Hear Why Downsizers Love Lifestyle Communities…

The development here at Bellarine is astonishing. All the amenities that have been completed or under construction are of such a high standard. I love my home and am gradually having things completed that have been on the lifestyle 'to do' list for awhile. I think the village layout, size of houses and the wide roads are fantastic. Lifestyle Bellarine is unique. We have a fabulous village with many additional amenities and opportunities. The add ons to our village, such as the beach pavilion, swimming centre in the marina, 25 metre pool, announced since I purchased my home have been incredible, and we continue to be told of new additions. I feel very blessed to live here. I have wonderful neighbours and friends throughout the village. Karen, Bryan and all the staff are friendly and endeavour to help when and where they can. I am very attached to our resident alpacas and sheep. I am proud of Lifestyle Bellarine and find that my visitors, without exception, are blown away by the unique experience being created for us all.

What a difference living in a Lifestyle Village has made. At every turn from my initial contact to being a resident, I have felt valued, respected and cared for. The facilities are excellent, and the houses are beautiful and fitted out with all the quality fittings and fixtures you could wish for. However it is the people that make one of the biggest differences. I feel surrounded by warmth, like minded people and happiness. Everywhere you go you are greeted by friendly smiles or greetings which is so uplifting, especially for someone like me who lives alone. Finally, the security. I feel protected, calm and most of all, totally safe, a commodity very rare in todays society.

You've got a gym, fishing boat, cinema, library, computers – you’ve got everything. We didn’t have all that at home – we had to go looking for it! It’s an amazing lifestyle. We’re really happy here.

My parents absolutely love it! It’s given them a new lease on life, they have made a lot of new friends, and enjoy the activities and social life on offer. I would thoroughly recommend this to anyone over 50.

The average age of a person moving into our communities is 67 years old. Lifestyle Communities attracts a younger, active, independent homeowner who wants to downsize and enjoy a new phase of their life.

What is the Resort Fee*?

Enjoy an enhanced living experience that provides unparalleled comfort and convenience. Our Resort Fee encompasses all operational expenses and maintenance needs of our communities, ensuring an enhanced and hassle-free living experience. Eligible homeowners can leverage the Federal Government’s Rent Assistance program to alleviate a portion of these costs.

High-speed Internet and Wi-Fi connectivity within the Clubhouse.
Dedicated on-site Lifestyle Managers for personalised assistance.

What is the Deferred Management Fee (DMF)

The Deferred Management Fee (DMF) covers the cost of improving and contemporising your community over time. As a long-term operator, Lifestyle communities has a 30-year refurbishment plan in place for every community. The DMF allows us to keep the cost of purchasing a home as low as possible and ensures we have a vested interest in growing the value of your property. The DMF is only payable when you sell your home. We're in it for the long haul.

The outcomes of the DMF, proven over time, include:

  • It supports affordability by deferring some costs typically payable upfront, until later, when you choose to sell your home
  • The ability to enjoy equity free up when you purchase
  • Average capital growth of 9.5% pa over the last 10 years, representing a strong financial return
  • A mutual interest in driving capital growth of your home
Are my pets welcome at Lifestyle Communities?

Absolutely! Pets are part of your family and are very welcome. Each Clubhouse has ‘doggy parking’ for your pooch so you can enjoy the 5-star resort facilities while your furry friend is close by. Some communities even have dedicated dog washes and dedicated dog parks.

Do You Offer Rentals or Mortgages?

No, we don't offer rentals or mortgages - you must purchase the home outright.
