Hear From Residents

We moved into the community three years ago after selling our family home. We were looking to downsize to a more manageable property. We like the security living in the community brings, we enjoy the many amenities and taking part in the social events.

I decided to move to Dune Rise in 2015 to downsize and enjoy a simpler lifestyle. I love living in the community and enjoy the comradery with the many friends I have made here.

We moved into the community in May 2017 as we wanted to downsize and liked the idea of a secure ‘lock up and go’ community. We love the location here at Maroochy Shores and of course the lifestyle. I was president of the homeowners committee, and I am now the vice president. We enjoy the social gatherings and a game of table tennis up at the multi-purpose room. The morning walks around our beautiful pond is always relaxing and greatly appreciated by our pup Charlie.

We have lived at Lake Macquarie for six months and really love the social aspect of community living. For us it is a much happier life as we enjoy the comradery and friendships created with other residents.

My wife and I have lived at Snappy Gums for about three years now, making the move from busy Illawarra to escape the hustle and bustle of suburbia and aid an early retirement. We have made some great friends and enjoy getting together at the many social events held by our social committee. My favourite would be happy hour, once a week! We would highly recommend a move to Snappy Gums.

We moved to the community three years ago from the Hunter Valley. We decided to downsize from our family home that had a lot of stairs and land to maintain. My husband and I enjoy walking every day and I have joined the singing group who meet every second Thursday.

We love everything about our life at Beachfront! We love our neighbours who are awesome, the beach, the fact it is dog friendly, and it being in our ideal location. Beachfront is what we had been dreaming of!

We enjoy the new friendships that we have made and the feeling of belonging in a great community and have never regretted the decision to move here.

I decided to move to Edgewater four years ago after I lost my husband as I wanted to feel part of a community. I am Vice President of the Social Club and have been for a few years now, this is my second year co-ordinating the spring fair which is very well known in the area. I join in with happy hour every week, attend all the events in the village and do the “meet and greet” of new people. I really enjoy the camaraderie and the fact that everyone looks after each other.

We have been living at Rosetta for four years now and really love it here. We are very active in community life, busier than ever! We have made some wonderful friends and very safe living here. It is an absolute pleasure to walk around the community, talk to friends and admire the beautiful gardens and walkways that people have made their own.

We have lived in the community for just under two years and enjoy the many great things about Cobb Haven. It is a great way of life where we enjoy the facilities such as a heated indoor swimming pool (that can be used all year round), BBQ areas, tennis court, and community centre. Everyone we meet are all here for the same reason, to enjoy life!

We have lived in the community for six months and enjoy the easy lifestyle and the community being close to main amenities. At the moment we enjoy playing tennis, swimming, gardening and going for walks along the beach with our new neighbours and friends and are looking forward to when the new community centre is finished.

I moved to the community in 2014 to be closer to my family and absolutely love living here! I have had the opportunity to make many friends whilst living here and I like to keep busy and active by taking part in the art activities and enjoy gardening.

We have lived in Snappy Gums for five years after deciding to make the move from Tasmania to be closer to family. We enjoy the community living with the swimming pool, community centre and being part of the resident and social committees. We attend the happy hour, are involved in the fishing club and enjoy the community bus trips. We keep ourselves busy!

We moved to the Sunrise community over a year and a half ago. The amenities are fantastic and we have made many friends through being involved in the social club.
