Retire in Geelong at a Lendlease Retirement Village

Independence, peace of mind and a sense of belonging are all lifestyle aspects residents can expect at a Lendlease Retirement Village and more.

Each of Lendlease’s over 55s retirement villages has its own unique personality and offers a variety of homes from apartments with services, to villas, units and standalone homes.

A great quality of life also comes down to community – proximity to neighbours and friends, support when it’s needed, and access to high quality amenities and facilities, all help make life more enjoyable.

Lendlease Retirement’s Geelong villages – Abervale and Tannoch Brae – offer prospective residents the chance to experience the best of Geelong.

Lendlease Retirement Living general manager (VIC) Steve Howarth said the villages suited many different people.

“Residents at our two Geelong villages come from all different types of backgrounds, including locals who know and love the Geelong area, Melbourne city-siders who are looking for a quieter way of life and people who have spent years living in the country now wanting a busier, more active lifestyle.

“The most common thing we hear from residents – across all our villages – is that they wished they’d made the decision to move earlier.”

At any Lendlease Retirement Village, it’s often found residents are the greatest advocates for the lifestyle that the village offers and their contentment
speaks volumes.

Tannoch Brae resident Brian Brylow, 69, is involved in many aspects of life at the village.

“I play bocce, I’m in the Book Club, I’ve joined the men’s shed and I volunteer as the MC for village events so that I can throw in a few jokes,” he said.

Mr Howarth said Abervale residents were particularly active, often taking a variety of trips throughout the year.

“Abervale residents organise trips all over the coast, interstate and across Victoria, while at Tannoch Brae, the village activities coordinator fills the weekly calendar with yoga, trivia, line dancing and day trips to the Bellarine Peninsula.

“Whichever village you decide on, you can be sure your quality of life will improve and being bored just isn’t an option.”
