Happy Easter from Hervey Bay 🐣

Thank you for the Birthday wishes everyone.
Our Lady Elliot Island trip was a refreshing escape from the digital world. We spent three days immersed in nature, swimming with turtles, manta rays, and whales. The perfect holiday, made even more special by the birthday wishes.

If anyone got an email from me, please don’t open it, it’s another scam 🤦‍♀️

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY!
My mother always said getting older was a privilege denied to many. To all of my female friends from 50 years and up... most of us are going through a challenging phase of our lives. We're at that age where we see wrinkles, grey hair, and extra pounds. We've run households, had careers, raised families, paid the bills, dealt with sickness, sadness, grief, and everything else life has assigned us. We are survivors... we are warriors in the quiet... we are Women...aged like a classic car or a fine wine. Even if our bodies are not what they once were, they carry our histories, our souls, our courage, and our strength. We should never feel bad about getting older. It's a privilege that is denied to so many.
Enjoy every minute. 💜

And that’s a wrap!!

It’s time to move on to the next chapter of our lives by closing Jenkins Street Guesthouse.

While it has been a massive undertaking, it has also been a hugely rewarding experience.

We have learnt a lot about hospitality and restoring this old building, but this guesthouse has also taught us a lot about ourselves. (Like how much little sleep you actually need to survive).

There have been ups, there have been downs. But through it all we have enjoyed ourselves immensely.

To everyone who has stopped in and bought a drink, a meal or even stayed the night in our luxury accommodation, thank you, we have made life long friends.

Thanks also to our dear friends & family who have helped along the way. Your hard work and ability to go above and beyond, is truly remarkable.

Lastly, to our families. It’s going to be nice to spend a some quality time together

We have been lucky enough to call Jenkins Street Guesthouse our home for the past six years.

Unfortunately the new owners have only purchased the property and not the business, they intend to use it as a residential home.
It is so sad to have to close the guesthouse, but we have and we hope, many of you have fond memories of your time at our guesthouse.

So, from our family to yours, we say goodbye & thanks for the memories.

A visit to Nundle would not be complete without a tour of Nundle Woollen Mill ❤️
