Enjoyed a night at the Outrigger

My wife and I reside in a villa unit at Woy Woy.

We're both in our late 70s, still fairly fit and healthy.

Several years ago, we downsized from our family home at Umina because we couldn't maintain the large backyard and gardens.

We've still got a few good years in us and we want to enjoy our time not having to struggle to maintain a house and garden.

However, when it came to a lifestyle choice, our only options were a villa unit or a retirement village.

The latter was not an option for us.

We would dearly have loved an apartment in Ettalong Beach as we enjoy the amenities at our local club, the medical services, supermarket and theatre complex which are all in walking distance.

We certainly couldn't afford the high-priced luxury units along The Esplanade.

That wasn't even on the radar but an apartment at Ettalong Beach town centre would provide us with a variety of choice at our fingertips, public transport at our doorstep and more importantly, a zest for life for a "couple of oldies young at heart".

We recently enjoyed a night's stay at the Ettalong Beach Outrigger Resort courtesy of our wonderful family and what a treat it was.

If we had the choice to live in an apartment in the Ettalong Beach town centre, everyday would feel like a holiday.
