Picture mornings that start with a quick round of golf, afternoons by the pool, and evenings spent with new neighbours who feel like old friends.
At Thyme Lifestyle Resort Bundaberg Springs, a nine-hole golf course sits at the heart of a boutique over-50s lifestyle community, designed so you can spend more time enjoying life.
There’s a special kind of morning that residents of Thyme Bundaberg Springs come to know well, where the only items on the agenda are a leisurely nine holes with good company. This boutique over-50s lifestyle community on the banks of the Burnett River has been thoughtfully designed to offer a level of everyday indulgence more often associated with a holiday destination, than a place to call home.
Set in the southern gateway to the Great Barrier Reef, the community is thoughtfully built around a nine-hole golf course that threads through the heart of the resort – a feature as much about lifestyle as it is about the game. Whether you’re a seasoned player or someone who simply wants to try a new hobby, the course right at home offers an easy, everyday invitation to get outside, breathe the fresh Queensland air, and connect with your new neighbours.
Live the resort-style life, every day
Golf is just the beginning. At the centre of Bundaberg Springs sits the Lake House – a beautifully appointed hub that harbours the social life of the community. Come late morning, you might find a group finishing up on the bowling green or crochet lawn. By afternoon, the indoor and outdoor pools draw those who’d rather float than swing a club. Evenings tend to migrate toward the sunset deck and the community kitchen, where the pizza oven and BBQ facilities turn a simple Tuesday night into something worth remembering.
There’s a cinema for rainy afternoons, an art and craft studio for the creatively inclined, a gym and fitness studio, a library, a billiards room, and a performance stage that keeps the social calendar surprisingly full. A resort bus connects residents to the wider area, and the community’s citrus orchard adds a distinctly Queensland flavour to it all.
For those who’ve spent decades building a career and raising a family, this is what the other side looks like. Not a quieter life, a richer one.
