A multi-million dollar renaissance has been taking place at the iconic Cottesloe Beach Hotel. Established in 1905 and renovated in the 1930s and 40s, the building still retains the art deco character that makes it such a striking beachfront landmark.

After shopping for wedding outfits in Mount Lawley recently, Jac and I decided to have dinner before heading home. We went to Monte Fiore Cafe on Beaufort Street which is, incidentally, where we first met.
