Group welcomes new businesses

The Ettalong Beach Business Group has welcomed several new small businesses which have come to the area over the past six months, according to group president Mr Richard Berntsen.

"It would appear that the unique composition of our small village, its location, and mix of cafes, restaurants, tourists and shoppers from outside of the immediate town area has brought the newest of tenants to Ettalong Beach," Mr Berntsen said.

"Ettalong Beach has been progressing well.

"Little steps in the right direction will help to ensure success for our little village, and further its unique location and charm."

Mr Berntsen said the local business group offered all the best for the new enterprises and reminded local residents and visitors to support the businesses that were investing in the community.

He said that Goddess by the Sea sold home and giftware needs, including one-off gift ideas for someone special.

"Ecoya candles are a particular specialty.

"The Scarlett Table offers a casual relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a great coffee and cake.

"Jason, the owner, takes care of breakfast and lunch.

"Local art that is for sale hangs on all the walls.

"Ronnie's Takeaway is a new takeaway and chicken shop that opened recently.

"Lullaby Conceptions provides affordable maternity wear including jeans, dresses and nursing tops.

"They also carry a range of affordable fertility products such as pregnancy and ovulation tests and morning sickness relief.

"Serenity Gifts and Home Wares offers a mix of local and imported home decor pieces, jewellery, clothing and gifts.

"The Silk Drawer offers a range of Swedish lingerie in a wide range of sizes."
