About the host

Hosted by Bryan Lowe

Mandy and I are both English migrants and dog lovers.
I'm retired from the TV and film world but Mandy is still busy saving lives as a nurse!
Deprived of sun, sand and surf growing up, we now spend our time between Sydney's Northern Beaches and Port Stephens. We first discovered Shoal Bay in 1985 and we have been spending time here ever since.
We bought and renovated Shoal Bay Retreat because of its prime beachside location, classic style and flexible layout for guests. As dog lovers (we have a spoodle) we allow well behaved doggies too!
