In this episode of Living Your Luxe Life, Christine Mount from Luxe Coastal Property Buyers speaks with Shona Stephenson, co-founder of The Expatriate, about why Peregian Beach has become her chosen home base and why it resonates so strongly with expats returning to Australia.

Shona shares her personal journey of selecting Peregian Beach, highlighting its natural beauty, protected environment, and village-style community. From morning walks along the dunes to evenings dining at local favourites, she paints a picture of a lifestyle that blends coastal simplicity with global connectivity.

The conversation also explores how flexibility, such as finding properties with Airbnb approval or furnished rental potential, can be a game-changer for expats who divide their time between Australia and overseas. Shona reflects on the importance of community connection, access to international airports, and the ability to design a life that balances both legacy and lifestyle.

Whether you’re an expat considering a return to Australia or simply dreaming of a Sunshine Coast sea change, this episode offers a personal perspective on why Peregian Beach stands out as a place to call home.
