What to Expect From an Over-50s Lifestyle Resort
Starting any new chapter can feel a little daunting — but at Solana Lifestyle Resorts, we’re here to help make the transition smooth, exciting, and something to truly look forward to. Whether you're considering a move now or planning ahead, here's what you can expect from life in an over-50s lifestyle resort — and why it might just be your best chapter yet.
Independent Living With More Ease
At an over-50s lifestyle resort, you’re not giving up your independence—you’re gaining more time to enjoy it. Every home is free-standing, with quality finishes, private outdoor space, and all the comforts you’d expect in a modern home. You live entirely on your own terms, with the added peace of mind that comes from having like-minded neighbours nearby.
There are no entry or exit fees, and no stamp duty when you buy in. You own your home and lease the land, which keeps costs more manageable and gives you the freedom to retain any capital gain if you choose to sell later.
This is your home—just easier to maintain, easier to enjoy, and designed to support the lifestyle you’ve worked for.
Use the Facilities as Little or as Much as You Like
Think of a lifestyle resort as a neighbourhood with resort-style perks. At Solana Lifestyle Resorts, every location features a signature Livewell Centre—the heart of the community, where you’ll find everything from a heated pool, gym and tennis court, to a cinema, craft room, café, and community garden
Prefer a day of unwinding? You can enjoy a quiet morning on your back patio, or pop down to the library or BBQ terrace for a casual chat. Whether you’re into socialising, staying active, or just relaxing in peace, there’s something for every pace of life.
No Maintenance, No Worries
Remember all those weekends spent mowing lawns, cleaning pools, and fixing fences? You can leave that behind. At Solana, the gardens and common areas are maintained for you, and your home is designed with low-maintenance living in mind—from energy-efficient appliances to modern finishes and solar panels.
This frees up your time for what really matters: travelling, hobbies, socialising, or simply taking it easy.
A Community That Feels Like Family
One of the most enriching parts of resort life is the people. At Solana, you’re surrounded by like-minded neighbours who value community, connection, and good conversation. It’s easy to make new friends, join in social events, and feel part of something special.
Downsizing Without Compromise
Downsizing doesn’t mean giving up what you love—it means choosing the parts of life that matter most. Solana homes are bright, modern, and cleverly laid out, with room for guests, pets, hobbies, and even caravans or boats if you’re keen to hit the road.
There’s a real sense of flexibility here. You’ll find a range of home designs and price points, so you can pick a layout and budget that suits your lifestyle.
Why Solana Feels Different
Solana is family-owned, and you can feel the difference that makes. There’s a genuine warmth in the way the resorts are designed—from the friendly layout of homes to the Livewell Centres that bring people together naturally. Solana’s onsite team, Stockwell Living, keeps everything running smoothly, so you can simply enjoy life.
Whether you’re still working, winding down or somewhere in between, Solana offers something real: a place to feel at home, be yourself, and create the kind of legacy you want to leave behind.
At Solana, life is simpler, and more connected—just the way it should be.
