Enjoy the community and life that Bellarine Springs offers

As the years pass and retirement beckons, one question resonates: Where should we spend our golden years? For many, the answer is Bellarine Springs in Drysdale, a place that offers comfort, companionship and convenience.

The McMillans, residents of Bellarine Springs, share their thoughts and reveal what makes this community stand out as a place to not only live, but thrive.

First impressions: a smooth transition

Moving to a senior living community can be a difficult experience, but for John and Renata, their first impression was one of relief and contentment. After the difficult process of downsizing and selling their family home, Bellarine Springs offered them an oasis of comfort. John and Renata remember the first few weeks as a bit of a blur, filled with the joy of unpacking and getting settled. Their transition went smoothly and they could not remember any negative feelings during those early days.

Charity: Friends are waiting for you

You know what they say: ‘Home is where the heart is.’ The heart of any senior community is the sense of community. John and Renata were welcomed by their neighbors who offered help without overwhelming them. The residents’ association was also very welcome and provided valuable advice and information. “The friendliness of our neighbors and the atmosphere of camaraderie among the residents made us feel like we were part of a big, happy family,” say John and Renata.

Amenities galore: your playground, your rules

Bellarine Springs offers a wide range of amenities to enrich the lives of residents. We enjoyed the pool and community center, but what really stands out is the freedom to choose how and when we want to use these facilities.

“The choice to participate or use the facilities is entirely yours,” the McMillans noted, emphasizing that there is no pressure to participate in any activity.

Customer service: where your needs matter most

Exceptional customer service is a hallmark of Bellarine Springs. The team, led by Kent, the village manager, is accessible, approachable and receptive to our suggestions and ideas. The village coordinators, Meagan and Sharon, are friendly and eager to help, while the dedicated gardeners, Frank, Rob and Nathan, ensure the village grounds are immaculate.

Location and convenience: a world of amenities

Bellarine Springs is not just a community; it’s a smart choice. It is located in a picturesque area and offers close proximity to essential amenities. We have easy access to supermarkets, pharmacies, medical facilities and dining options. Being only 20km from major hospitals and allied healthcare in Geelong adds an extra layer of convenience. Talk about convenience! What sets Bellarine Springs apart is not only its location, but also the quality of real housing, which gives a sense of sustainability. The thoughtful design, architectural variety and spacious roadways contribute to the community’s unique charm.

Living experience: where peace and privacy meet

Privacy and tranquility are not just words here; they are a way of life. Our neighbors are friendly but never intrusive. It’s the kind of place where you can really relax and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Resident recommendation: a genuine stamp of approval
