  Description

  Hi, I'm Daynia, a young-at-heart 58-year-old living in my dream home on the southern end of the Gold Coast. It's very beautiful here, surrounded by nature and wildlife. My home is nestled amongst the gum trees on 1 1/4 acres with wallabies jumping through the backyard and the occasional koala in the trees. The property has a large pool, a BBQ, fire pit, and plenty of off-street parking.
  
  As you can imagine, with the size of the property comes some home maintenance and yard work, and I'd like to establish a small vege garden for my dad, who is 87. He lives in his own apartment on my property and loves to grow things.
  
  I'm located only 5 mins from the Pines shopping centre and 10 mins from Palm Beach/Currumbin, one of the best beaches for learning to surf. There are a variety of cafes and restaurants along the Gold Coast Highway, and Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary is a wonderful place to see a variety of Australian animals all within a 10-minute drive. There's an amazing rock pool with a waterfall slide only 25-mins drive in Cougal National Park.
  
  A bit more about my background: I have 2 sons who are now living and working in the USA. In 2019, I graduated with a degree in Psychological Science and have a keen interest in Neuroplasticity. When I was a child, my family travelled in a tour bus and performed music, comedy, and drama shows for schools and towns all over Queensland. I can recommend many beautiful places to explore in our wonderful country.

  Autres infos...

  There is a bus service at the top of our street, but it's best to have your own car.
  
  There are beautiful beaches all within 10 - 20 minutes of my home. Plenty of cafes and restaurants along the Gold Coast Hwy and surrounds. I highly recommend visiting Cougal National Park, which has gorgeous waterfalls and a hike only a 25-minute drive.
