Exceed the Government’s Senior Exercise Guidelines at the Best Over 50s Lifestyle Resort in Arundel

by

When we decided to build an over 50s lifestyle resort in Arundel, we decided we would create the kind of environment that we would be proud and happy to live in. We chose the concepts of friendship, fun and fitness because we know that all three provide a longer, happier, healthier life, according to numerous studies and statistics.

Australian Government Fitness Recommendations for Seniors

The Government recommendations for seniors contain a surprising amount of activity: at least two and a half hours of moderate intensity aerobic activity, an hour and 15 minutes of vigorous intensity aerobic activity and two sessions of muscle-strengthening per week.

Moderate intensity aerobic activities include: fast walking, water aerobics, line and ballroom dancing, cycling on fairly level ground and playing doubles tennis. Vigorous intensity aerobic training includes: “aerobics,” running, fast swimming, fast cycling, cycling in a hilly environment, singles tennis and energetic dancing.

Active Adult Living at Seachange Arundel

At Seachange Arundel, you will find an entire community of active seniors. The resort is designed for you to walk, run or cycle to go wherever you need to go. At our 5-Star Country Club, the centrepiece of Seachange Arundel, you can swim and play tennis. We also have a dining room with a dance floor and performance stage.

Most of all, though, it all comes back to the people here. Seachange Arundel is the friendliest retirement resort on the Gold Coast. When you move here, you are welcomed by an entire community of people like you: experienced, friendly and seeking an active lifestyle. In no time, you will find that you can spend the entire day just walking and talking to friends if you want.

Numerous studies and data have proven that people who exercise and have social contact on a daily basis live longer, have more energy and take less trips to the doctor.

Life Begins at 50 in this Arundel Retirement Lifestyle Resort

by

Seachange Arundel can be classified as many things: retirement lifestyle village is one of them. But really, Seachange Arundel is more than just an over 50s lifestyle resort. We offer an active lifestyle based on friendship, fun and fitness. And you don’t even have to be retired yet to move here and enjoy the active lifestyle.

Life Starts At 50 in Retirement Lifestyle Resort

If your children have “left the nest,” you may find you don’t really feel the need to be tied down by a huge home. What was once necessary for raising children may now seem like a lot of unnecessary maintenance. It can be a lot of hard work to maintain space that you no longer need, especially if you have a large backyard or garden.

When you look around your neighbourhood, you may notice that a lot of people your age have gradually moved away and were replaced by younger families. They are nice people, but you don’t have as much in common with them as you do with people of your generation.

You may or may not be retired, but you may find yourself wishing you could live someplace where you spend more time doing what you want and less time keeping up a yard and home that are no longer as relevant to you as they used to be.

If this sounds like you, it may be time for a seachange. And what better place than Seachange Arundel? At Seachange Arundel, you will live a vibrant lifestyle that allows you the benefit of living in a world class resort and the independence of being a resident, but without the maintenance and hard work.

Best Retirement Village on the Gold Coast?

At Seachange Arundel, we don’t just say “friendship, fun and fitness.” We live and breathe those principles every day. When you look around, you will see a lot of friendly, like-minded people waiting to welcome you into their community. We make it easy and natural to build activity and social engagement into every day of your life.

Why 2016 Will Be Even Better than 2015 at Seachange Arundel

by

The most popular active adult community in Queensland just keeps getting better and better and the main reason is you.

2015 was a great year at Seachange Arundel. We would like to thank all of our residents, especially those who came on board in 2015, for making it such a great year. Each year, we keep growing, adding more residents and have become the best active adult community in Queensland, if the feedback we get from a growing legion of happy, active residents is any indication.

Here are some of the reasons we feel 2016 will be our best year ever.

The ‘$25,000 Seachange Moment Refer a Friend’ Program

Though the program began in 2015, it is due to run until 31 March 2016. One lucky person is going to win an 11 day APT Kimberley Coast cruise for two. The cruise is valued at $25,000. All you have to do is refer a friend to attend or visit one of our resorts prior to the 31 March 2016 and both you and your friend will be entered in the draw.

The trip will depart Brisbane 28th August 2016 and return 9th September 2016. The winners will be transferred from Seachange to the Brisbane Airport, where they will board a Qantas economy flight to Darwin. Once in Darwin, they will be transferred to a hotel in Darwin for a one night accommodation in a Doubletree Hotel by Hilton or a similar property. The room will include breakfast.

The winners will then be transferred to the MS Caledonian Sky for an 11 day Darwin to Broome Kimberley cruise. Upon reaching Broome, they will be transferred to a hotel for another one night accommodation. They will then be transferred to the Broome airport where they will fly back to Brisbane on a Qantas economy flight and transferred from the Brisbane Airport back to Seachange.

Think of it: refer a friend to visit one of our Gold Coast based lifestyle resorts and have a chance to win $25,000 APT cruise. This is a huge giveaway and this alone is enough to make it our best year, but there’s more.
