Things To Do In The Shire: Pulse Property’s Ultimate Guide
From Coffee Shops To Coastal Trails, Here Are Shire Gems Worth Visiting According To The Team From Pulse
The Shire is jam-packed with suburban cafes tucked into side streets, leafy walks and top-notch coffee - we’ve even got a craft whisky bar. There is so much to see, eat and do that you’d be forgiven for never wanting to leave. But sometimes, even for locals, it’s hard to know where to go hunting for something new.
Here at Shire Scout, we thrive on tried and tested recommendations to expand our horizons and stay in the know. So who better to turn to than Pulse Property Agents, who spend their days out and about, scouting the best each suburb has to offer. Their clued-in team have shared with us their personal favourite Shire gems. Keep your eye out for part two and three of this new segment as different team members share their insights!
Rebecca O’Kane
Rebecca is a multi-talented lass doubling as Pulse’s primary receptionist and assistant to five of Pulse’s Residential Sales agents. Lover of to-do lists and the office’s dog-friendly policy, Rebecca shares her picks…
The Blind Bear
This craft beer, whisky and cocktail bar has a cosy speakeasy feel. Rebecca’s tips? “I absolutely love the hot wings here and the ‘Spicy Ginger’ cocktail on tap! They have $10 cocktails on a Friday night, too!”
Honeymoon Trail
As for a weekend activity, Rebecca makes use of having The Royal National Park on her doorstep, regularly making the trip down to Audley via The Honeymoon Trail. “ It's not too challenging if you don’t want it to be, it's absolutely beautiful and it’s so close to home!”
Adam Sharp
When Sales Agent Adam Sharp isn’t helping Shire residents sell or purchase their homes, he is out and about training as an ultra-runner so no prizes for guessing his first pick…
Cape Baily Lighthouse Walk
Fond of a quality running route, Adam favours Cape Bailey’s 7km track for the top-notch sunrises and whale spotting opportunities.
Grind Cronulla
Like many Cronulla locals, Adam’s choice for a morning brew is Grind Cronulla. Slinging quality morning vibes, Adam recommends popping in at 5:30am just in time to watch the sunrise with a warm almond cap.
Ellouise Dunn
Ellouise is the Pratt Team Manager at Pulse, bringing her skills in organisation and sales process. But outside of work, she has a few favourite hangs.
Bianca Orlando
Keen on a career in real estate from the moment she left school, Bianca thrives on creating personal relationships with her clients. As for being out and about exploring The Shire, her fave Shire spots happen to be the same as Ellouise’s!
Bird Cage
“For my morning coffee and I love seeing the friendly faces of the staff that work at Birdcage”, shares Bianca.
Basement Health & Fitness
Both Bianca and Ellouise recommend Basement Health & Fitness for its friendly and approachable atmosphere! “I love this gym because of the culture. Everyone is extremely friendly and always happy. Basement really makes you stay on track and actually care about the end result, physical and mental. They do morning and afternoon classes with a variety of weights and cardio training, as well as 1:1 sessions. They also have a sauna which you can book at any time.”
Ben Pike
The Director of Pulse Property, Ben is well-respected Shire-wide and beyond. His policy of honesty and trust has helped him build a formidable reputation whilst his belief in an open line of communication has led to many repeat clients. His top Shire picks…
Grind Cronulla
Another fan of Grind, Ben has frequented this specialist coffee house since 2002. Open earlier than most, Ben loves to hit up Grind after an early morning run. His order? A unique one grind calls ‘Doppio’.
Oak Park
When he is not with his clients or his team, you will find Ben at Oak Park with his wife, three daughters and cavoodle Hugo, meeting with friends, swimming in the ocean and firing up the bbq.
Crystal Hill
Crystal's favourite thing about being a Leasing Consultant with Pulse is the incredible workplace culture the team cultivates as well as connecting with new clients on a daily basis. She recommends…
Cape Solander
From July onwards you’ll find Crystal enjoying a spot of whale watching at one of Sydney’s best lookouts, Cape Solander. You will find Cape Solander in Kamay Botany Bay National Park, Kurnell. Pop into Cook at Kurnell or Milkhouse for a post whale watch brunch.
Messina
We’re not surprised this renowned gelato emporium made it as one of Crystal’s picks. Her flavour suggestion? “Definitely the salted caramel and white chocolate”.
