Summer is here! With a look into "shack life", a beautiful beach home, simple recipes and all your skincare essentials, the brand new January issue of SALIFE magazine is what you will want to read by the pool these holidays.

For the very first time in 2022, SALIFE will now publish 12 issues a year, beginning with this colourful, fun-filled, sun-drenched SALIFE January Summer Issue.

In South Australia, heading to the water is an annual summer pilgrimage. In this issue, we take a peek inside some of the most traditional holiday homes of all: the original “Blackie shackie” properties at Yorke Peninsula’s Black Point. Few of them remain, but the memories will last forever.

The feature home in this issue will be the envy of many – with spectacular sweeping views of Aldinga beach and a well-tended garden, this is a retreat where a busy family can slow down and reconnect.

Whether you’re fishing from the jetty or shopping at the local supermarket, summer is the season to put a fish on your dish. Natalie Homan has the perfect simple seafood recipes for those beachy days.

Green-thumbs will be familiar with many of the water-wise South African plants that have made South Australia their home. These tough, versatile species are very well suited to our soils and climate.

Also in this issue, we celebrate all the results of the first SALIFE Absolute Best Awards, which were announced at a gala evening at SkyCity on December 2. Congratulations to all the winners and finalists!
