When William Shakespeare coined the term ‘sea change’ in his play The Tempest, he may not have imagined that it would become part of everyday vernacular.

sea change – noun; a striking change, as in appearance, often for the better.

• any major transformation or alteration.

• a transformation brought about by the sea

Many of us will have toyed with the idea of a sea change — for some it’s been part of a conscious decision-making process and for others it’s due to a significant life change.

One particular cohort that actively considers a sea change are those in or entering retirement.

With a myriad of retirement options available in and around NSW, there is one option—a striking change that ticks all the boxes for the better.

Nestled within the coastal landscape of stunning Kiama on the NSW south coast, Cedar on Collins offers more than just an exquisite location, stunning facilities and amenities and high-quality apartments — Cedar offers a place where connection is built, and friendships are made.

“Moving house in one’s late youth, and downsizing, is not for the faint-hearted,” one new resident shared.

“On arriving here, I was exhausted and felt overwhelmed. But I arrived at Cedar to a warm welcome and my front door wrapped in blue ribbon and with a large blue bow! It was such a lovely surprise and welcome.”

With 56 thoughtfully designed 1, 2 and 3-bedroom apartments Cedar on Collins offers contemporary, fresh spaces with a considered, spacious layout, together with tastefully appointed features and inviting living areas there is plenty for residents to enjoy.

“The light. The airiness. The quietness. How easy it is to clean… My proximity to all facilities… The welcoming garden on arrival home.

The beautiful potted plants dotted around the paths and entrances…it’s wonderful,” another resident enthused.

It’s not just the property that enhances the experience of residents - the Concierge team at Cedar on Collins are always a step ahead, providing a comfortable and tailored experience and willing and able to provide assistance and meet requests wherever possible.

“Yes, we love it,” another couple shared. “The residents all initiated Friday evening drinks where people take their own food and drink.

And Cedar staff have organised a number of events such as Christmas lunch, film afternoons, morning teas etc which are an ideal way to interact with other residents. Phone numbers have been exchanged and help provided to each other.”

There’s a lot to love about Cedar on Collins and the ease at which residents feel like they can move around, be themselves and make it their own has been a breath of fresh air for many.

Just a short walk to the ocean front, minutes from shops, restaurants and cafés and the buzz of coastal village life, there’s so much on offer.

As one resident concludes, “We are now calling Cedar home. Our family and friends love what we have done [moving here] too. It’s so relaxing!”

Perhaps as you make your home at Cedar on Collins and watch the sun set from the roof-top gardens with new-found friends, you can raise a glass to Shakespeare and the bard’s words ‘to unpathed waters, to undreamed shores.’

And just maybe your best days are yet to be written, and they might as well be at Cedar on Collins, Kiama.
