AN active social life is the focus of this over 50s lifestyle community.
Anne and Dave Crichton were founding members of the Opal by Living Gems Logan Village community.
Anne says they made the move from acreage so they would have more time to enjoy more things.
“We bought our first villa almost six years ago, it was the best move we ever made,” she said. “After a few years we decided we would like a villa with two bathrooms so we sold our first home at Opal and bought another one. We like it even more.”
Dave still works but Anne who used to work in the hospitality industry now uses her skills to help with the weekly resident’s lunches and dinners in the country club.
She says the social life at this resort is brilliant.
“The people here are really nice; we have made lots of new friends," Anne said.
