TH E beach lifestyle has long played a major role in David and Sharon Cole's way of life. After deciding to make
the move from Sydney, finding a Gold Coast home that provided all the benefits of seaside living was a high priority for the couple.
When they snapped up an apartment in the $95 million Kirra Surf Apartments, they knew they had found exactly what they were searching for. Mr and Mrs Cole said what happened next was a logical step.
"We have holidayed with our children on the Gold Coast for a number of years, and loving the warmer weather and laid back lifestyle made the move up inevitable," they said.
"The apartments at Kirra Surf provide everything we need and offer great views overlooking the city skyline to the north and the beautiful beach below.
"It is reassuring to know that the views we bought willnever be built out as we are overlooking the public park directly on to the beach."
Kirra Surf Apartments offer large lifestyle balconies that enhance the stunning ocean and hinterland views and create
an al fresco area for entertaining friends or watching the waves roll in.
The development will feature a vibrant cafe and restaurant spanning 2000sqm whilst residents will also enjoy a range of facilities including an horizon edge resort pool with surrounding sun terrace, sauna, gymnasium and barbecue.
According to Mr and Mrs Cole, the features are just an added benefit to the stunning natural amenity.
"We have always found Kirra to be the most beautiful beach on the Gold Coast and it is great place to take a swim or go surfing,' said the couple.
"It is nice to take a relaxing walk up to Snapper Rocks and soak in the stunning scenery and sights and sounds.
"The southern Gold Coast seems to offer a slower pace of life in comparison to other coastal suburbs such as
Broadbeach and Surfers Paradise, yet there is still plenty to do.
"There are a lot of great restaurants and cafes close by and we are perfectly positioned to sample them all."
Only a handful of highquality apartments remain in the luxurious world-class Kirra Surf Apartments with settlement due in May.
Mr Cole said he believed buying into a mixed use development is a benefit as the couple will have the option to place their apartment into the rental pool in future.
"Having a great management team in place will allow us to travel for extended periods of time safe in the knowledge that our apartment will be secure and well looked after," he said.
"The added benefit of rental returns will also offset some of the cost of travel, giving us more freedom and time to spend away in our retirement."
North-facing Kirra is one of the Gold Coast's most iconic beaches, having been home to one of the first surflifesaving clubs in Queensland and the breeding ground of several surfing world champions.
Macquarie Group of Companies and Parkview are developing Kirra Surf and have designed the project with luxury in mind, resulting in ultra-modem residences and quality features.
The development is being marketed by Gold Coast-based TOTAL Project Marketing, headed by Adrian Parsons.
