returning guests Lee Bradbury and David Crane
will tell you, they have found a lot to like about
Richmond and the Hawkesbury.
“Richmond is a great getaway from the hustle
and bustle of Sydney life,” Lee said. “We enjoy
very much what it has to offer, especially that
we can slow down and have all the facilities
we need.” Perfectly positioned opposite the
Richmond Club and with a picturesque outlook
of the lowlands, Wanderest promises an
inexpensive holiday with all the conveniences
For those visiting the region for the first time,

This month is also the grand opening of
Amber Style and Beauty, which is open to club
members and their guests, as well as visitors
staying at Wanderest.
David and Lee were the first customers to try
the salon. “Amber is a great idea for members,”
David said.
“The staff were great and the special deals for
club members are wonderful. We will definitely
use them again and again.” Both commended

expand the current site in the near future as well
as franchise the idea to other clubs, something
that David and Lee hoped would eventuate
soon.
“Richmond Club have set the bar high,” they
said. “It would be a wonderful idea in another
part of Sydney, but the standard would have to
be the same to be successful.”

and Wanderest. The Wanderest package only
