Feature Focus: Design Your Perfect Spring Day at Mount Gilead

One of the greatest luxuries of living here is having a world of opportunity at your fingertips. Forget a rigid routine; instead, craft a day that truly inspires you. Here are three pathways to an exceptional spring day:

1. The Path of Action & Adventure: Start your morning with a friendly but competitive game on our bocce and bowling green. Feel the satisfying roll of the ball and enjoy some lighthearted rivalry with friends with the groups that use the facilities each week. Or, why not head to the on site golf course for a few holes? Perfect your swing surrounded by lush greens and native bushland. It’s an energizing way to engage both body and mind and get in some walking.

2. The Path of Relaxation & Rejuvenation: Prefer a more tranquil pace? Begin your day with a gentle swim in our heated indoor pool, letting the water soothe and refresh you. End your afternoon with a visit to our gym for a stretching session or some weight training at your pace using the specialised equipment for seniors.

3. The Path of Creativity & Connection: Fuel your creative spirit! Spend time with the knitting group, book club or a drink at the bar where you can gather with friends, sharing stories and laughter is the perfect end to a fulfilling day. Connecting with others is a great way to inspire strong mental health and foster long term friendships.
