Manières d'économiser

Plenty of surf wear (wet suits) and clothing to choose from at better than retail outlet prices. Normally a bargain to be had!

Bike is a great way to get around locally.
Make sure you are able to lock your bikes.
Que faut-il apporter ?
Pack for all seasons!
Torquay fronts the Southern Ocean. Ugg boots in winter. Wide brimmed hat during summer and a light spray jacket for all occasions. Appropriate footwear when visiting bush treks and visiting waterfalls!
Se déplacer dans les environs
When walking the tracks and coastal beach accesses.
Be aware of snakes around the surrounding beach access points, such as walking through the dunes off Whites Beach and the cliff tops of Jan Juc during the warmer weather. Ps. They are more frightened of us! So it’s preferable to let them just go about their business!
