The state of play in the international promotion of retirement communities has intensified with the latest entry by Ocean Club Resort, Lake Cathie/Port Macquarie.
In response to the US’s Clark Retirement Community video (featuring the Michael Bublé song ‘Feeling Good’ with 1,581,199 YouTube hits) and the Kiwi’s video for Julia Wallace Retirement Village (performed to Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake it off’ with 1,463,026 hits), the Aussies have hit back with their contender for the world’s best retirement community video.
Backed by Kim Dotcom’s catchy hit ‘Live My Life’ and featuring 100 Ocean Club Resort homeowners, the video profiles a typical ‘day-in-the life’ compressed into an enthralling 180 seconds.
“Ocean Club Resort has pioneered active five-star living for the over 50s, and our video captures the essence of our community: seniors retired from work but not from life where the emphasis is on friendships, fun and keeping busy,” said co-founder John Gilmour.
“The community here has grown past 250 and with an average age in the mid-60s, the homeowners relish any opportunity to get amongst the 24 activities that are on offer. Bowls, tennis, golf, swimming, water aerobics, walking, rock ‘n’ roll dancing, creative colouring, yoga and Zumba seem to be the most popular”, added John.
If the objective was to create a vibrant younger retiree community, where homeowners are encouraged to remain physically and socially active, then the ‘Live My Life’ video may be an inspiration to a new generation.
