There is always plenty to see and do locally, so follow us on twitter (@MaisonPacifique) or facebook (La Maison Pacifique) for your regular updates on what’s on in our region (including local events and markets).

1.What’s new at La Maison Pacifique

Great fun with friends

Great fun with friends

While we try to keep our photos as up to date as possible, there are always new things happening at La Maison Pacifique.  We’ve talked recently about our new venture for cooking classes/evenings by hosting a dinner party.  We have already had a couple of very successful evenings where guests have enjoyed the delights with Leanne from 2 Cooks in the Kitchen. With such a well equipped kitchen, this is a great activity for a couples or girls weekend.  Additionally, as our garden continues to grow and we are able to reap its rewards, we encourage all our guests to sample the fruits and herbs on offer – and free to all our guests for their culinary delights.  (Don’t forget we have a plethora of great cookbooks from which to source your recipes and many local farmers markets to pick up other fresh produce).

We have been continuing to improve the boring stuff too – new airconditioning units have replaced the old, the decks have all been refinished, we are continuing with our pest control program and all new pillows have been purchased.  Our yearly maintenance program was completed in November (before the school holiday rush) so our peaceful house is spic and span and ready for your arrival.

Another recent innovation is our new security patrol.  We already have monitored alarms, and guests will note there are no keys for the front gate and door – just a kypad where we personalise your entry code.  We have added night-time security patrols to this to ensure safety of guests and their belongings and a peaceful neighbourhood.

2. Changing Seasons Last Minute Special

Now is a great time to take advantage of our Winter Last Minute Special!  With our quietest period upon us (May/June each year), we are offering all guests a 10% discount on all stays of 3+ days during those months (2 night stays remain at the same price).  So take advantage of the cooling weather, curl up in front of our fire and enjoy the delights of winter on the Tweed Coast.  With mild winter days and cool winter nights, there is no better time to relax after the heat of a long hot summer.  There are still lots of events happening so now is the time to book!

3. Top things to do at Fingal Head

Top things to do at Fingal Head

We at La Maison Pacifique love exploring our local area – and we’ve come up with the Top things to do at Fingal Head for you.  When it comes to odd facts, they don’t come much odder than the fact that this charming Tweed village was named after the mythical Celtic giant Fingal who reportedly built the famous Giant’s Causeway in Ireland.

Fingal Head is situated just across the Queensland border in the Northern Rivers/Tweed Coast area of Northern NSW and is a mecca for those who like to be close to the Gold Coast, but enjoy the quiet serenity of this beautiful border town.

4. Carla’s top things to do in Kingscliff NSW

Things to do in Kingscliff NSW

As you know we love promoting local things to do in and around our beautiful, luxury, beachfront holiday home – La Maison Pacifique – in Casuarina so we have had a chat to another local – Carla – and put together for you “Carla’s Top things to do in Kingscliff” NSW.

Firstly though – a little about Carla.  Carla is a local business owner – of the store “On Kliff” on Marine Parade in Kingscliff.  As a long term resident and friend of many, Carla’s is the place to shop for the latest fashion in Northern NSW (at least we think so!).  As a fashion designer herself – and with her own label – Mode Village – where all her fashions are manufactured locally on the Gold Coast, Carla has a unique eye and a stylist’s approach to making her clients look great.  One thing I really appreciate when I visit Carla is that she is not shy about saying what styles and fashions would suit you best – and she is right too!

5. Wedding Ettiquette – Social Media Style

In our social media world, there are some wedding ettiquette – social media style tips that you can follow which can ensure that you embrace not only your newly-engaged status, but are mindful of the ettiquette involved – and keeping everyone happy too!

We have found this great article The New Rules of Wedding Etiquette by Simone Hill (published on theknot.com.au)which will give you, (the bridal couple) and your guests some tips and tricks and the do’s and don’ts of wedding ettiquette – social media style.

Top Wedding Dance Videos

To inspire your special day, we’ve put together for you our Top Wedding Dance Videos.  From Mums dancing with sons, brides dancing for their grooms (and vice versa) and Fathers/Mothers couples tearing up the dance floor with their daughter/son, over the last few years, there has been some fantastic, fun, sentimental, beautiful and poignant wedding dance videos streaming to us all via the internet.

We’re not going to rank/rate them, but smile with us as we enjoy the special moments for these couples and their families and friends – and does this inspire you to do something too?
