Meet your neighbours

Janet and Ralph Hogan are the people behind Botanica. 12 years ago, they abandoned their successful Sydney ad agency in search of their own seachange. Botanica is the fulfilment of that quest. "Villa Botanica ", their beautiful, sprawling tropical home, set in one of Queensland's most extensive private botanical gardens, is the first of several magnificent homes now being built within the estate. They welcome visits, and for those who actually want to experience waterfront living before committing to buy, there is also the option to rent one of their exclusive Bali style bungalows. Be warned though, their shared passion for their "magic place" is highly contagious.
