Testimonials from our wonderful residents

Thank you to those residents that offer testimonials about their experience living at Living Choice Kawana Island retirement village. We value what our residents have to say, and the Living Choice team work hard to ensure that we are exceeding resident expectations.

Here are some of the testimonials we have received:

The best choice for my parents

The innovative designs and quality of the construction, together with the on-site amenities and ideal location, were a compelling combination in the selection of Living Choice Kawana Island as the optimal retirement village option for my parents.

In their near 13-year residency they enjoyed exactly the lifestyle that they had hoped for, pursuing a wide range of on-site activities and social engagements and always spoke very highly of the efficiency and friendliness of management and staff.

Although the retirement village space continues to expand apace, we’re of the view that the operation and lifestyle offered by Living Choice continues to be the premier package in the retirement market place and we look forward to taking up our own residency in the next year or two.

What more could you want!

I have been at Living Choice since June 2004, and can truly say it’s been a good move. The staff are very helpful and caring, and I love my unit.

There are outings and get-togethers and lots of events are held in the leisure centre. It is a pretty island, nice walks near the water and it is close to the shops. Plus, there’s ongoing care if it’s needed – what more can you want?

Valerie Hadley, resident, Living Choice Kawana Island

We have agreed it’s the best move ever

Since arriving at Living Choice at Kawana Island we have agreed it’s the best move ever. All of the staff  and village residents have been very friendly and the facilities are first class. Some of these are the bowling green, tennis court, indoor and outdoor pools, snooker and pool tables and many of the other activities if you wish to partake any of these activities.

I feel very blessed

I feel very blessed that I am living in such a spacious and well-appointed villa, my children are very happy that I am here too!  The whole complex, gardeners and maintenance team are just wonderful.  I am overjoyed at the way residents and staff have made me feel so welcome.  The indoor heated pool was a big drawcard for me.
