Connecting with nature: The beauty of Rivervue's landscapes

The pre-retirement and retirement phase is the time to enjoy a balanced, happy, and stress-free lifestyle. One of the key elements that can greatly enhance your overall health and wellbeing during this life stage is the beauty of your surroundings and the ability to easily connect with nature.

Many of our residents find joy in the tranquillity of our village’s lush landscapes. Here’s how you’ll benefit when you surround yourself with nature at Rivervue.

Benefit mentally and physically

Having beautiful gardens on your doorstep offers a wealth of mental and physical benefits. The importance of connecting with nature for mental health has been widely recognised by a number of researchers and health professionals. Spending time outdoors, surrounded by greenery and natural beauty, has been linked to various mental health benefits, including reduced stress, improved mood, increased feelings of happiness, and enhanced cognitive function.

Physically, the accessibility of our stunning gardens makes it easy to get out and walk whenever you feel like it, contributing to improved physical health.

Embrace lush landscapes without lifting a finger

One of the distinct benefits of life at Rivervue is that the landscaping is meticulously maintained by our expert gardening team, eliminating the need for residents to tend to their front gardens or the shared outdoor spaces. This allows you to fully enjoy the benefits of nature without the physical demands of gardening. This means you can spend more time simply relishing the serene environment.

“The wetlands win everyone over,” says Rivervue resident, Judy.

Enjoy scenic strolls in your safe and friendly community

Rivervue is known and loved for our picturesque River Garden, which boasts two hectares of parkland area for the exclusive enjoyment of our residents. This oasis has walkways, lawned areas, ponds, and seating, offering space for quiet contemplation beside the Maribyrnong River. The River Garden is ideal for walking your dog, enjoying family picnics, or just taking a stroll.
