Life at Waterbrook

Written by

Wondering what it is really like to live at a Waterbrook?

We asked past Waterbrook Greenwich Resident Rosalind Beavis or “Buzz” as she prefers to be known, about her experience.

For seven years, Buzz was a Resident of Waterbrook Greenwich, before relocating to the Southern Highlands three years ago to be closer to family.
“Resident drinks on Friday evening was a wonderful way to meet neighbours, and because it was weekly it was a great way to stay in touch with the community” says Buzz, who regularly returns to visit her friends at Greenwich.

“My other favourite things included art classes, the weekly discussion group, exercise and aqua aerobics classes, the book and film clubs and the monthly health matter talks. I also enjoyed the travel talks, and even went on one of the trips, a cruise, with fellow Residents, an amazing opportunity that I would never have had otherwise.”

“The restaurant at Waterbrook was of a very high standard, delicious menus for lunch and dinner or a great place to catch up with Residents or family for a coffee.  There were also special celebration events, like Melbourne Cup lunch Christmas, Easter and Valentine’s Day, always beautifully themed by the staff,
I will always remember these occasions.”

When Buzz heard the news that Waterbrook had acquired a site in Bowral, she was overjoyed, and contacted Joanna and Liane to let them know that she would be a future Resident. “Amongst other things, I have missed the 24-hour Concierge, it was so wonderful to know there is someone there to call, especially at night. The maintenance team were incredible, if I had trouble with a window or hanging a picture, the team were always there, such a wonderful service, one I would appreciate now in my own home.”

If you have any questions about the 5 star service that Waterbrook is synonymous with, and which will be a very big part of living at our Bowral Lifestyle Resort, Buzz would be pleased to chat about her experience to any new Resident. Contact Lizzie if you would like to meet Buzz and have a chat.

Why The Southern Highlands?

Why the Southern Highlands?

Well known for its climate, with four distinctive seasons, picturesque landscape and vibrant shopping centres, its easy to see why the Southern Highlands is the perfect area in which to retire. Bowral, the largest of the Southern Highlands towns, is home to an eclectic array of restaurants, coffee shops, wineries, country markets, literary events, boutique shops, art galleries and a four-screen movie theatre. There are a wide range of medical practices, specialist services, private and public hospitals.

A short drive will take you to the towns of Moss Vale and Mittagong where you will find more eateries and wineries, amazing home ware shops, antique markets, a playhouse and the civic centre. Driving on a little further and you will discover a plethora of small villages, the “hidden gems” for which the Southern Highlands is renowned, Berrima, Burrawang, Exeter, Kangaloon, Avoca, Bundanoon and Sutton Forest to name a few. Tree lined country lanes, quirky local pubs and magnificent secret gardens are amongst the treasures that you’ll encounter. You never know what you’ll find around a corner and you most certainly won’t ever tire of the landscapes!
