In this episode we meet Matt and Lynelle, a couple living out the Victorian coastal dream on Phillip Island, a 90-minute drive south-east of Melbourne.
Phillip Island is truly a special part of Victoria with majestic bay beaches, great fishing, a family-friendly vibe, and some of the best surf beaches in Australia. As a family that loves sports, being outdoors, and doing things together, Matt and Lynelle couldn’t imagine a better location to raise their teenage boys and beautiful labrador.
Matt, Lynelle, and their sons moved into their 90's era home 15 years ago and undertook extensive renovations and landscaping. After hosting many happy memories for the family, the house is now looking a bit dated and the family is facing a cross-generational living dilemma. Times are changing and they want to future-proof the house for the next phase of their lives.
