had the pleasure of working with Neale Whitaker and his talented creative partner David Novak-Piper for seven years. Neale was a fabulous mentor, and our team had to all his other creative collaborations. We have featured the couple’s beautiful home in the magazine and in our tome, where it makes the cover. And you can see the dynamic duo’s latest undertaking – a foray into the world of luxe staycations – in this issue. The events of recent years have made us all more motivated to investigate travel destinations closer to home, and Neale and David’s gorgeous Taylor’s of Berry, named in tribute to David’s late mother, Ruth, is a beautiful sanctuary to escape to on the NSW South Coast. Their new accommodation offering allows everyone to experience the idyllic Berry lifestyle, if only for a weekend. Turn to page 24 to take a tour.
