In 1912, Dora Thompson leaves Sydney to take up a role in New Guinea as a governess. Instead, she finds herself without work and stranded - until she meets an intriguing group of German and English residents who have made New Guinea their home. As she enters their extraordinary world, the shadow of war falls over the German-controlled island, changing all their lives. Over a century later, filmmaker Chloe arrives in the Adelaide Hills to retrace her family history and make a feature film, inspired by her great-grandmother Dora’s writings about her life. Little does she know how her own life will change. Separated by generations, Chloe discovers that she and Dora share a daring search for purpose, independence and happiness in the most unexpected of places...

Positioned on an expansive 1,567m² allotment with an impressive 56 metres of direct frontage to Parkwood International Golf Course, this extensively renovated double-storey residence delivers a level of accommodation and entertaining rarely found in the local market. Boasting six generously proportioned bedrooms, each complete with its own private ensuite and built-in wardrobes, the home has been designed to accommodate large families, extended family living or those who simply enjoy having plenty of room for guests. Listing agent Joe Farr of Farr Real Estate believes the property is something quite special. "Every now and then a home comes along that really stands apart from the crowd, and this is certainly one of those properties. The combination of its size, quality renovations, golf course frontage and incredible entertaining facilities makes it a very unique offering," Joe said. Inside, the home makes an immediate impression with its grand entrance foyer, striking natural skylight and beautiful indoor garden. Multiple living areas provide plenty of space for the family to spread out, while the formal dining room connects to a fully renovated kitchen featuring quality modern appliances. The entertaining facilities are equally impressive, with a dedicated entertaining wing incorporating a bar, lounge area, pool room and guest accommodation complete with a private hot tub. The expansive lower-level master suite is another standout, offering direct access to the veranda, a spacious dressing room and its own sauna, creating a private retreat within the home. Outside, the resort-inspired lifestyle continues with an inviting swimming pool and extensive entertaining areas overlooking the golf course. Whether hosting family celebrations or enjoying a quiet afternoon beside the pool, the setting provides an exceptional environment to embrace the Gold Coast lifestyle. Additional features include a four-car garage, secure gated entry, extensive solar panels and battery storage, a home office and the option to purchase the property fully furnished. Joe believes the home will appeal to buyers looking for something beyond the ordinary. "There's so much flexibility here. It could be ideal for a large or blended family, someone who regularly entertains, or buyers looking for a home where they can accommodate family and friends without compromising on space or privacy," he said. "Properties offering this much accommodation, on a block of this size, with such substantial golf course frontage, are certainly not something you come across every day." Conveniently located close to quality schools, including Arundel State School and A.B. Paterson College, the property also provides easy access to the many lifestyle attractions and amenities of the northern Gold Coast.
