Unlock your equity to live life to the full

One of the best things about living at an over-50's lifestyle resort like Oceanview, is your new-found equity. By selling your current home and purchasing a home at OceanView, you'll have the funds to live the lifestyle you deserve. 

At Oceanview, we have NO entry or exit fees, and you own your home and pay a weekly fee to cover most of your bills and access the incredible facilities. It's a unique approach that allows you to focus on what's important in your life. 

Don't just take our word for it!

“Listening to people from other villages, they envy the relationships that we experience here at Lakeside Goolwa. The advice given on preparing my home for sale and negotiating the price was a huge help in getting a successful sale of my old house.”

About

Frequently asked
questions

At OceanView Resort we want you to be fully informed so that you can make decisions that are right for you. We think we’ve covered most of them, however if you need further information, just give us a call on (08) 8555 2737 - we’re here to help.

Do I own my own home at OceanView?

Yes, unlike typical retirement villages where you never own your home, at OceanView Resort, you do.

How much does it cost to buy a home at OceanView?

All of our Stage 1 homes can be explored on the For Sale page. Here you will find pricing and features of each home. For the latest weekly site fees, please give us a call on 8555 2727.

Is there a Deferred Management Fee at OceanView?

Absolutely not. That’s one of the most exciting benefits about investing in OceanView - no Deferred Management Fee if you decide to sell your home. Most retirement villages have charges around 40% of the sale value of your new home when you sell. OceanView does not charge any such fees.

What utilities costs are there?

At OceanView Resort we are very aware of the rising costs of living. That’s why we have worked hard to ensure that your day-to-day home running expenses are kept to a minimum. This has been achieved by:

  • Installing solar panels on the roof of each home. This will reduce the electricity costs for each homeowner.
  • We will provide the water to all external areas for garden irrigation. This will help reduce your water usage costs.
  • Each home will have a 1,000 litre rainwater tank plumbed directly into your home to further assist the reduction of water bills.
  • Council rates and sewerage rates are paid by OceanView.
  • You will be responsible for paying for the water consumption within your own home.

Who owns the land where the home is situated?

In order to make OceanView an affordable option to all, we have separated the ownership of the land from the ownership of the home. Therefore, you own your own home and enter into an exclusive, long-term site agreement for the use of the land (governed by the Residential Parks Act). This means that you are able to enjoy more of the freed-up equity to make the most of your retirement.

Is OceanView a retirement village?

No. Our only stipulation is that all residents are over 50 years old. All of our residents are owner-occupiers and important members of our community. OceanView falls under the Residential Parks Act and therefore operates very differently from a typical retirement village.

How much is the weekly site fee?

The weekly site fee is payable fortnightly, in advance, by direct debit. It is reviewed on the 1st July each year. Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for government assistance to significantly reduce the amount of the weekly site fee. The site fee covers your land rental, council rates, sewer, ESL and external water. It also gives you access to world-class facilities and organised activities. 

Can my visitors use the OceanView facilities?

Yes. Your visitors are welcome to use all the facilities at OceanView when accompanied by a resident. However, the actions of any guests are the responsibility of the resident.

What rules are there at OceanView?

There are some common-sense policies and by-laws to ensure that OceanView is an enjoyable place to live for all residents. A copy of the rules is provided to you with your contracts. Alternatively we are happy to provide a copy to you upon request.

Can I have visitors stay at my home?

It is your home and of course you can have visitors stay. However, visitors can only stay for a maximum of 30 consecutive days without the express permission of management.

Can I bring my family pet to OceanView?

Yes, small family pets are allowed at the discretion of management. We understand that pets can be an integral part of a happy home, so please feel free to discuss your family pets with any of our home consultants.

Can I rent out my OceanView home?

No. OceanView has been specifically designed to create the ideal lifestyle choice for homeowners to live in and enjoy. This means that you are unable to rent out your home to other parties.

Is OceanView only for retired people?

No. Moving to OceanView does not mean that you have to stop working. However, you are not able to carry out a business from your home.

Can I customise my home?

When you sign the contract for your new home, you will be given the opportunity to choose from 6 internal colour schemes. It is your home once you settle, you are free to make changes to the interior. However, any changes to the exterior of the house must be approved by management in advance, to ensure that the impeccably high standards at OceanView are maintained for all.

Do I have to pay stamp duty when I buy or sell a home at OceanView?

No. Stamp duty is not payable when you buy or sell a home at OceanView. This is because you do not own the land. 

Where can I get more information about OceanView Resort?

Please feel free to give our expert, friendly home consultants a call or email via the contact details below. We are always more than happy to answer any queries you may have.

When can I move into my new OceanView home?

We anticipate that construction completion of Stage 1 homes will occur in late-2025. The facilities will commence construction at the same time, and will be complete shortly after the first residents move in.
