The best in over-50s living

You’ve spent decades looking after a family home. This is your time, in a home that looks after you.

Established in 1977, Palm Lake Resort pioneered over-50s resort living in Australia, and 49 years on we’re still family-owned. Across 27 communities, more than 12,000 homeowners have traded the mowing, the maintenance and the spare rooms nobody uses for architecturally designed homes, country club facilities and neighbours who become friends.

New homes are now selling at five resorts across Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria. Come and see one for yourself.

“A new chapter in our lives brought us to Palm Lake Resort Forster Lakes – a magical area by the lake. As one of first residents, it is so exciting to see our resort develop. Looking forward to the great times ahead and sharing it with the new people we are meeting here. It really feels like home!”

“We have become involved in the community and I actually know more people in Toowoomba now than I knew in the 20 years prior to moving. It took me no time to settle in and my husband, within the first week said that he felt we made the right decision.

Palm Lake Resort is our home now, and we feel very comfortable in our new carefree lifestyle.”

We first looked at Palm Lake Care for mum and when she liked it, we had the sales team show us a house at Beachmere Bay and we put down a deposit immediately… We are so happy here; we wouldn’t trade it for anything.”

49 years of crafting luxury over-50s lifestyle resorts

Established in 1977, Palm Lake Resort pioneered over-50s resort living in Australia. Forty-nine years and 27 communities later, we’re still proudly family-owned, building every resort ourselves, with decisions made by the same family that founded it rather than a boardroom or share market.

More than 12,000 Australians call a Palm Lake Resort home. Our homes and country clubs have been recognised with multiple Master Builders Association awards, but the measure we care most about is simple: people who moved into one of our resorts and say they wish they’d done it sooner.

Our Homes

Designed for you

Every Palm Lake Resort home is architecturally designed and built by us, with the details that matter at this stage of life considered before you have to ask. Open-plan living filled with natural light. Stone benchtops and European appliances as standard. Single-level designs for easy living, double-storey designs with elevators and generous alfresco spaces for the grandkids’ visits.

Just as important is what our homes leave out: the big lawns, the endless maintenance and the rooms you stopped using years ago. Lock the door, travel for a month, and come home to neighbours who are happy to have their ‘family’ back.
