The closest place to grab a coffee. About 150m from our front door in a kiosk under the Surf Lifesavers building.
Honeybee encourages BYO CUPS, you will find some in our bottom kitchen drawer. If you don't take your own cups they serve in a unique eco carboard cup. Always check they are open as they tend to be variable in their opening times. You will find them on social media.

Sightseeing
A little history of the house.
"Joyseas" was originally located in the centre of Emu Park and was part of the original Railway buildings. She is over well 120 years old in her core structure.
The house was a simple timber workers cottage used for staff quarters. It was moved to the present location and given a 70s beach house vibe in the mid 70s. Located on the block "sideways" her front verandah become the new entry, the original roofline altered to the quintessential angled beach roofline, which is now used in modern builds to replicate that design style.
In fact, looking around Emu Park you will see many new builds adopting this design feature to continue that beach house aesthetic. The new Art gallery and the new Surf Life Savers renovations being just two nearby.
In it's present location we are the third owners.
Why is it called Joyseas now? Quite simple really my Aunty Joyce (Joycie) owned the house before we purchased it. We could not stop referring to it as Joycie's house, so it become Joyseas! We hope it brings you Joy by the Sea!
When you enter you will see a pic on the wall of small child enjoying a holiday in Joyseas in the early 70s - that child is Kerrilyn!
My family rented the house from the first owner when I was just a little girl. My love of this place and beach holidays is deep as I then went on to spend almost every school holidays playing with my cousins at this house as my parents owned a beach house just around the corner.
Our authentic beach shack however means you will find gaps in the floorboards and occasional dust from the ceilings, not to mention sands from the dunes across the road, but that all adds to the beach house vibes.
You will notice the house above us has some decorative finials, that house is actually the old Emu Park Railway Station also with 70s renovation when it was relocated to that block. If you'd like to see and know more about the history of Emu Park the Museum is located an easy stroll away from the House and is a great place to learn lots about the township.
