Lifestyle Communities Reviews 

Villa was spotless with everything we needed to make our stay comfortable. Receptionist was very pleasant and helpful. Grounds are going to be amazing when finished, and plants established .

Very enjoyable overall, considering it is still a construction site. A few minor criticisms - chairs not suitable for larger people, bed not fitted with electric blanket (fire risk). Community amenities excellent, and will improve as construction proceeds. Very good value for the cost of cleaning only, but a few more nights would have been better.

We had a great break at Club Lifestyle in Leopold on the Bellarine with our dog Rufus. So happy that we could bring him with us. Karen made us very welcome and explained the layout and what the future held. We can’t wait till our next visit.

We spent 5 nights in the caravan parking last week. They are large spots with concrete slab for caravan and grassed area for awning and outdoor furniture. There also was a garden to each site and car park too. The little touches with jam and a drink on arrival and a farewell rocky road bar. The amenities are great something like a private ensuite with roomy shower and toilet . We enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked again. Short walk to the alpaca farm and pat them. Golf putting area and also a nice fire pit area with chairs around it. Once the camp kitchen is finished it will be great. Thanks Lifestyle for a lovely holiday.

The Villa was very comfortable and well equipped but glasses etc are stored too high for shorter people. The Club is positioned well for sight seeing on the Bellarine which we did. When completed this will be great. We will be back next year and we hope your wonderful Manager Karen will be there to look after us again, nothing was too much trouble for her, very friendly and helpful.

The amenities in the villa were 1st Class and comfortable.
It would be helpful if there were double blinds in the front room so that light could be let in but also allow for privacy.
Also a slight matter that the front windows could have been cleaned prior to our occupancy, but we understand that there is a lot of construction happening.

A warm welcome , beautiful villa and great amenities … absolutely everything you could ask for. Lots of tips for adventures to be had in the surrounding area

What a lovely weekend was had. We knew quite well before we arrived that Lifestyle Bellarine was still undergoing construction, so we arrived with a completely open mind. And yes it was a construction site and did it bother us not in the least. In foresight of what this community is going to be like in the very near future is that it will be beautiful. Even with everything going on we were still able to have lovely walks around the estate and right down to the beach were in the future the Private Beach will be, and a beach pavilion.
Our accommodation was that of a two bedroom villa, it was lovely, equipped with everything you require for a short stay, and I will say, one of the most comfortable beds ever.
Looking forward to the Camp Kitchen being finished and that will really complete all the needs of us visitors.
I have a feeling we will have trouble booking a room very soon as this is sure to be a popular destination for a short break, with the surrounding areas having so much to offer, we had a couple of lovely lunches at local wineries and didn’t have to travel too far.
We met up with two couples staying in their caravans who were also from Officer Lifestyle and had a lovely Happy Hour in the Clubhouse with them.
Highly recommend this and thank Lifestyle for these opportunities, very much enjoyed.

Great cabin, Karen as usual was friendly and informative.

Loved the venue, the yellow canola field at the back, cabin was very comfortable, pillows were a bit high, we will bring own next time.
friendly staff, and the club house was in a great position over looking the lake and hills

Cabin was clean and well fitted out . Everything we needed was there and in good order.
Only small problem was the door to shower cubicle. Design left a gap down the side of the door, and also at the bottom, resulting in water escaping to bathroom floor.
All else was fine.

Great new accommodation on the Bellarine Peninsula there is a few comfort things that personal effect me but other than then it was a great experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our recent stay at Lifestyle Bellarine. We were welcomed by Maureen when we arrived with her explaining all about the Village and its amenities. The Villa room was well equipped and comfortable. We recommend to anyone from all villages who would like a short break to go and enjoy what they have to offer in the village and the area.

The unit the site the facilities make the stay comfortable the nice wellcome and farewell new place very clean
We enjoy our stay

I bought.into this community in St Leonards.in August.2020 and
it was not started then.We
.
were told it was going to.be a 200 home community which sounded great

Unfortunately some land became available next door and because our property was selling so quickly lifestyle purchased.this land in June 2021
Then the plans changed to a.shared community
Thank goodness the council.knocked it back
Then it was back to.2 separate communities.Now we have been told.we will share outdoor activities
We have not had a say and
If I had known this there is no way I would have bought.here
Unfortunately it is all about money

I thought the accommodation was excellent. Thoughtfully designed and a the welcome from the Booking person “Maureen” was exceptional.
She was very informative and helpful.
I will certainly recommend a stay to other Lifestylers.

Hi James,
My name is Daryl and my wife (Bek), and I have been here for 18 months now,
Our overall experience has been great, we love the facilities and have made great friends and the social life is great.
So for the most we have great feedback of our experience.
On a lesser note, the front garden looks pretty run down, and hardly gets any attention from the gardeners.
We are starting to do some garden work ourselves to clean it up, even though we are not supposed to do it ourselves.
This is also in our fees that we pay to cover this.
Bek has also been trying to get Solar Panels organised.
She’s been trying to get a sign off since April and we still can’t get an answer.
We understand that only 2kw can go back into the system, but we also know from Brad the Solar professional and from power core that we can put in a 5.8kw system in with no issues to grid.
I hope this feedback will help you to improve the experience for all the residents.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers
Daryl & Bek Luckman.

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.
