Taking five at The Promenade with… Michelle from Hair at the Promenade

Michelle, tell me about you and your business. Hair at the Promenade has been here for 16 years now but I’d rather not say how long I’ve been a hairdresser! I’m here Monday to Friday and employ another hairdresser, Jodie. I’m really proud that 90% of our business comes from repeat clientele.

What do you enjoy about your work? It’s ever changing. The trends, new products, styles – it’s a fun and creative industry.

What trends are hot in hair right now? Splashes of colour, whether its colour washes or bold colour choices, that seems to be on trend, especially with the younger clientele. For the more mature ladies, we are seeing lots of lovely golden and rich brown colours, with short bobs, flowing long locks and body.

What do you like about being based here? I love all the natural light here and how open plan it is. It’s great to be able to look at the creek through the working day. All the businesses here make it feel like a little community too.

What do you like to do on the weekends? I like to keep fit and am part of the Coffs tri club and regularly participate in Iron Man competitions around Australia. I also like to walk my dog – Lily. She’s a Groodle (Golden Retriever / Poodle) and is quite often seen in salon from time to time.

Thanks Michelle.

The proximity to CBD and Jetty, whilst enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and creek outlook.

What trends are you seeing in the mortgage sector

At present in the mortgage/home loan industry, there are many factors impacting on borrowers which are as a result of an uplift in the property market, regulatory limitations on Lenders by APRA, government policies etc.

There are daily changes which affect borrowers such as interest rates changes independent of RBA cash rate, investment lending limitations, borrowing capacity etc. It is our role to be informed on these changes and navigate impacts so we can educate and provide our clients with personalised finance solutions.

What is the process to getting My Mortgage Manager to help a potential client

It is best for a prospective client to contact us and book a consultation via phone, social media (Facebook/Instagram), or via our website or Mobile App: https://1af3.app.link/?brokerId=1-T069DV.

During the consultation, we discuss what your financial and personal needs and goals are, now, short term and long term. Then we research the many different products from a range of 30+ lenders to ensure we provide the right solution that meets your needs and goals. We’ll do the paperwork, manage the application process right through to settlement. We then remain in constant contact via ongoing management to ensure our clients remain with the market-leading product and interest rates.

Anything in particular tips for those with a mortgage

A second opinion maybe the best opinion.

Scrumptious samplings from Shearwater

Scrumptious samplings from Shearwater

Feeling the chill on these cooler winter mornings? Why not start your day with a tasty brekky from the great new menu at Shearwater Restaurant.

$12 breakfasts are served every day from 8am so you can enjoy yummy ricotta hot cakes or the delicious corn fritters with the gorgeous creek setting as your morning backdrop. Some of the breakfast dishes are so popular that they’re also made available on the lunch menu (such as the Corn Fritters and Croque Madame).

Chef Luke Guy is relatively new to Shearwater and is delighted to have introduced Korean Fried Chicken Sliders. The buns for this dish are sourced from K’Pane Artisan Bakery in Coffs who are renowned for their organic, fermented bread.  Throughout the year, Shearwater also has beautiful fresh fish, all locally caught, available for lunch and dinner.

The menus at Shearwater are designed to reflect the seasons and the restaurant has some enticing comfort food available to warm us up with delicious dishes such as the Beef Bourguigon and Lamb Shanks available for dinner. The Pan Roasted Duck Breast with sticky pork belly and an Asian baby herb salad also goes down like a treat with diners.

And let’s not forget those with a sweet tooth who keenly eye off the dessert specials even before taking a seat. All daily desserts blackboard specials are a set price of $11.90 and with offerings such as crème brulee, bake ricotta and strawberry cheesecake and Sticky Date Pudding with warm butterscotch sauce available, dessert will surely hit the spot. Desserts are available with all three meals of the day.

And how many delicious restaurants provide their patrons the opportunity for fish feeding? One thing you may not know is that The Promenade site has been developed where the Coffs Butter Factory once stood.  The theory is that the factory used to release the buttermilk into the creek every day and attract schools of fish. Today, plenty of fish can still be spotted below the front deck and staff are happy to provide bread to customers for the fish. It’s just one of the many appealing elements of enjoying a relaxing, waterfront dining experience.

The bar at Shearwater is stocked with a wonderful variety of wines and the venue is also available for weddings, parties and corporate functions. Shearwater Restaurant is open for breakfast lunch and dinner daily.
