It’s all taken care of for you
Even more affordable if you receive a pension
A huge benefit of our proven land lease model is that if you’re on a part or full pension, your Centrelink Rent Rebate will be deducted from your weekly rent. If you qualify for the rebate you will save up to 30-40% on your weekly fees.
A secure investment and a proven resales market
Like any other property, you have freedom to sell or will your home to someone else. The popularity of the National Lifestyle Villages model, combined with the increasing demand from Australia’s growing baby boomer population, means that if you buy an National Lifestyle Villages home there is a high likelihood you will have an increasing market of future buyers for your home.
However, before you proceed, we recommend you seek independent financial advice to ensure that purchasing one of our home and lifestyle packages suits you and your personal circumstances. As part of our sales process we will refer you to an independent financial expert to assist you in assessing the financial benefits compared to other options you may be considering.
Enquire NowNo stamp duty when buying and no selling fees when selling!
As part of your lease agreement, the service of reselling your home is provided for you, at no extra cost. Your home is yours, a will-able asset that you are free to sell whenever you please.
Over the last 15 years, resale values of National Lifestyle Villages homes have tracked similarly to normal real estate and National Lifestyle Villages home-owners have realised good returns on their investment.
With the growing ‘Baby Boomer’ population, Lifestyle Villages are gaining popularity and we anticipate that over the next 20 years, our Villages will continue to become an increasingly sought-after option. Though some of our communities are currently sold-out, you can buy an established home and lifestyle package where, as with traditional real estate, the usual laws of supply and demand apply.

Jacquie and Keith
When new Oyster Harbour Lifestyle Village Lifestylers, Jacquie and Keith Moreton took a leisurely drive through Albany while on holiday, they cruised down Elizabeth Street, liked the sound of Oyster Harbour, followed the directions and fell in love the minute they entered the front gates.
What drew you to Albany?
Keith is from Albany originally and he always wanted to come back after living in the UK for most of his life. I am from Melbourne so there was no convincing me of moving here. We were living in a large, late 1970s five bedroom home on an 800sqm block near Rockingham at the time, and the up-keep was just getting too much for us. You don’t want to be climbing ladders and cleaning gutters in your 60s.
Did the Perth summers influence your decision?
Absolutely. We just couldn’t handle it anymore, even though we had an air-conditioner. It doesn’t rain anywhere near as much as the weather reports say down here. It’s still warm and sunny and the skies are beautiful and clear. You really notice the lack of pollution because we are near the harbour and the sea which gives a lovely ambience.
And now, how is the new lifestyle working for you?
We love it. You’d have to drag me away screaming! When we retired Keith hadn’t been well. We started to miss contact with other people and began to feel a bit socially isolated. I tell you, we have been made so welcome here. We feel like we belong. Being able to bring our aging dog was also a big deciding factor for us. Leaving him behind would have been a huge wretch.
Keith says it’s like a movie roll every time we take the dog for a walk. That’s the lovely part about Oyster Harbour.
You mentioned you like being part of a growing community
We like the fact that we are the pioneers down here. We can go through the teething stages, add our voice and watch it grow like a teenager. If people want to be a part of that they should come down!
Financial benefits?
We like how the weekly rent covers a lot of things that we’d be putting money aside for every fortnight previously. Everything is here so we don’t need to go anywhere locally or pay membership fees.
