So if you haven't heard LifestyleCommunities the company that owns our village we live in are now are building this new village in Leopold near Geelong. As well as being independent resort living for over 50s with stunning homes and super amenities including pool, gym, clubrooms, putting green with amazing water views across Corio Bay to the You Yangs. They have gone in a different direction this time calling this new build Club Lifestyle and now they are including all these Perks that can be used by any home owner no matter what Lifestyle community they live in. One of the Perks is this 2berth Windsor Daintree motorhome a great little unit that drives like a ripper. No need to have a special licence. It comes setup with everything including linen, utensils outdoor chairs and tables everything we need for our short getaway and it is Free, if your a homeowner. We do have to pay a cleaning fee at the end of our trip and petrol food and alcohol of course but it is still a great opportunity to have this experience for a small cost of $250 (cleaning fee) 5nights max stay. I am raving about this in particular as we have it booked and we are now down the Great Ocean Road in this fabulous RV. This Perk is on top of the others we can book... there is the 5m fishing boat, 12 seater bus, electric car and bikes. Also we are able to stay in short stay units that are truely 5star and van sites now at Leopold and soon to be Philip Island communities for a small fee or cleaning fee. We have been living in the Ocean Grove Lifestyle since it opened and 5 years on the Perks keep coming. We now live our best life in a wonderful community. It has been a the best choice we have ever made.

Just love the move I made into St Leonard’s Lifestyle. I have been here 3 months now and so happy with the lovely residents who are so kind and supportive and have welcomed me into this lovely community. Would highly recommend. Beautiful facilities it’s like a resort here and so many activities if you want to get involved or relax by the pool. Exciting to have a beautiful new home with no maintenance and gardening to do.
Would now like for the Southern boundary to be completed with landscaping and walking track then landscaping before stage 2 is started. Would love to see a beautiful
View at the moment my view is dead trees.
Could u please let me know when this will go ahead.

We dislike that Lifestyle Communities do not communicate well with Todd Devine Homes and the homeowners. We dislike that it took us 10 months before we had a tree planted and the gardens themselves were an absolute disgrace. APL promised regular meetings with the homeowners, but this has never eventuated. We are also still waiting for Lifestyle to re-stain our front deck which was highlighted at our 3 monthly review. Our community though on the other hand is a mix of great friendly people. We absolutely love our Lifestyle community, and we love living here.

Whatever I have experienced since moving to Lifestyle
has been a pleasure,this is mainly due to the community that live here.
The variety of activities and social events have succeeded in adding to the friendliness and feeling of being welcome.

After moving into our new home there were a few minor problems and one larger one which my wife Yvonne mentioned in her review which were all rectified. Only one experience left a bitter taste in my mouth. We have a problem with the downpipe outside our bedroom window .On cold nights with heavy dew or light rain we are kept awake with the noise of water dropping down the pipe. I reported the problem to a company representative and said that this was a bad design and he agreed with me and said that it has been changed with newer houses, but as it complies with building regulations the company is cleared of any responsibility to fix it . If we wanted it fixed we will have to make the necessary arrangements and pay for it .That attitude still makes me angry today .Otherwise we are very happy to have made the move to Lifestyle St Leonards

Length of time taken to rectify house issues that should never have occurred if good Quality Control System in place. Were never warned of the amount of inconvenience when we moved in as located next to Building site - Mud, Dust , Noise etc. Strong feeling that focus on getting Homeowners into house at any cost , then they take second or even third place to building and filling new homes, plus building show homes .Very poor communications all round from Lifestyle , as another unhappy home owner said recently to me "From 0 to 10 on communications Lifestyle score 0.

The saga re the problem with our garage door is the ONLY negative vibe that my husband and I have re moving into Lifestyle St Leonards. We are both so happy to be part of this community - Great ambience throughout, wonderful 'fellow home owners' and very friendly management and staff!!! We love all the really good amenities at our disposal! We both would like to recommend this 'lifestyle' to all wanting to downsize!

I bought into StLeonards before a sod had been turned knowing it to be a small seaside community which I wanted but now there is another one being constructed next door and we are being asked to share facilities which I am not in favour of. There has been planter boxes placed between the bowls and croquet rinks taking up valuable seating areas which have never been planted out. Complete waste of money. There has been a TV installed in the activity room which has never been switched on. A complete waste of money. These are just some things that I have noticed, there could be a lot more and especially when our fees were increased by a whopping 6.6%.

Very difficult to obtain a response to a request for attention to our heating system.
I made an appointment with the manufacturer check out our system.
Also I raised an issue with management about a drain from the cool air system that runs onto a paved area.
So far there has been no response.

The facilities are ALL FIRST CLASS, RECIDENTS ALL HAPPY AND WELCOMING. OUR NEW HOME IS JUST WONDERFUL.
Not sure I can add much more, early days yet, BUT so far so good. All we could have hoped for

From the very first meeting we had with Mel Wright at Deanside we were impressed with the level of organisation, transparency, just tell it like it is approach, willingness to adapt to all possibilities and understanding to what a life changing experience downsizing can be. Add to that the quality, cleanliness, and general amenities and feeling of the buildings and friendly"vibe" of the place. From that first meeting to our eventual moving into Deanside we experienced nothing but friendliness, efficiency, willingness to adapt to our particular circumstances and assistance to help our move go as smoothly at possible. The extra little surprises on moving in day made it so special and as we gradually join into all Deanside has to offer homeowners, we are loving it.

Love living at Lifestyle Wollert. Just passed our first year of moving in and we are very happy we made the decision.

We put our deposit on our home in January 2022. We were excited to be moving into a Lifestyle community and enjoying our later years relaxing and making new friends, trouble free. We were told we would be moving into our home in December 2022 and we were excited. We sold our home and rented accomodation in anticipation. Now it is July 2023 and we are still waiting for our home to be finalised (3 monthly items to be resolved) We are still do waiting patiently for a number of the attractions that bought us to Meridian e.g solar power 50% less power bills, mens shed, library, car wash etc.
We did not expect to be moving into a building site. our home is opposite the centre so there has been a lot of upheaval, noise, dust, inconvenience - not what we were expecting from your advertising advertising. We are not unreasonable people and understand that delays can happen (and did happen) but there is no communication here and if someone had just knocked on our door or phoned us to acknowledge that there are issues it would have been greatly appreciated and made us feel as though we were not being ignored. The initial settling in was awful Opticom was a real issue and no one wanted to help we were not alone with this issue and it is hard to believe that after so many residents were already in the village enjoying wi-fi reception no one could have found an answer for us. We do think that when everything settles down and is completed this village will be a great place to live, but this part of the village has been rushed and that is obvious in so many ways, tiles falling off the pool and discolouration in the spa, dressing rooms out of order, landscaping below expectations in some areas (not all). Homes with insulation problems, paint issues, poor workmanship real no care attitude. Lack of communication and acknowledgement of the difficulty we have had to accept is our biggest concern.

Cannot complain about anything at the moment. The staff have been very helpful with everything. People hear have been very friendly

There are numerous activities for homeowners, together with social events and the occasional information sessions which make for lots of variety. The managers are very helpful and cheerful and are keen to be of assistance. The homeowners love it at Lifestyle St Leonards.

Friendly staff at all levels to assist you and magnificent facilities.

What we like is the community is very friendly & there is lots of things to get involved in if you want to also it is a safe environment to live.

We moved into Lifestyle Bellerine 3 months ago & we couldn’t be happier. We love our house, our community & our neighbours.
All the staff are amazing!
Thank you Lifestyle for making our move so easy & positive.
No regrets!
