SEASIDE LIVING CLOSE TO MELBOURNE

There are several reasons that make Geelong an attractive city to retire to.

It has a great location, only around 45 minutes from Melbourne, and more affordable living costs. It also has the modern facilities and services to be expected from a modern city, combined with the charm of a beautiful coastal destination. Geelong is Victoria’s second largest city and offers plenty of great opportunities to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.

There’s a lively waterfront precinct with a long esplanade, the beach, pristine botanical gardens and lush bushy areas.

The Bellarine Peninsula is another renowned attraction with plenty of fun activities to enjoy. Other areas, like the CBD and Geelong West, offer something very different. You can find boutique shops, nice cafes, and great dining options.

Retirees living in Geelong can benefit from a wide range of services and programs designed to improve the quality of life of older citizens. The Commonwealth Health Support Program is one of them, and helps people over 65 with daily tasks at home. The elderly can also get nutritious and affordable meals conveniently delivered to their door.
