A little over a year ago, we found ourselves ready for a new chapter, one that balanced comfort, connection and a sense of ease to everyday life. From the moment we stepped foot inside Palm Lake Resort Yamba Cove, we felt something shift. There was an immediate sense of luxury and calm and as the community has grown over time, a warmth and familiarity that has made it feel like home. One of the things I’ve come to value most here is the lifestyle around health and wellbeing. The exercise classes have become a regular and genuinely enjoyable part of my week. Whether it’s Pilates, aqua aerobics, or simply moving in a supportive group environment, it never feels like a chore, more like a social highlight that leaves you feeling energised and positive. What truly makes this place special though, is the people. The community is incredibly engaging and friendly. It’s easy to strike up a conversation and before long those conversations turn into meaningful friendships. We’ve met so many wonderful people here and over time those friendships have deepened into connections that feel genuine. There’s a real sense that everyone looks out for one another, which is something quite rare and very special. Our home has also played a big part in our happiness. It’s spacious, beautifully designed, and incredibly comfortable and offers everything we need in this stage of life. It’s a place we’re proud of and truly enjoy spending time in, whether it’s a quiet morning coffee or hosting new friends. Location-wise, it couldn’t be more convenient. We’re close to everything we need. Great cafes, restaurants and shops are all within easy reach, making day-to-day living simple and enjoyable. Whether it’s a quick coffee outing or a relaxed lunch, everything is right at our doorstep. Looking back, making the move to Palm Lake Resort Yamba Cove was one of the best decisions we’ve made. It’s not just about where we live, but how we live and here, life feels full, connected, and genuinely happy.
After 10 years on acreage on Qld Sunshine Coast, we dipped our toes in the Palm Lake resort way of life at Caloundra Cay. 5 years later we are bathing in the glory of life at Palm Lake Yamba Cove. Amazing stylish resort, well managed, fabulous fellow Covers. Paradise!
Living in an over 50s resort is a unique experience in itself as it differs to living in a residential building and feels more like being on a permanent holiday. Another positive aspect is a sense of community. It is much easier to build friendships with neighbours as these in time turn into genuine lifelong friends. Having lived in a 3rd world country for many years safely and security was our major priority. With gated access and on site management this was a big tick for us. Another advantage is the facilities with maintenance of shared recreational areas swimming pool clubhouse gym and activities spaces it creates a very enjoyable relaxed atmosphere for our retirement years. There would always be challenges where one chose to live but the benefits of living in a modern resort far outweigh the drawbacks making it a lifestyle that we choose to enjoy for many years to come.

The first time we visited Palmlake Yamba Cove we were welcomed with open arms and we haven’t looked back! The location of the resort is within walking distance to the beautiful lakes and the local Yamba shopping centre . When you first walk through the Clubhouse you know you are on a winner, with its amazing quality inclusions that have to be seen to be believed! The variety of homes to choose from makes it easy to find a place that will suit your lifestyle and the quality of the building is top notch . Having moved into an amazing community of like minded people it has felt like home since the very first day with absolutely No regrets. Palmlake Yamba Cove is our Forever Home and we are extremely happy that we made the Decision to move here.
The community at Yamba Cove is amazing. There is a fantastic club house and so many events happening. It is a boutique community and we are enjoying the lifestyle in the resort and in the community in Yamba.
Just over a year ago we made the decision to begin the next chapter of life here at Palm Lake Resort Yamba Cove. We had visited over 50s lifestyle resorts, but none came close to the level of quality, luxury, and attention to detail we found here. We love the boutique scale of the community, limited to only 78 homes, Palm Lake Resort Yamba Cove feels private, peaceful and genuinely exclusive. It’s large enough to offer a vibrant social environment, yet small enough that neighbours quickly become friends and familiar faces. The facilities are truly exceptional and rival those of any five star luxury resort. Residents enjoy a heated pool and spa, sauna and steam room, and a state-of-the-art automated gym that makes staying active easy and enjoyable. There are dedicated spaces for creativity and leisure including a craft and pottery studio, a golf simulator and pool and snooker tables. For socialising, the beautifully designed BBQ areas, along with the wine and whiskey bars, provide the perfect setting to relax with friends and neighbours. Life here is wonderfully active. Residents can choose from a diverse range of activities including pilates, aqua aerobics, pickleball and a calendar of social events that keeps the community connected and engaged. There’s always something happening, but never any pressure, just the opportunity to enjoy life at your own pace. At first glance Palm Lake may appear slightly more expensive than some alternatives, however once you look beyond the headline price the value becomes obvious. The homes are beautifully designed with high quality construction materials, thoughtful layouts and inclusions that are clearly intended for aging in place. Every element feels considered and premium which gives the entire resort a sense of enduring quality. After just over a year living here, we can confidently say that moving to Palm Lake Resort Yamba Cove was one of the best decisions we’ve made. It offers not just a beautiful place to live, but a vibrant and active lifestyle that makes every day feel like a reward for years of hard work.
I have worked at many over-50s resorts over the years, but rarely have I seen something quite like this beautiful boutique community of just 78 homes. It’s intimate, well thought out, and still has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a much larger resort. What people really need to remember is that you’re not just buying a home here — you’re buying a lifestyle. The home itself is really just the cherry on top. It’s the sense of community, the facilities, and the relaxed coastal living that make it so special. When you’re looking at value in Yamba, it’s important to compare not just the price of the home, but everything that comes with it. When you take into account all the extras and lifestyle benefits included, it really stands out. And don’t forget one of the biggest advantages — there’s no stamp duty to pay.

Looking forward to relocating to Yamba in late February 2025. We did our research and chose what we believe to be the best in class for over 50s lifestyle and living. The whole process has been flawless and wonderfully considerate of our needs. The staff have been amazing and we genuinely look forward to this next chapter. Small Business Genies is moving to Yamba!
