STRONG demand for over-50s lifestyle living has seen GemLife – one of Australia’s leading creators of luxury, resort-style communities – expand across South-East Queensland, and for homeowners like Paul and Sally Hollis, the move to GemLife Moreton Bay has been life-changing.
Since settling into their new home in late May – a date that also marked their 27th wedding anniversary – the Hollises have embraced the resort’s active, outdoor lifestyle. “It was a special day,” Sally said. “GemLife even surprised us with a cake!”
Drawn to the development’s open spaces, the couple chose a peaceful end block overlooking the community gardens. Morning walks with their two lively cocker spaniels, Holly and Hudson, have quickly become a ritual. “Everyone knows the dogs’ names, even if they forget ours,” Sally laughed.
Exploring the outdoors is second nature to the pair. Both keen cyclists, they now use e-bikes to discover local rail trails and waterfront paths. “You see more at your own pace on a bike,” Paul said. “We’re keen to ride down to Scarborough and explore.”
Their enthusiasm extends to paddleboarding, painting, photography, and even pickleball – activities made easier by the community’s vibrant social scene and shared facilities. “Since moving here, we’re doing more than ever,” Sally said. “At the end of the day, we look at each other and say, ‘How did we ever find time for all this when we were working?’.”
GemLife Moreton Bay represents the next generation of over-50s living – combining quality homes, resort-standard amenities, and a strong sense of community. As Sally puts it, “The outdoor life here is phenomenal – and we’re making the most of it.”
