Enjoy the fruits of your labour

A great home base from which to set out on your next grey nomad adventure, Maddington’s Arcadia Waters retirement village is designed for the active senior.

With caravan, boat and trailer parking onsite, the community is ready for any retiree who likes to get away for the summer, and is chock-full of amenity for people who prefer to stay at home.

Fitness fans will love the well-equipped gymnasium, a splash in one of the swimming pools – both indoor and outdoor – or a relaxing dip in the heated spa.

Socialising is made easy with a game of leisurely bowls on either the indoor or outdoor lanes, or a chinwag in the billiard room, communal lounge, cafe or barbecue areas.

A hairdresser and beautician will keep residents looking fresh and men are given a space to rejuvenate at Arcadia’s mens’ shed.

The village also boasts an art and crafts room for creatives, as well as a cafe and barbecue area for people after a cup of Joe or grilled sausages.

Arcadia Sales Manager Geraldine O’Shaughnessy said the village was designed to give residents more time to do the things they loved within a community of like-minded people.

“One of the biggest benefits of living in a retirement village is being surrounded by neighbours – people you know who are looking out for you,” she said. “You also have management to keep a continuity throughout the village, with ongoing maintenance, beautiful gardens and an ear to listen when there is a problem.

“The social life is brilliant, you can pick and choose what activities you want to be part of, or you may choose to continue to stay in the workforce and have all of this in the background for when you are ready to embrace retirement.”

Buyers enticed by the idea of life at Arcadia Waters can find their retirement haven at the village’s unit 144.

The home contains a sizeable three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with a double garage, and is the perfect pocket for a couple with grandchildren who like to spend the night.

Guests can stay for up to 13 weeks in the unit each year and those who require extra support are empowered to move in a carer.

The home itself is a low-maintenance brick-and-tile charmer, with comfortable carpeting, cosy rooms and a spacious, functional kitchen.

It is single storey, comes with a rear courtyard and front garden for owners interested in catching a little sun and is surrounded by fabulous scenes, including the wonderfully landscaped community gardens and nearby Canning River.

Ms O’Shaughnessy said residents enjoyed many open park areas by the village and often took their dogs exploring.

“We are walking distance to a major shopping centre, bus stops outside our gates and the train station a short walk away,” she said.

“With community living at Arcadia Maddington comes security and support to live your retirement years in a carefree spirit amongst friends.

“It’s your time now to undo the shackles of the big house and garden and spend your time enjoying the fruits of your labour.”
