Hello! I'm Joel, and I've been intimately connected with this enchanting island for over 15 years. My life here is a beautiful symphony of nature, music, and community. As a passionate music enthusiast, I not only live and breathe the island's serene lifestyle but also operate a recording studio right here. This studio isn't just a workplace; it's a haven for artists seeking inspiration amidst the tranquility and beauty of our surroundings. My connection to music extends into my work with Rolling Stone, but my heart belongs to the island.
In addition to my love for music, I am the proud host of the Deerubbin Beach House, a holiday property that boasts arguably the best vantage point on the island. Located right on the south beach, the Beach House offers an unparalleled experience of island living, combining comfort, style, and the best views you can imagine.
I love hosting people here because this island is truly a hidden gem. Just a 45-minute journey from Sydney, and you'll feel like you've entered a different world. A world where time slows down, and nature takes the front seat. The island's tranquility is a stark contrast to the bustling city life, offering an escape that's both close yet feels a million miles away.
My favorite part about living here? It's hard to choose! Whether it's hanging out at the local cafe, engaging in friendly banter with the locals at the bowling club, or enjoying the high tide swims, kayaking, and rowing, every moment here is special. And let's not forget the full moon nights - watching the moonlight dance over the water is an experience that never gets old.
For the adventurers, the river offers endless activities. From serene bush walks to Pearl Beach, jet skiing, indulging in fresh oysters on the floating oyster barge, to picnicking on the beach and enjoying campfires - there's something for everyone here.
I am excited to share this slice of paradise with you. Whether you're here for relaxation, adventure, or inspiration.
