Fleurieu Living Magazine

Our advertising partners • A special thanks to the advertising partners that have made a long-term commitment to FLM.

From the publishing editor • This summer issue is a celebration – exactly as we like it – of all things local. Each season seems to bring new energy to our region: new cafés opening their doors, familiar favourites expanding, creative makers emerging and established producers continuing to lift the bar.

Something to celebrate • We’re excited to highlight the recent achievements and developments of the region’s best and brightest businesses. Here’s a quick look at some developments worth celebrating.

The Dunes House • If I had to choose one word to describe architect David Burton it would be convivial. On a sunny October afternoon, we spend a companionable hour talking all things architecture and design.

Every patch of wall is filled with a painting and every surface is adorned with an eclectic mix of ceramics, figurines and other knick-knacks. Despite its colourful maximalism, the space remains tasteful and refined – a reflection of Helen’s own unusual yet sophisticated ceramic style.

Award-winning spirits and unforgettable experiences at Never Never Distilling Co • The time of the year has arrived when a bold-flavoured gin – award winning of course – and sweeping McLaren Vale views become the perfect answer anytime someone asks, ‘What should we do today?’

A Christmas tale • This year marks our third Christmas as owners of Tanamera – the Christmas tree farm on Hunt Road in McLaren Flat. It has been a steep learning curve but we have thrown our hearts and souls into it.

Alton House • Alton House in Port Willunga is an iconic landmark woven into the history of South Australia and the Fleurieu Peninsula. It stands as an enduring symbol of the town’s heritage as a bustling rural...
