Coastal Gardens Retirement Village
About
Coastal Gardens has welcomed Hunter region residents since 2018. The village sits a short drive from Newcastle harbour and Nobbys Beach, with bus stops at the gate and Newcastle Interchange ten minutes away. Each villa is single-level with a 2-bed, 2-bath layout, internal laundry and a private courtyard. Day-to-day life centres on the community clubhouse: a heated indoor pool, full bowling green, library, BBQ pavilions, hairdresser and a small cafe open to residents and family. A dedicated workshop and craft room support the maker-types, and the village runs a full social calendar — weekly bus trips, men's shed, choir, gentle yoga and a Friday night happy hour. Pets are welcome.
