Nestled in the sleepy coastal township of Burnett Heads, a new lifestyle village has emerged and is redefining over 50s living for active travellers.
Located just outside of Bundaberg, Queensland, RV Lifestyle Village Oceanside has just welcomed home its 35th resident and, with 46 hectares of land, is looking at welcoming many more over the next three years.
“RV Oceanside is all about lifestyle,” said Group General Manager, Amy Boyd. “We wanted to create a village tailor-made for people who enjoy the RV lifestyle. That’s more than just providing an RV garage in every home — it’s about wide streets, generous driveways, and eliminating the worry of “Are we going to make that?” or “Do we have enough clearance?”
But the benefits for RV owners doesn’t stop there. RV Oceanside also has an RV wash bay with a gantry, an onsite dump point, and a hardstand for up to 10 visiting caravans or RVs.
The beautifully finished homes at RV Oceanside all feature oversized RV garages, the average size being 16m x 6m, with a garage door clearance of up to 3.6m. This provides ample space to accommodate even the largest rig, plus a few more toys. “Our garages are a blank canvas for residents to do as they please,” Ms. Boyd said. “We’ve built mezzanine floors, workshops, and craft rooms — all frequent requests from our customers. We’ve even been asked to install a car lift and one resident is planning to install an aircraft simulator!”
“It’s an easy lifestyle and practically maintenance free,” said Village Manager, Michelle Donnelly, who moved to RV Oceanside 12 months ago. “While during the week I spend my time assisting residents, when it comes to the weekend, we can close the garage door and take off in the van and not have to worry about anything at home. No pool to clean, no big yard to mow, and the comfort of knowing that everything is safe and secure at home.”
While lock-and-go convenience is a major drawcard to RV Oceanside, the unique offering of activities both in and out of the village keeps many residents at home exploring their own backyard. “Burnett Heads is home to a marina and boat ramps for river and ocean fishing and is considered the gateway to the Southern Great Barrier Reef,” Ms. Boyd said. “For those that enjoy land-based activities, there’s plenty to see and do locally as well, with Oaks Beach and the Turtle Trail all in walking distance from RV Oceanside.”
Step inside the village gates and it’s easy to see why so many people are making the move to RV Oceanside.
“It’s the whole package,” said resident Rowena Shaw on her decision to locate to RV Oceanside. “A beautifully finished home, spectacular facilities, security, and the convenience of being able to hop in my motorhome and take off and not have to worry about a thing. You drive through the main gate and just feel instantly relaxed. It truly is like living in a resort.”
RV Lifestyle Village Oceanside is located at 50 Marshall St, Burnett Heads, Queensland. Homes are available for purchase with two or three bedrooms plus a study, and all feature RV garages. For more information, visit rvlifestylevillage.com.au or find us on Facebook.
