living a resort lifestyle every day. Located close to the community’s fully completed recreational facilities, the final release in Stage Three showcases a broad variety of architecturally designed homes from 174sqm to a spacious 324sqm ‘Grand Series’ home.

Each home is surrounded by space, has a larger backyard and the additional privacy of no rear neighbour adjoining the property. What makes this new release unique is that it’s also situated near the community’s rear security entrance and just a short stroll down to the lake, sandy beach, parklands and local cafe.

For additional information on the latest release of 8-Star energy-rated Halcyon homes please phone 1800 050 555.

“You can watch the kids playing and watch the ducks on the lake.”

The Local has also allowed the couple to meet more home owners from Halcyon Lakeside.

“We bump into people who don’t live in our street or aren’t in the same interest groups, so there’s an opportunity to get to know them better,” Steve said.

And it’s very handy if you just don’t feel like cooking.

“It’s reasonably priced, the food is very good quality and there are healthy options,” Carol said.

“They also do takeaways like pizza and sandwiches.”

Osborne said home owners were loving the convenience of having an exceptional cafe so close to home.

The Local Bli Bli is at 125 Parklakes Drive, Parklakes II, and is open every day, with dinner served on Friday and Saturday nights.

Friday evenings also feature tapas and live music.
