How a Lost Parcel Sparked a Thriving Partnership with Aanuka Beach House a venue in a Family Friendly Resort!
Let me share a cool story I like to call a “God-cidence.”
A client placed an order of two boarshorts via our website, and since he lived nearby, I planned to deliver it myself. I packed the order but accidentally dropped it into a red street post box without a shipping label. Panic set in when I realized what had happened because it was the last product available in that size.
Determined to get it back, I moved heaven and earth, calling the national post office and doing everything I could to retrieve the parcel. The next day, with my husband away in Colombia for a family emergency, I took my two kids and camped out by the red post box from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., waiting for the driver. Somehow, I managed to keep my toddler and child entertained for seven hours (luckly the post box was just next to a cafe managed by lovely and helpful ladies).
When the driver finally arrived at 5pm, I explained my situation, but he said, “Sorry, I can’t hand it over for security reasons. I’ll leave it at a specific post office nearby.” Frustrated but hopeful, I took the bus to the post office—only to find it closed.
By Wednesday, I decided to call the client, explain the situation, and offer him a different pattern. He was understanding and kind, saying, “No problem. I actually bought a pair of your boardies at the Watsons Bay Market. My wife loved them so much that I looked up your label and ordered some for my kids. We absolutely love the quality and fabric.”
Then he added, “By the way, I own a few hotel venues and really like your boardshorts. Would you be open to a wholesale partnership so we can feature them in our hotels?”
That was music to my ears! Suddenly, everything made sense. We discussed details, and placed a wholesale order— we’re enjoying an amazing partnership and you can find us now at Aanuka Beach House in Coffs Harbour NSW a beachfront venue and restaurant near the family friendly resort, Aanuka Beach Resort.
From sunrise to sunset, this coastal spot has it all!
Whether you’re craving woodfired pizzas, fresh seafood platters, or handcrafted cocktails, you’ll be spoiled for choice.

And the hotel next door, Aanuka Beach Resort, has activities like an outdoor rock pool with a slide, a kids’ pool and play area, relaxing cave spas, tennis courts, mini putt-putt golf, and beach volleyball—just to name a few. And best of all, Diggers Beach is only a short stroll from your room!
