GOLD COAST TRIO READY FOR A LIFESTYLE LEVEL-UP.

THE NEW GEMLIFE GOLD COAST OVER-50S LIFESTYLE RESORT IS BRINGING TOGETHER FRIENDS AND FAMILY AT A RAPID RATE, EVEN BEFORE THE FIRST HOME IN THE FLAGSHIP RESORT HAS BEEN COMPLETED.

Among contract holders already signed up in Stages One and Two are several friend and family groups sticking together. One such group of long-time friends – Sharron Earnshaw, Judy Kontis and Sue-Ellen Bemrose – has even purchased homes in the same street, which is nothing new for the trio.

All three are currently neighbours, the same age, and great friends living in the same street at Upper Coomera. The friends, who are all single, are extremely excited about their next move to GemLife Gold Coast.

“Downsizing from our big homes and buying into an over-50s lifestyle resort was a huge step for us all but something we had been talking about for some time now. When we visited the experience centre on site and saw what GemLife Gold Coast offered, we all immediately signed up. And surprisingly, we were able to buy in the same street again,” said Sharron, who first encouraged her two best mates to come along for a look.

Judy was so impressed she told her brother who drove up from Ulladulla in NSW to take a look and he ended up buying a home in the new $200 million over-50s lifestyle resort as well.

The women, who currently live ten minutes away from the resort, believe GemLife Gold Coast represents a relaxed, active, new beginning for them. The lifestyle on offer, free from the ongoing maintenance worries of gardening and upkeep of pools at their current homes, fits perfectly with how they see their dream retirement with socialising and keeping active together at the top of their lists.

“We have already been to quite a few functions hosted by GemLife where we have been able to meet and get to know some of our future neighbours even before anyone moves in, so there is no way we are going to feel like strangers when we finally get the keys to our beautiful new homes which will be spacious, have high ceilings and be immaculately built,” said Sue-Ellen.

They admit another huge drawcard is GemLife’s three-level, multi-million-dollar Country Club which they say is “going to be amazing”.

“We can’t wait to sit up on the top level, near the infinity-edge pool, enjoy a cocktail and gaze out over the beautiful views of the Gold Coast,” said Sue-Ellen, who is also keen to be actively involved in the resort’s many facilities including walking, swimming and pickleball.

“I’ve never tried pickleball and living at GemLife will give me a chance to give it a go,” she said.

The Country Club will provide many recreational facilities ranging from a fully equipped gym, ten-pin bowling alley, golf simulator and yoga studio when we finally get the keys to our beautiful new homes which will be spacious, have high ceilings and be immaculately built,” said Sue-Ellen.
