Troy Noonan is the co-owner of Lennox Head restaurant “Shelter”. The prime real estate sits waterfront on 7 Mile Beach overlooking one of Australia’s most iconic right-hand point breaks. He took on the business seven years ago and has put all of his eggs into one basket, completely dedicating himself to the success of the business.
