“Moving to Bayway Village was the best decision I’ve ever made. I wanted an affordable retirement in my own home, somewhere beautiful and pet friendly, with easy access to Sydney and the airport - and Bayway ticked every box”.

— Regina Raynor, Bayway Village resident

“Since moving to Bayway Village in 2023, my lifestyle has completely changed. I’ve got plenty of time for my hobbies, going for walks and bike rides, and just enjoying life. It’s such a relaxed lifestyle, and it’s been wonderful for my health and happiness.

I love everything about living here - the location, the facilities, and that real village feel. The staff are friendly, the gardens and public areas are beautifully maintained, and it’s such a pleasure to be part of this welcoming community.

I’ve made so many friends among like-minded, friendly people. There’s always something to do - I enjoy the pool, gym, tennis, pickleball, aquafit, line dancing, bowling, and all the social events.

One of the best parts about living here is the peace of mind. Owning my home gives me real financial security and comfort, and it’s a great feeling to know I’m settled and secure.

I also love the location. It’s so easy to get to Newcastle, the airport, or even Sydney, whether by road or public transport. The area is perfect for walking and cycling, and being close to the beaches and beautiful nature of the Bay is just lovely.

For anyone thinking about downsizing, I’d say go for it! The land lease model makes so much sense - you own your home and lease the land, which keeps things affordable and easy to maintain. It’s a great concept that gives you freedom, flexibility, and the chance to enjoy all the activities and social life the village has to offer.

I’d definitely recommend Bayway to anyone looking for an affordable, friendly, and relaxed lifestyle. It’s a beautiful village with great facilities, easy access to everything, and such a warm community. I couldn’t be happier calling Bayway home”
