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.

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!

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.
