Recreation lifestyle

Bannockburn Green is so much more than a place to live – it’s a community and a lifestyle.
Catering to the over 55s, the heart of the community is the large recreation room equipped with full kitchen, which is available for the use of all tenants and is the venue for the weekly morning tea, craft mornings and the annual Christmas Dinner in mid-December – hosted and prepared by the owners for the residents.
The residents’ birthdays are celebrated on the Horses Birthday in August, as pictured.
Add to this no water bills and all maintenance and gardening done, this leads to a very desirable lifestyle opportunity.
Recent newcomers Gail and Ken made the change just over a year ago and haven’t looked back.
“Everyone was so welcoming we both felt right at home from the first day,” Gail said.
“It also has a lovely outlook and no upkeep as it is all done for you and everything is close by being in the main street.”
Mel and Cath downsized from a larger home in 2016.
“It was a big move to downsize from a larger home to a unit, however all the hard work is now done and the future ahead looks a bit more relaxed,” Mel said.
Renting a retirement unit is a great way to free up funds to enable other lifestyle choices and most residents are eligible for Centrelink rent assistance.
And when the time comes to move on to the next level of supported living, there are no exit, refurbishment or depreciated value costs to be concerned with.
