Live the life of luxury
The great Australian lifestyle
The inspiration for National Lifestyle Villages communities came from the realisation that people who regularly holiday in parks and resorts experience reduced stress, a general feeling of well-being, and a closer feeling of community via a stronger connection to people. National Lifestyle Villages wanted to harness this dual sense of holiday and community to provide a similar lifestyle experience every day of the year.
Our communities showcase resort-style facilities that are professionally maintained and set in attractive natural landscapes. Whether swimming in the heated pool, relaxing in the spa or sauna, playing tennis, squash or bowls, or working in the hobby workshop – there is always something to do.
The communal Clubhouse acts as a welcoming social hub where you can learn a new dance step, enjoy dinner and a drink with friends, or find a quiet space for reading, surfing the web or enjoying crafts with friends.
For leisure activities outside the Village that include concerts, inter-Village sport competitions and regular shopping trips, there is a dedicated Village Bus available that is managed by the Village Social Club.

I have been the coordinator of the Grubby Gardeners at Bridgewater Lifestyle Village for the past five years. I love to garden and in particular, growing vegetables. To me this provides food for the soul, relaxation and the opportunity to be involved with like-minded Lifestylers out in the open air and lovely surroundings with lots of laughter and friendship.
My first involvement in the village’s gardening group was in the middle of 2007 after moving to the village in October 2006. My husband had gone back to full-time work and with time on my hands and
a lifetime interest in gardening and food it was inevitable that I became involved in what was then just a small group that had been allocated a plot on the back fence of the village in which to grow vegetables.
Unfortunately over the next couple of years, and as the village began to grow, we were forced to shift a couple of times before ultimately ending up pretty much back where we began. This all took its toll on the output from the garden but in early 2010 we were settled at last and are now able to pay our way so to speak.

No, I am not stuttering – just reflecting on how many times a person can really retire from ones full-time working career. For me, the latter was a series of interesting experiences working on, or helping to establish, remote African diamond mines. In 1981 I was recruited out of Namibia to a more civilised experience helping to develop the Argyle Diamond Mine in the Kimberley Region of Western Australia.
At age fifty-five I pulled the pin on the diamond mining and processing game and took early retirement from the Argyle Project when they decided to shift the entire staff onto a FIFO (Fly in/Fly out) operation based out of Perth. Who wants to live in Perth when you are enjoying the wonderful Kimberley life style?
We already had a plan for Retirement (Revision.1) in place and had bought a small 150 acre property on the Ord Irrigation Scheme up in Kununurra. My wife Jean had had the Job of developing this run-down property over the five years prior to my leaving the mines. The idea was that we would grow a few acres of bananas to provide a little extra income but also give us sufficient time to enjoy the wilds of the north-east Kimberley. Alas, this early banana planting grew to over fifteen acres. By this time we were far from our envisioned ‘life of leisure’ in retirement as we were employing up to six people and working flat out!
