Why Grandkids Love Visiting Solana Lifestyle Resorts
One of the biggest questions many people ask when considering a move to an over-50s community is simple:
“What about the grandkids?”
After all, family gatherings, school holiday visits and weekend sleepovers are often some of life’s most treasured moments. The good news is that moving to Solana doesn’t mean leaving those moments behind. In many ways, it creates even more opportunities to enjoy them.
A Home That Still Brings Everyone Together
For many people, the family home has always been the place where birthdays are celebrated, stories are shared and grandchildren come to visit.
At Solana Lifestyle Resorts, that doesn’t have to change.
The homes are designed for comfortable everyday living, while still providing space to welcome family and friends. Open-plan living areas, outdoor entertaining spaces and practical layouts make it easy to host visitors without feeling crowded.
It’s a chance to simplify your lifestyle without giving up the things that matter most.
More Than Just a Place to Stay
When the grandkids visit, there’s usually one important question:
“What are we going to do today?”
At Solana, there’s often no need to leave the resort to find something fun.
The Livewell Centre sits at the heart of the community and offers spaces where residents and their families can spend time together. That might mean a swim in the pool, a game of tennis or pickleball, a visit to the library, a movie in the cinema room, lawn bowls, table games or simply enjoying an afternoon together in the shared community spaces.
It’s these simple moments that often become the most memorable.
School Holidays Made Easy
One of the joys of having grandkids visit is being able to spend quality time together without a packed schedule.
At Solana, school holiday visits can be as active or relaxed as you like.
You might start the morning with a walk, spend the afternoon by the pool, teach the grandkids a new game, share lunch together or simply sit outside and enjoy a chat. With everything close by, there’s more time to focus on being together.
And because many Solana communities are located in sought-after Queensland coastal destinations, there are beaches, parks, cafés and local attractions nearby to explore as well. Solana’s hand-picked locations are chosen for their lifestyle benefits, convenience and access to local amenities.
No Extra Charges for Visitors
One thing that surprises many people is that family and friends are welcome to visit at Solana.
Unlike some communities, Solana does not charge additional fees for guests staying with residents. Family members can visit, enjoy the facilities and spend time together without worrying about extra visitor costs.
That means more opportunities for sleepovers, holiday visits and those weekends when the grandkids decide they'd like a little more time with Nan and Pop — before being returned to their parents, slightly more spoiled than they arrived.
Creating New Family Traditions
Many people worry that downsizing means losing the place where family gathers.
In reality, many residents discover the opposite.
With less time spent maintaining a large property and more time available for the people they care about, they often find themselves creating new traditions and enjoying more meaningful moments together.
Whether it’s annual holiday visits, Sunday lunches, swimming with the grandkids or simply sharing stories over afternoon tea, Solana provides a setting where those connections can continue to grow.
A Lifestyle the Whole Family Can Enjoy
Life at Solana is about more than just having a beautiful home. It’s about creating a place where family feels welcome, where connections happen naturally and where every visit becomes another memory worth keeping.
Because while your next chapter may look different, the people who matter most can still be a big part of it.
