Gillespie said she loved sitting outside in her cabana, reading a book and admiring the view.
“I always love my morning cup of tea sitting on the balcony overlooking the water,” he said.
“That's pretty special.
“We love Normanville and it will always be a part of who we are.
“We're a little reluctant[to sell]because we love the place and the location, but for where we and our family are right now, we need to be in the city.”
Jeremy Parsons, director of Fleurieu Lifestyle Properties, which is marketing the home with Bonnie Willsmore, said it was the epitome of resort-style living.

“When you walk in, you're like, 'Wow.'
“It's a great spot.”
