Acacia Cove retirement village is flanked to the east by Wattle Downs Golf & Country Club and to the west by an estuary teaming with aquatic wildlife.

Our magnificent 'Lodge' Community Centre is positioned to maximise the tranquil outlook and spectacular sunset views. The village offers a variety of organised community activities, regular outings and events as well as top quality facilities. With the bowling green, indoor pool and activities room all facing the sun and estuary, comparisons are hard to find. For those relaxed afternoons in the sun, the lounge and restaurant provide the perfect place to sit in the company of friends and neighbours.

Within the community centre is a range of amenities including an open fireplace, billiard table, gym, spa bath, hairdressing salon, nurse's station, library and computers. A beautifully appointed meeting room forms the focal point for all activities from the walking group to the garden club, and provides a place to gather before and after going across the road to the golf course.
