6 wellness perks of this new Lake Macquarie over-55’s community clubhouse
For downsizers seeking a lifestyle of rest and recreation, Lake Macquarie is already a sought-after destination – but a visionary new development is set to raise the quality of life even higher.
Archer’s Run, an over-55s community in the lakeside town of Morisset, NSW, is being dubbed “one of the most exciting land lease communities Ingenia Lifestyle has ever undertaken.”
This state-of-the-art development blends resort-style luxury and leisure with a proactive approach to wellness, enabling residents to enjoy optimal health and an active lifestyle.
A haven for holistic health
Leading this vision is the spectacular Vitalia Wellness Clubhouse – a sanctuary delivering top-notch amenities for fitness, relaxation, and rejuvenation.
“This premium facility embodies the future of wellness for mature Australians who want to downsize but don’t want to slow down,” says Michael Rabey, Ingenia’s executive general manager of development.
“From cutting-edge pool and fitness spaces to therapeutic treatments, the Vitalia Wellness Clubhouse sets a new standard for high-end, health-conscious living.
“The community vision includes three clubhouse precincts with different purposes to meet the various needs of our residents.”
The Vitalia Wellness Clubhouse offers state-of-the-art fitness facilities, providing residents with endless opportunities for health and wellness.
These include the upcoming Hive Social Clubhouse – featuring a cinema, games room, library, lounge, and dining room – and the planned Sensate Sports & Leisure Hub, with a bowling green, pickleball courts, and a games lounge and bar.
Construction of Vitalia begins in late 2024. Here’s a sneak peek at what residents can expect.
1. Relaxation and recovery
Resembling a premium resort, the Vitalia Wellness Clubhouse offers a variety of spaces and facilities for respite and recuperation from an active life.
There’s a lavish beauty and massage room for a day spa experience, where treatments are seen as self-care rather than indulgence.
The spa, steam room, sauna, and salt room provide luxurious options to relax the body and mind, while the hot and cold plunge pools help improve circulation and muscle recovery.
Residents are encouraged to use these amenities as ‘rituals’ that form part of their wellbeing routine.
2. The lap of luxury
Embracing aquatic therapy, the clubhouse features a 20m heated indoor lap pool where residents can glide through warm water for fitness or recovery.
This serene space, designed with timber textures and earthy tones, connects to the surrounding natural landscape and is open year-round for swimming and hydrotherapy.
3. Innovative thermal treatment
One of Vitalia’s most cutting-edge features is the Thermarium, developed in collaboration with wellness consultant Dwell.
This space explores the therapeutic benefits of water, heat, and rest for bodily ailments and tension.
4. Focus on fitness
Prevention is better than cure, as the saying goes. Exercise is a key component of holistic health.
Vitalia offers dedicated spaces for Pilates and yoga, along with a gym for strength and flexibility training.
From yoga studios to rejuvenating spa rooms, the Vitalia Wellness Clubhouse at Archers Run provides a holistic approach to well-being.
5. Mindful design
The Clubhouse, conceived as a sanctuary within a sanctuary, employs biophilic design inspired by natural elements and the beautiful surrounding landscape.
This thoughtful approach is central to Vitalia’s vision, using design principles that promote physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Essentially, it creates a restful space where people want to be.
6. Community and connection
By creating an inviting space, the clubhouse naturally encourages residents to gather, form new bonds, and enjoy social connections centred around health and wellness routines.
These interactions are particularly beneficial and enjoyable, fostering a diverse mix of friendships and activities.
Prime lifestyle region in NSW
Lake Macquarie is the top destination for city residents looking to escape to the country, according to research from the Regional Australia Institute.
The Regional Mover Index has found Lake Macquarie to be the most attractive region in NSW for capital-regional migration, with benefits including proximity to nature, relative affordability, and a friendly, village-style feel.
Set in the Hunter region, between Sydney and Newcastle, it also offers convenient connectivity to cities and transport links for travel.
Morisset, once a hidden gem, is gaining traction as a desirable suburb, with a ground-breaking revitalisation project underway that Archer’s Run residents will enjoy.
From a thriving dining and shopping scene to the upcoming Cedar Mill Amphitheatre and entertainment precinct, life here looks set to shine bright.
