Life in a retirement village

Facilities

Facilities

Retirement villages can offer a variety of exciting facilities, events, and activities to help you stay connected and active. A restaurant dinner with friends? A spot of gardening? A stroll in beautiful surrounds? Enjoy a social lifestyle with your newfound community.

Here are some examples of the facilities you might find in a retirement village.

Community centres

Community centres are a hub for the whole neighbourhood to connect and enjoy a calendar of social activities and events. These can be a great space for residents’ art or hobby clubs. Or, you might visit the centre to play board games with your neighbours or team up for a lively night of trivia.

Lifestyle facilities - pool, BBQ areas, lawn bowls and more

Larger villages can often offer incredible lifestyle facilities. Some villages might feature swimming pools and spas, BBQ areas, lawn bowls, tennis courts, gyms, worksheds, community gardens, movie theatres, libraries and hair salons for visiting hairdressers.

Whether you're trying to keep active or just want to spend your days relaxing, there is often something for everyone.

Restaurant and dining services

Some villages offer the convenience of a restaurant within the village, right on your doorstep.

Enjoy great company and the shared experience of good food in vibrant village restaurants and dining rooms. Some villages may also offer take away options. Meals are often prepared by chefs and highly skilled staff, with menus designed to meet dietary needs.

Parking - cars, boats, caravans

Just because you're downsizing doesn't mean you have to give up on the lifestyle you love. Some villages offer parking spaces for a variety of vehicles. You won't have to give up road trips or fishing days - bring your cars, caravans or boats into retirement with you. Check with your village about what kinds of parking spaces are available, or what the nearby storage options are.

Transport

Some retirement villages have their own mini-buses, with a roster for outings like social trips and shopping days. Villages can also be located close to public transport services, including public buses, to make it easy for residents to run errands, attend medical appointments or enjoy days out with friends.
