THE Atrium is a quaint and charming arcade where visitors will find everything they need from coffee to health care in one convenient location.
The Atrium is located on the corner of Sidoni Street and Poinciana Avenue among the hustle and bustle of Tewantin and is only a hop, skip and a jump from Doonella Lake.
Inside there is something for everyone with multiple health care professionals, fashion and beauty stores, a choice of great coffee hot spots and even an insurance broker.
Austwide Insurance Brokers is located on the top floor of The Atrium and its friendly and knowledgeable staff are on hand to help with all insurance needs.
The locally-owned business boasts a friendly and personal service covering all areas from public liability to business and professional insurance.
Austwide’s greatest source of new business is from referrals so the team goes to great lengths to ensure clients receive personal care, which in turn encourages their clients to tell their friends and family of the service they received at Austwide Noosa.
From the initial negotiation with the underwriters to securing the appropriate cover at the most competitive premium, Austwide’s service ethic involves having pride in the service it provides.
Downstairs there are two health care professionals including the backbone of the arcade, Noosa Life Chiropractic, where Dr Richard J Singer has more than 40 years of clinical experience across three countries.
Richard and his wife Debbie have worked as a team for more than 27 years and clients are bound to feel comfortable and relaxed as soon as they walk in the door.
Clients can also save time by filling in their forms online, in the comfort of their own home, prior to their first appointment and bringing them along.
Richard and Debbie are offering a $25 discount on the initial appointment if clients take advantage of this convenient opportunity, showing they understand the needs of their patients.
If visitors are looking to visit The Atrium for a more leisurely reason then they need look no further than the Sunshine Hospice Op Shop which gives a retail fix as well as good karma.
The locally run store raises funds for the Sunshine Hospice while offering a wide range of clothing, bric-a-brac and furniture.
Store manager Judy Shorland said customers often comment on the friendly service as well as the quality and variety of items for sale.
Visitors can drop off any good quality, unwanted items to the store while they browse through the racks of clothes and find hidden treasures among the bric-a-brac.
Sunshine Hospice Op Shop can also pick up any larger items. Just drop by the store to find out more.
There’s also plenty of pampering to be had at The Atrium with Surrender Dorothy offering top quality cuts at value for money prices.
The newest store on the block opened with a bang on Tuesday 12 April when owner Louise Turton dotted Tewatin’s high street with nine mannequin heads styled, cut and coloured offering a complimentary haircut for anyone who returned the heads.
Surrender Dorothy is one of the only local salons to offer a service which tailors a new style to match skin tone, face shape and lifestyle.
The friendly team will consider lifestyle, how much time clients have when getting ready in the morning and even their eye colour before discussing options for the new look.
Clients who drop in to the salon before 30 April will receive $30 off any colour service.
The Sunshine Coast Academy of Hairdressing is also crazy about hair.
The provider of vocational education and training delivers a high-quality program that meets the needs of all its clients whether they are an individual learner or employer.
Academy owner Angela Wilson has more than 29 years’ experience within the hair industry and more than 18 years’ experience as an educator.
The Sunshine Coast Academy of Hairdressing provides a classroom learning environment and ensures that each student has the opportunity to gain real-life experience within a professional salon.
Through a student placement, the trainee is able to demonstrate their knowledge and fulfil their practical industry-based skills under the watchful eye of a local and knowledgeable training provider.
The Atrium is the hidden gem of Tewantin with a wide variety of services and products available for every need.
There is also The Bake House and Next Chapter Cafe for a coffee fix, as well as Blue Ivy and John Bird Jeweller for fashion requirements, and Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology and Dusk till Dawn Sleep Centre for those specific needs.
