The month prior, the Baywatch actor was spotted having lunch with Valladares at a beachside cafe in Australia. At the time, an insider told PEOPLE that Valladares met Efron in June in Australia when she worked at the Byron Bay General Store & Cafe.
"Zac met Ness earlier in the summer. They started hanging out in July and recently took a ski trip together," the insider said. "You can tell that they are having fun. She spends a lot of time at this house."
Efron has been "renting a house minutes from the beach," a source told PEOPLE in September, adding "he has been house-hunting" in Byron Bay and "it really seems he plans on staying in Australia permanently."
