Mary and Phill Bensen had spent their lives in the bustling city, surrounded by skyscrapers, heavy traffic, and the constant push and pull of people in a hurry.
As they approached their golden years, they yearned for a change – a sea change.
They dreamed of a place where the pace was slower, the people more relaxed, the air fresher, and the ocean closer. That’s when they discovered Coffs Harbour.
Their first visit to Coffs Harbour was nothing short of magical. As they drove along the coast, they were greeted by the Big Banana amusement park, a quirky giant landmark that brought an instant smile to their faces. They were also happy to find perfect weather and the availability of endless beach inlets to explore.
A vibrant and convenient community tailored to ageing residents
Mary and Phill are in their 70s and have age-related ailments that require regular medical attention. As they explored Coffs Harbour more thoroughly, they realised it was the perfect place for their final home due, with comprehensive health services all located within a five-minute drive.
Additionally, as they become less comfortable with driving, they will still be able to get around easily thanks to the regular bus system that stops at the hospital, doctors’ offices, shopping centres, and the airport.
The couple joined the Coffs Harbour Bowls Club, where they made fast friends and found a sense of belonging. They were delighted to find gentle scenic hiking trails along the Coffs Jetty, just a minutes’ drive, where they are able to relive their dating days with regular outings to enjoy affordable locally caught fish ‘n’ chips on the foreshore.
As they settled into their new life, Mary and Phill felt a profound sense of contentment. They had found their paradise – a place where they could truly enjoy their later years, surrounded by natural beauty and a supportive community. Coffs Harbour, to them, is more than just a destination; it is their new beginning, a place where they are creating cherished memories of their golden years.
