Argyle Gardens Bundaberg 2023 Brochure

Welcome to Argyle Gardens

Perhaps it’s that the things you love most are just outside your door. Perhaps it’s that the spaciousness makes it feel like living your best life rather than compromising. Or maybe it’s that the smiling faces and genuine warmth of this community can be seen and felt. Welcome home.

Between the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef and the picturesque Burnett River is a community built on the strength of timber and sweetness of sugar.

A testament to the Coral Coast’s undeniably easy lifestyle, Bundaberg has all the natural attractions and citystyle amenities to make it a hot-spot for retirement living.

But it’s Argyle Gardens’ ability to encapsulate the town’s genuine warmth into a community of stylish private homes and apartments surrounded by resort-style facilities, that has created Bundaberg’s premier retirement lifestyle.

The stress of everyday maintenance disappears. All that’s left is the freedom to cultivate your hobbies, explore the Coral Coast without worrying about the security of your home and build the kind of lifestyle you’ve always wanted.

It takes a very special place for you to feel like you’re coming home as soon as you arrive. Perhaps it’s the irreplaceable location that affords you convenient, everyday living.

Nature’s

bounty creates a perfect retirement playground

“We have no worries at all. This is our home, this is our future.”

Norma and Rodney, Village Residents

Riverside Boardwalk, Burnett River

Everything you need is within minutes of your door. So is everything you want. Practicalities aside, Mother Nature really outdid herself with this destination.

Even the turtles know how special Bundaberg is. Thousands of them travel there every year to lay eggs in Australia’s most significant mainland turtle-nesting beach. Other natural attractions such as Lady Musgrave and Lady Elliot Island, Fitzroy Reef Lagoon and the Woongarra Marine Park make for incredible days of exploration in your own backyard. Not to mention your choice of beaches across Bundaberg and beautiful Bargara.

Spot dolphins from the shore, jump in the tinny and drop a line or walk the Riverside Boardwalk along he Burnett River.

Dive into the history and culture of the region at the Hinkler Hall of Aviation or the ever-changing exhibitions of the Bundaberg Regional Art Gallery.

While the Brothers Sports Club is a popular venue for dining and drinks, you’ll be spoilt for choice as Bundaberg’s café scene takes full advantage of its status as one of Queensland’s finest food bowls.

Nature’s finest is on display. Shopping, medical and other practical facilities are minutes away. And there you are in your own spacious, private home surrounded by the warmth of the Argyle Gardens community. The excitement of packing up the caravan and heading off on holiday is matched by the undeniable sense of coming home when you return.

Your premier retirement lifestyle – your way.
