In recent years, the perspective on retirement and downsizing has shifted significantly. It's evolved beyond just moving to a smaller space; it's about upgrading your lifestyle, fostering a sense of community, and ensuring peace of mind.

As 2023 draws to a close, we reflect on the year for Solana Lifestyle Resorts, marking our expansion across four spectacular locations along the Queensland Coast.

Retirement planning is critical, especially for individuals in the trade and manual labour professions. Often physically demanding, these careers may lead to earlier retirement due to the toll on one's health and well-being. For those in such occupations, it's important to start exploring retirement options sooner than typically advised, ensuring a secure and comfortable future.

Great news for retirees looking to transition into a comfortable retirement with Solana Lifestyle Resorts! With the passage of the Social Services and Other Legislation Amendment (Incentivising Pensioners to Downsize) Act 2022, earlier this year here is how these legislative changes can make your dream of living at Solana more accessible. Let's explore how this legislation can benefit you.

As we transition into our golden years, the thought of downsizing often intertwines with aspirations of elevating our lifestyle. At Solana Lifestyle Resorts, we've curated this very essence for those over 50. Shed the excesses of large, cumbersome properties and step into a community where shared resort-like facilities, camaraderie, and coastal beauty converge.

Queensland is the third most populous state in Australia and is home to stunning beaches, expansive rainforests, fantastic year-round weather and a relaxed pace of life.

The first step in planning your retirement is considering where you want to live. As a retiree, you are in a great position to explore new places and make the most of your freedom.

Mackay is located at the gateway of the Whitsundays region in Queensland on the east coast of Australia. With plenty to explore and enjoy, like beaches, national parks, restaurants, shopping and regular local events.

Australia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world, with beaches and cities, to vast countryside and rainforests - the places to visit and explore are endless. With Australia's expansive network of highways and outdoor culture, it is easy to get on the road with an RV, caravan or tent (or stay in a motel, hotel or resort if camping is not your thing) to see what's on offer in your backyard.

Hervey Bay is a coastal community on the Queensland coast, with golden beaches and a subtropical climate. It is best known for its proximity and access to World Heritage Site, K’gari (Fraser Island), and its incredible marine life, including resident dolphins, and the best humpback whale watching in the world.

While moving to a Solana Lifestyle Resort means less yard maintenance, it does not mean you have to give up your love of plants and gardening.

Indoor plants are a great option to transform your home into a more relaxing and inviting space. Not only do they look beautiful and add life to any room of the house, but they can also improve air quality, keep bugs away and provide flavour for your cooking. So, if you're ready to try adding some greenery into your home but aren't sure where to start, here's everything you need to know about choosing the right plants!

If you've decided to downsize, you may feel overwhelmed by parting with some of your belongings. In addition, you're likely to experience mixed feelings as you consider disposing of items that hold sentimental value or were purchased by someone who is no longer around. While these feelings are normal, it's important not to let them stop you from decluttering and getting excited for the next stage of your life. Getting rid of things can be an emotional experience that helps you gain clarity about what matters most in life.
