Twin Waters Retirement Village Sunshine Coast
Situated on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast 1km from stunning beaches, within walking distance of shops, an international golf resort and tennis club and overlooking the Bill Kear Waterway, Living Choice Twin Waters retirement village is part of a suburb that was once voted “the world’s best residential address”.
Our selection of retirement homes include spacious 2, 3 and even 4-bedroom villas and a limited number of apartments overlooking the water. In addition, a private 500 metre waterfront boardwalk provides access to 40 hectares of recreational lake and the Maroochy River.
The resort-style facilities include a leisure centre with indoor heated pool, gym and spa, movie theatre, library/computer room, workshop, hairdressing salon, pampering room, billiards room, auditorium with dance floor, lounge and bar. Next to the bowls green there is a clubhouse with lounge, kitchen, bar, art and craft studio and games room. With so many facilities and interest groups at Twin Waters, it’s easy to keep an active, healthy lifestyle.
For added peace of mind, a co-located Estia Health Aged Care Residence opened in September 2017, so you need never leave the village if you or your partner requires extra care.
We welcome tours of our village by fully vaccinated people or those who have a medical exemption. To protect the safety of our residents and staff members, please phone ahead to make an appointment and wear a mask.

Karen and Peter Grabau
The boxes are ticked
We are very happy to say that after 14 months of residence at Living Choice Twin Waters, we are well and truly settled in to our chosen lifestyle.
We looked at all lifestyle options available at the time of deciding that a retirement community would suit our requirements going forward.
Being in our seventies, but still active and adventurous, the final choice was quite easy.
Living Choice Twin Waters ticked all the boxes :-
- Location; Central to all major shopping, restaurants, clubs, airport, motorway.
- Facilities; Two pools, 5 star theatre, auditorium, library, gymnasium, workshop, club house, lawn bowls green.
- Presentation; We are always proud to “ show off “ our grounds, leisure centre and surrounds to our visitors.
- All staff; We have been very impressed by the care, compassion and dedication of all staff.
- Activities; The slogan “resort living for the unretiring”, is very apt.
There is never a dull moment – shopping and show excursions by village bus, lawn bowls, fitness classes, cards, pottery, table tennis, and billiards as well as numerous activity groups and also village social functions and dinners.
Our living choice was a very spacious, private and secure apartment, designed specifically with comfort and ease of living in mind.
We were made to feel at home from day one and have always felt very welcome, safe and secure in the knowledge that there is 24/7 help and assistance available if required. We have made many new friendships.
