September/October 2020

Welcome to our spring news and updates with our most exciting development now under construction! The heated indoor pool is finally underway and we can’t wait to be swimming by summer! Our pool is being built by the award winning Imperial Pools who have so far done an amazing job.

During school holidays I was fortunate enough to spend time with my family up north enjoying the sunshine in Monkey Mia, Exmouth and Coral Bay. We met up with some Champion Lakes residents who have a lovely holiday home in Exmouth. Thank you, John and Yvonne for inviting us to dinner, it was great to meet your beautiful grandkids and catch up with friends.

Champion Lakes location is surrounded by many local attractions including the Araluen Botanic Gardens and the Roleystone Country Club where some of our residents will be attending a Halloween dinner and quiz night this month. Hopefully we win best costume on the night!

Margarita will be moving into the ‘Daffodil’ Display Home next month with the help of her daughter. Margaritas house sold in just under a month with Spring definitely looking positive for purchasing and buying homes.  Realestate.com.au has reported an increase in WA sales which is encouraging, so if you’re thinking about making the move, maybe now is the time.

With Seniors Week fast approaching, our village will be attending the ‘Have a Go’ Day in November. This free event is a great opportunity to learn and participate in a number of activities. We definitely recommend checking it out and if you have time , please come say hi at our stall on the day.

Our brand new display homes are now completed and open for viewing. Please join us on Sunday the 15th of November for a day of entertainment with talented singer Chris from Beatles to Buble. Enjoy a free sausage sizzle, barista  coffee and hot freshly made donuts. A great opportunity to meet some of our friendly residents and experience the village atmosphere.

We look forward to hopefully seeing you on the Open Day.

Best Wishes Keith, Jane, Leah and Family.

August 2020 Newsletter

Welcome to our August news and updates as we say goodbye to winter and welcome some sunny spring days!

Les moved into his new house on his Birthday this month with many of our residents welcoming him with open arms and a morning coffee catch up full of laughs.

Les chose the “Rose” floor plan and included some flash upgrades including black fixtures and fittings which we think look great. We may even use some of his ideas in our next display home!

Our September Social Calendar is now up and running with a few more excursions now the weather is warming up including lunch at Mandurah Foreshore and a couple of trips to the Kalamunda Markets. The usual darts, pool and table tennis are still popular with regular coffee catch ups and happy hour Fridays. We are always open to new ideas so please feel free to recommend activities or places to visit so we can add them to next month’s calendar.

Nice shot Les, very clever but it’s a shame you missed out on any points!

Our Residents often recommend our local services when they have had a great experience.

Chris used a local car detailer this month who did a fantastic job, plus had some extra shelving and storage installed by Handy Mike! She also had custom curtains made by a lovely family owned business who provided an affordable quality product.

Luke Nass and Robert Day also both come highly recommended by our residents who have successfully sold homes recently.

Progress is going well on our next display homes with completion scheduled for mid-October. The “Rose” design now has high ceilings throughout the lounge and dining rooms to create the feeling of a spacious living area.

Daffodil Day is a day to remember all those whose lives have been touched by cancer. It’s a day to honour them, and to invest in cancer research to ensure a cancer free tomorrow comes sooner. Donations can be made online at daffodilday.com.au

Finally, we would like to wish all the fathers, Grandads and Pappys a very Happy Fathers Day with loving family and friends this weekend.

Best Wishes Keith, Jane, Leah and Family.

This month we welcome our newest residents John and Yvonne who have moved from Kelmscott with their beautiful dog Molly. Three years ago, we met John and Eve at a caravan park in Exmouth.

John and Eve still enjoy regular visits to Exmouth to see their grandkids and we feel very fortunate to have great new friends join our community.

Its times like these we find comfort in knowing our community cares for each other and appreciates the importance of friendships.

Progress on our next display home is near completion with final finishes going in this week.
