“We knew as soon as we got here. This is the place we’d been looking for,” says Kelly. Coffee Club at The Village Ōmokoroa opens its doors to the public at 7 a.m. tomorrow, Thursday 9th November.Matthew Farrell reports:Owner-operators Kelly and Jessica Bain and their three boys moved into town last week and say they’ve never known a community like Ōmokoroa.“We’ve already had eight neighbours introduce themselves and bring us shortbread, avocados, and chocolate slices. Our 8-year-old absolutely loves knowing the whole street. After five years in Hibiscus Coast, we only knew one of our neighbours,” says Kelly.“The sense of community feels so perfect, so good. We are really excited to be opening and for the children to be starting at Point School and Minnows Kindergarten.“The biggest reason for moving here is to have a better lifestyle for our family. I’ve been in hospitality all my life and ran a restaurant in Auckland for the past five years. It was busy and hectic, and I loved it - but it was stressful, too - and it was time for a change.“We kept an eye out for about 18 months for the right opportunity, and after a chat with Coffee Club about Ōmokoroa, we drove down the next day to check it out and made the decision within 24 hours. “This place has morning sun, which is perfect for us, and evening sun for our neighbours at Village Green, which is perfect for them. The Village Ōmokoroa is a great development for all the businesses here. I greatly believe in the aphorism; a rising tide lifts all boats.L-R: Cameron Hollis, Kelly Bain, Jose Vilardy, Ruby Ji.
