Sorrento Beach Resort acquired by Victorian property developer for eye-watering $30 million
The Sorrento Beach Resort could be set for a facelift in the near future after being purchased by a Victorian property development company for a reported $30 million. Goldfields Group recently secured full ownership of the about 9000sqm of beachfront land after two years spent uniting 81 individual apartments and units. The Resort is just a few hundred metres south of Hillarys Boat Harbour and currently offers a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments, studios, and a variety of amenities. It also sits across the road from the controversial eight-storey 75-apartment $73.7 million Megara development Ora Sorrento, which is now under construction and scheduled for completion by late 2026. Goldfields' CEO Lachlan Thompson said the acquisition of the Resort was a strategic investment to address a gap in the Perth market. 'Upon assessing the Perth and broader WA hotel market, we identified a severe shortage of well-located boutique-style hotels and serviced apartment offerings,' Mr Thompson said. 'Our plan is to continue operating Sorrento Beach Resort while implementing immediate value-add opportunities that benefit guests and the broader Sorrento community. 'Sorrento Beach Resort has shown consistent revenue growth over the past decade, and we foresee several opportunities to further enhance its value and overall performance.' With this deal now complete, the developer now owns three WA properties , joining its Spindrift residential project in Margaret River and a 200-lot subdivision in Cowaramup. Goldfields WA State director Gareth Wilson believes the Sorrento Beach Resort has huge potential. 'We are thrilled to have secured this property that will ultimately form part of an emerging precinct,' Mr Wilson said.

28 Sandals That'll Replace The Pair You Destroyed Last Summer
Lace-up wedge sandals that'll help you perfectly recreate Megara's fabulous look from Hercules — and who wouldn't want to look as cool as she does??? They also feature a non-slip rubber sole, so if you fall on your face, that's on YOU, girly. 😂 Stylish slides with double buckles that are more than just a pretty face — they are actually adjustable (gasp!), so even if you typically fall into a "wide foot" range, you can still rock these! Or extra-wide-width strappy sandals you'll enjoy even if you DON'T typically have a wide foot — they're a great travel option if your feet tend to swell while flying. These straps add a little *~somethin' somethin'~* to a typical sandal, don't ya think? Aerothotic flip-flops that'll check every last box on your list of footwear concerns — they have soft straps, serious arch support (shout out to their gel insoles), a sweat-resistant footbed, and come in a bunch of lovely colors! Double-buckle slides for anyone who adores the look of Birkenstocks but has a more *~footloose and fancy-free ~* style when it comes to their footwear choices. These are just as comfortable but come in some more playful styles. Some slip-on platform wedges in case you're hoping to literally elevate your style, starting with your spring/summer shoes. Chunky espadrille sandals are exactly what you need to kickstart your warm-weather fashion overhaul — they're so comfortable one reviewer even boasted about being able to limbo in them. 😅 Strappy chunky heels with a square toe that'll make you wanna show off those tootsies from dawn to dusk. They're super versatile, come in so many fun shades, and will take you straight to Compliment City the next time you wear 'em around your friends. Or a flat braided pair in case you love the *lewk* but have zero interest in wearing heels all day (I certainly couldn't!). These give off high-end energy but are so affordable you won't cry into your rosé if you spill something on them. Steve Madden slides you'll happily slip in and out of all summer long whether you're planning to take a midday stroll or are off to a pal's to enjoy a daiquiri by the pool. Cheers to you and your new shoes, dahhhhling. Cushioned sandals featuring thick straps and a supportive sole for those occasions where you want to rock cute footwear but also would rather not end up with blisters galore. Simple leather slides you can count on to go with *everything* and never go out of style — you truly can't go wrong investing in a pair of these bad boys. Handmade leather sandals with a minimalist look to them that'll leave you reaching for them over and over. The leather insoles will soften over time so, just like your favorite bottle of wine, these will get better with age. Classic jelly sandals you'll get tons of praise for since they are totally having *a moment* right now. Go ahead and relive your childhood even though you're an adult with a full-time job and bills. Colorful Tevas for anyone who *already* has a pair they've loved and adored so much that they're basically in shambles — treat yourself to new ones this summer so you can get back to traipsing along a rocky trail without the need to break out sneakers. Squishy slide-on slippers that are primarily meant to be worn at home — and that's OK because they're so ridiculously comfortable you won't want to risk wearing them outdoors too much. These delectable little marshmallow–like slip-ons must be protected at all costs! Chunky sandals for all my '90s babies who are still not over the return of this trend — the chunky heel and platform sole will take your style *~to the next level~* while paying homage to the ones you used to run around in during the summer of 1998. Block-heel sandals with a stylish slingback design that'll replace the basic pair you wore down into the ground while parading through countless weddings and baby showers last summer. Reef two-strap sandals that'll make you stop what you're doing the second you try 'em on so you can call your bestie and tell her you've found your sole-mate. They're made of vegan leather and have cushy, rubber sole that'll make you feel more supported than ever. Classic Adidas slides you've likely coveted since your teen years when all the cool athletes wore them throughout the halls on game days (couldn't possibly just be my school, right?), Anyways, they're perfect for slipping on in a hot second when your dog is begging to go out, for a jaunt in Target, or to grab a quick coffee. Braided Plaka sandals for anyone who has always prided themselves on curating a flawless boho look and making it seem effortless. The straps on these beauties are adjustable, so no need to fret over any potential rubbing! Elastic strap sandals you'll love as much as your favorite pair of leggings — and for similar reasons! They're super stretchy and will perfectly fit around your feet without digging in like a toddler who was just given an ice cream sundae. You're going to love wearing these everywhere and anywhere! Faux leather slip-ons with Hermès vibes (ooh, la la) because you deserve to feel fancy-schmancy without dumping your entire savings into a shoe purchase. The H-shape is timeless and will pair beautifully with all of your go-to summer looks, I promise. Sorel Kinetic sandals I can honestly imagine wearing when we all finally make the move to living on the space station with Zenon. Zetus lapetus, these shoes are so cute! Skechers rhinestone slingbacks that'll prove once and for all that shoes can be practical and dazzling simultaneously. These bejeweled beauties have a stretchy back strap to keep 'em in place and a yoga foam base that'll make you feel like you're walking on clouds. Crocs platform wedges, you'll take one look at 'em and be like, "No waaaaay, these are related to those clogs," and yet, they certainly are! Reviewers rave about how walkable they are and love wearing them while traveling. Supportive hiking sandals to help you channel your inner Sporty Spice without sacrificing your personal style. The braided straps are so fun (and adjustable!), and the entire shoe has been designed around arch support. The next time someone says, "Take a hike!" you can say, "I THINK I JUST MIGHT!" Dr. Martens fisherman sandals because why should you only be able to rock your favorite brand of shoes during the cooler seasons? These will help you transition out of your badass boots during the hot summer months. And Sanuk Yoga Mat flip-flops you'll be so impressed by — they're literally crafted from the same yoga mat material you collapse onto and stare at the ceiling after an intense session (that's the best part of any class, IMO). The material is super grippy so if you're prone to sweaty feet you won't have to think twice about slipping and sliding while you're out and about.
