As the gateway to the Bellarine Peninsula, Leopold offers the best of both city and country lifestyles, and Pelican Shores Estate’s idyllic location on the bay makes it the perfect place to call home.
A secure community with gated access, Pelican Shores offers over-50s independent living with access to a wide range of fantastic facilities supported by friendly staff.
A unique waterfront boardwalk is just one feature that gives a serene, rural feeling to the estate while being only 10 minutes from Victoria’s second-largest city, Geelong and one hour from Melbourne.
Pelican Shores is also within a few minutes’ drive to Leopold’s Gateway Plaza, which also provides access to public transport and the region.
Residents Norma and John said moving to Pelican Shores was one of the best decisions they had ever made.
“Pelican Shores not only allowed us to free up extra cash but is just a beautiful place to live,” they said.
“Leaving for holidays is a breeze, nothing to worry about knowing your home is safe.
“We have stunning views and can walk our dogs in some of Victoria’s best surrounding countryside. The staff are friendly and helpful, just a great place to call home.”
Pelican Shores village manager Kimberley Keys said the frequent social events were weekly highlights for many of the residents.
“Every week there is a ladies afternoon tea on Monday, craft on Wednesday and happy hour on Friday,” she said.
“There are views of the bay from the upstairs community room and a big outdoor deck where residents often sit with a beer or a wine and enjoy the view.
“There’s a men’s shed, a pool and heated spa, a gym, billiards, darts, bowling green, and cards. The cinema is very impressive, too.
“The community is really friendly and very social for those who want to participate, with ongoing activities for our community to get to know each other like our Wednesday night darts.”
Ms Keys said the pet-friendly nature of Pelican Shores was also a drawcard, with many residents owning dogs and other animals.
Pelican Shores offers a range of homes at competitively low prices, with shared equity options, no exit fees and allowing residents to avoid stamp duty and council rates while retaining capital gains.
