Okay, real talk?

We’ve all asked “What’s happening this weekend?”, “Where’s the good food?”, or “Why didn’t I know about that market before it happened?”

We felt it too. That scroll fatigue. That sense that something magical was happening somewhere nearby – but we just weren’t in the loop.

Well, not anymore.

Food & Fun Digi Mag has officially landed, and it’s about to tie everything together in the most delicious, delightful, hyper-local way possible.

From mouthwatering food spots to unexpected adventures, this mag isn’t just showing you what’s happening – it’s reminding you why you love where you live.

🎯 What Are We Actually Doing?

We’re blending the best of:

🍲 Local food discoveries (that go way beyond the usual takeout)

🎉 Community events you’ll actually want to go to

😍 Feel-good stories that reconnect you to your town

💬 Hang out in our Food and Fun Facebook community group – now 17,000+ strong! 

(sister group to Hibiscus Coast Seconds HCS )

This mag is built on your posts, your places, and your people – so every issue feels like home.

🧩 Problems? We Know Them.

Solutions? We’re Printing Them (Digitally)

We’ve seen the gaps:

Local businesses struggling to be seen

Events happening with zero turnout

Community stories left untold

Visitors missing the real flavour of the coast

Locals saying, “There’s nothing to do” – when there’s actually too much, if only they knew where to look

Food & Fun Digi Mag is stepping in as the digital (and magical 😉) glue that brings it all together.
Where curiosity meets connection.

💨 Powered by Passion. Sponsored by Community Champions.

This launch is proudly backed by Comfort Cool Air Conditioning – a top-tier local business that’s not only keeping things literally cool but is also a massive cornerstone of community support along the South Coast. Under the leadership of Stephen Herbst, Comfort Cool has been instrumental in numerous local initiatives, including Tidy Towns Shelly to Margate to preserve our beautiful coastline .

Stephen’s commitment to the community goes beyond business, he embodies the spirit of local collaboration and upliftment.
