With beloved TV drama Home and Away about to go on summer hiatus, actor Sarah Roberts has set her sights on pursuing her other creative outlets.
“Our family really loves art, dance and music,” she says. “We’re discussing how we can turn our garage into a studio. I’m also a DJ, I’d love to put some decks down so I can work on my music.”
Sarah, her husband, Home And Away actor, James Stewart, and his daughter Scout, 8, moved into their Coogee pad more than a year ago.
“As an actor who has worked in Hollywood and dreams of one day going back there again when the world is safe, I was drawn to the property because of a beautiful stained glass panel that reads ‘Hollywood’ above the entrance to our apartment.”

With two actors at home, Sarah says the duo have their own special nooks that they retreat to, to rehearse.
“Jimmy has taken over the front room to prepare for his scenes at work, we call it his man cave,” she says.
“I usually like to learn my scenes on our balcony. Our balcony has also become our sanctuary. There is something about being able to see the ocean that makes you forget about everything after a hard day at work.”

T2 fine bone china tea cups.
I love drinking tea and it excites me to drink it out of matching tea cups. I’m such a lady, I love having my girls over for a cup of tea and a bickie. I can usually tempt Zoe (Ventoura) over to my place with a hot matcha latte.
Tap Shoes.
I’ve tap danced since I was four years old and these babies saved me during lockdown. I got an old wooden table top with the legs removed, put it on our balcony during lockdown and I’d tap dance for hours on it.
Wedding Knot.
This ancient Celtic practice literally binds couples together in matrimony by tying knots of cloth around their hands. And so two become one. We even got all our guests to write words that they would use to describe us and had them embroidered on the ribbons ahead of time.

Frangipanni trees.
After our two miscarriages we planted a frangipani tree for each baby that we lost. It was a beautiful way to say goodbye and now I often like to sit between the two trees and meditate or just contemplate life.
The Five Minute Journal.
This journal allows me to elevate myself, to be happier and to improve my relationships. I’ve noticed I can shift my state of mind to one of optimism now. I can hone my ability to focus on the good in life. It has approachable and structured exercises that lead me down a path towards an enhanced version of the person I already am.
Beloved monkey.
My brother used to call my sister and I little monkeys so when I came across this monkey at Beaumont Hospital when my brother was going in for surgery on his brain I had to buy it for him to keep him company. After surgery and until he passed away he would sleep with it and it was like we were together even though we were oceans apart. This furry monkey used to annoy my sister-in-law in bed and now it annoys Jimmy! I can imagine Karl laughing at us all up in heaven.
Collection of books.
I love having books on display. It makes me think of that Oscar Wilde quote: ‘With freedom, books, flowers and the moon, who could not be happy?’
Quartz Geode.
Quartz is said to have a strong healing energy. The cave-like shape and large number of crystals is believed to amplify and diffuse energy into a space, allowing it to take effect gently over time.
Rachel Ruysch ‘Still Life With Flowers on a Marble Table Top’ artwork.
Jimmy and I went to the ‘Rembrandt and the Dutch Golden Age’ art exhibition as one of our first dates. He ended up buying me this art for my birthday. He’s great like that, we have lots of little treasures around the house so we can mark occasions.
