Freehold Community Living
The SunLife Australia ‘brand’ is founded on the demand for freehold tenure by over 50’s rather than lease or license, as well as homes with ‘luxury type finishes’, no exit or entry fees, and excellent community facilities. Brand recognition and standard is an essential component of a SunLife development.
SunLife Australia collaborates and forms strategic alliances with real estate agents, finance brokers, professional services, and builders Australia wide including a strategic alliance with Oxbridge.
Oxbridge is a specialised and experienced sales and marketing organisation, and with SunLife accreditation is specifically focused to market SunLife over 50’s community estates for property developers throughout Australia. Oxbridge has over 1,000 sales agents globally, and over 700 sales agents in Australia, allowing unprecedented market access.

The SunLife Warwick and SunLife Hervey Bay Story – Be amazed! Once upon a time it was said you cannot sell a secret. Well … we are! Why a secret? While we have two unique sites under contract with the best views in Warwick, and in the fabulous marina precinct of Hervey Bay, for an amazing over 50’s SunLife resort, ‘freehold’ homes, with affordable luxury finishes, we cannot, just yet, but soon, tell you where. And yes – not lease or license – you will own your home freehold.
