Your Local, Moana: A Chat with Sean Muxlow

A coastal gem in Adelaide’s south, Moana offers expansive sandy beaches, a laid-back lifestyle, and a strong sense of community. We sat down with Sean Muxlow, a leading sales consultant, to uncover the secrets that make Moana a sought-after South Australian locale.

What advice do you have for prospective property buyers in Moana?

Be confident with your offer. Vendors often gravitate towards those who start off with a strong offer. Make sure you have everything in order—especially your finances—before you begin. This will give you a great head start and show sellers that you’re serious.

What tips would you give homeowners in Moana when preparing to sell their coastal properties?

Always present the very best version of your property that you can. There’s often hidden value in every property, and it’s important to tap into that. Engage with an agent early on, even before you’re ready to sell, to get advice and tips on how to maximise your property’s potential.

Are there any overlooked neighbourhoods or properties in Moana that you believe deserve more attention?

Absolutely. The Old Survey area and Moana South have large allotments, which are a big hit with families looking for space to spread out. These areas also present excellent opportunities for investors looking to capitalise on the growing demand.

What’s the real estate scene looking like in Moana this year? Any interesting trends?

Moana has always performed well and continues to do so. It’s a tightly held market, and with the new Seaside Estate, we’ve seen property prices in Moana outperform many neighbouring suburbs. The demand for coastal living is as strong as ever.

Any hidden gems in Moana you think people should check out?

The Moana drive-on beach is always a hit with families. It’s got wonderful amenities like the Duke Café at the surf club and Deep Blue Café, along with plenty of public parking. The soft white sand will keep you coming back for years.

How do you see the real estate market in Moana performing over the next five years?

Although Moana has seen incredible growth over the past few years, I believe there’s still considerable growth to come. Coastal suburbs like Moana are always in demand, and I see this trend continuing well into the future.

What motivates you in your real estate career in the area?

Living and working in Moana gives me a real connection to our community. I strive to deliver the best outcomes for my clients, and I get a great sense of fulfilment when I walk around the neighbourhood and see the positive impact I’ve had on people’s lives.

What’s the best place to grab a bite in Moana?

You can’t go wrong with a pie or pasty from Bradley Bakery. For a sit-down lunch or dinner with a beachside view, Deep Blue Café is a fantastic choice. And if you’re in the mood for Italian, Moana Pizzeria has some of the best pizzas around.

Anything else you’d like to highlight or include?

Moana is perfectly positioned—just 45 minutes from the CBD, 10 minutes to the McLaren Vale wine region, and if you’re into surfing, you’re only 45 minutes from Port Elliot and Middleton Beach. It’s an ideal spot for those who want a balance of beachside living with convenient access to other attractions.

From its wide sandy beaches to its welcoming community, Moana embodies the perfect balance of seaside serenity and modern living. Whether you’re seeking a coastal retreat or exploring vibrant local spots, Moana stands out as one of Adelaide’s most cherished coastal destinations.
