About Beetham Lifestyle Village

Life begins at Beetham Lifestyle village where retirement is all about living.

The luxuries of resort living don’t have to be confined to holidays. It can become a pleasant way of life for those moving into the age of leisure, from 70 years on, who no longer have dependents. It’s time to relax, to shrug off stress and relieve the weight of responsibility...

You may want to spend your time quietly in the safe, secure and attractive environment with companionship never far away. Or still active in mind and body, you’re seeking a stimulating social life and a range of activities within easy reach.
All that, and more, is provided at Beetham Lifestyle Village.

We make retirement stress free and a whole lot of fun.
Because the village is locally owned and locally operated the owners take a personal interest in the needs of our residents.
