Agnes Water

Located at Australia's northernmost surf break, well below the crocodile and riskier stinger zone, 1.5 hours by tour vessels from the perfect atolls of the southern Great Barrier Reef, Agnes Water and its twin town of 1770 tick every box for those seeking a splendid yet affordable retirement lifestyle. The climate is sensational with a winter average of 22o, and summer 28o - and occasional rainfall is celebrated. What's more, this laid-back, uncongested community has all you need for everyday living.

Riverbend Agnes Water is an over-50s resort located 60-seconds from downtown Agnes and Main Beach, offering gated security, on-site management and an impressive array of recreational facilities. Unlike many developments of this nature, Riverbend homes are set well back from the street, are Colorbond fenced for privacy and have their own back yards. Owners pay a weekly fee of $200 for use of their site and maintenance of facilities, grounds and their landscaped streetscape, but note that this is inclusive of council rates.
