IT'S ONLY months away now until residents at Bellarine Springs retirement community in Victoria can get to enjoy their brand new community centre.
Set to open in September, the venue will be the social hub of this over-55s village in Bellarine Springs - part of the Pinnacle Living group.
With a heated indoor swimming pool and spa, activity areas, a gym, meeting rooms, library and business area plus a modern lounge and men's shed, the state-of-the-art community centre overlooks the bowling green and tennis courts.
"We have designed it to ensure we capture the uninterrupted views across the bay to Geelong and the You Yangs," said Pinnacle Living CEO Geoffrey Reeve.
"It will be a magnificent place to socialise with friends."
Located in Drysdale on the Bellarine Peninsula, 20 minutes from Geelong, the retirement community is well-situated for active seniors who like to get out and about.
"With a home so close to the city and the bay, you can enjoy the best of both worlds and discover new experiences with golf courses, wineries, cafes and water views all around you," said Mr Reeve.
Bellarine Springs is an independent retirement village for over 55s, ultimately offering 194 homes on 24 acres of gardens and parkland which opened in 2015.
"The village landscape is designed with space and privacy in mind, so residents can relax and enjoy the vistas without the burden of maintaining a full-size family home," said Mr Reeve.
He said Bellarine Springs is for for independently capable people over 55 or retirees. "We have many residents who work casual or part time, often on a volunteer basis. Our residents live in a community of like minded people who look for an easy, relaxing lifestyle that's full of variety, warm friendships and peace of mind."
All homes are architect-designed with a choice of exterior and interior finishes so each one has a unique character.
Display homes are open for viewing every day. The village is owned by Pinnacle Living - a Melbourne based, family-owned company run by a team of property design, development and management experts.
In 2004 Pinnacle opened the Tudor Village in Lilydale, followed by Yarrbat Place in Balwyn in 2008.
