Thyme Lifestyle Resort in Hervey Bay has surpassed expectations with its growing popularity among downsizers, celebrating its 200th home sale ahead of schedule. Vicki and Paul Quilligan were thrilled to receive the keys to their new home, having sought a vibrant and youthful over-50s lifestyle community.
“We looked at quite a few communities, but when we walked into Thyme Hervey Bay, it just felt right,” said Vicki Quilligan. “It just feels open thanks to lots of green spaces and the beautiful lake, and it has a welcoming atmosphere that feels young, which was important to us.”
Von Slater, CEO of Serenitas, was on hand to present the keys to Paul and Vicki's new Whitehaven home design, alongside Rob Nichols, Serenitas Executive Chairman, staff, and current homeowners of the Thyme Hervey Bay community.
“The sale of the 200th home marks a significant milestone for Thyme Lifestyle Resort Hervey Bay,” said Von Slater. “It’s a testament that the community we are creating and the lifestyle we offer resonates with people seeking to downsize. Since opening the Clubhouse and most recently Thyme Pool Club, we’ve seen a remarkable increase in buyer demand thanks to the incredible lifestyle we offer homeowners. The Thyme Pool Club features a 25-meter heated magnesium swimming pool, resort spa, gym, tennis and pickleball courts, and alfresco dining space.”
The Pool Club complements the Clubhouse, which includes ten-pin bowling, a lakeside fire pit, a bowling green, a sports bar, cinema, library, and an art and craft studio. Together, these facilities serve as a central hub for entertainment and recreation, providing inviting spaces where residents can host friends and family and enjoy various social activities.
“Thyme Hervey Bay is an established, vibrant, and engaging community,” Slater added. “The ability to purchase a brand-new home close to the lively town centre with its beautiful beaches and coastal walks, combined with our welcoming community and resort-style amenities, makes it a highly attractive option for those seeking to enjoy some of the best years in their life.”
Paul and Vicki Quilligan have worked hard all their lives and decided to sell their businesses and downsize to relocate to Hervey Bay, embracing what will be a new chapter filled with travel both in Australia and overseas.
“We wanted a place with fabulous facilities, and Thyme Hervey Bay has that. The houses are gorgeous and offer value for money. The ability to lock up and leave, knowing our home is safe, was important to us, and the fact that Hervey Bay has an airport, makes it easy for our children and grandchildren to visit us or for us to visit them. The whole process has been easy, and we’ve felt supported throughout. We feel confident we made the right decision,” adds Vicki.
“Celebrating our 200th home sold is a tremendous milestone for us, reaffirming our commitment to creating a premier community that combines great people, world-class facilities, quality homes in an enviable location,” adds Von Slater.
