Not just one house, but a whole street of smart and innovative sustainable homes will be open to the public at The Cape for National Sustainable House Day, on Sunday 17th September. To celebrate, The Cape team will be hosting a street party to celebrate, with live music, free barista made coffee and refreshments, Q&A with energy efficiency experts, builders and designers, free rides along the Bunurong Coastal Drive in Tesla long range electric cars, tours of Victoria’s most innovative community garden, and much more. ​

Come and enjoy the event with us at Periwinkle Place, Cape Paterson, Sunday 17th September, 10am – 4pm, and download a program for the day here. Sustainable House Day is a growing national event, with a record number of over 180 new and existing homes opening up across Australia, as more families get on board improving their homes and opening their doors to share their experiences. 

It’s no secret that South Gippsland and the Bass Coast are home to an abundance of exquisite food and wine destinations, from the ones set amongst the rolling lush hills to those overlooking the picturesque coastline. When you’re next in the area, it’s a must that you pay a visit to at least one winery - you will not be disappointed. Whilst we could write for hours about all of the activities on our doorstep, we have taken a handful of our favourites to give you the run down on.
