BEST of Redlands and Bayside is set to become your new weekly ritual, a bright, personality-driven snapshot of the standout people, places and experiences shaping life across our coastal suburbs.
From the quirkiest community classes to the most beloved bakeries, from gyms with cult followings to hidden gem playgrounds only locals know, the series will spotlight the very best of what makes this region tick.
Building on the momentum of Ash’s Appetite, the food column that carved out its own loyal readership, we’re expanding the lens.
Instead of just tasting the region, we’re exploring it. Each week, the series will dive into a different category.
Maybe it’s the most whole- same curiosity and humour that defined Ash’s Appetite, but with a broader canvas.
Expect a few surprises, like discovering the region’s most unexpectedly soothing yoga class happening in a converted boat shed, or that the best brownie in the Bayside is baked by a retired engineer who only sells them on Thursdays.
Next week’s category goes headfirst into “Best Butcher”, with plenty more to uncover.
Make sure to cast your vote in the next Best of Redlands & Bayside Facebook post on your favourite go-to butcher.
Whether you’re looking for your next favourite spot or simply want to feel more connected to the place you call home, Best of Redlands and Bayside aims to be your weekly guide to the region’s brightest offerings
