10 Best Places to Retire in Australia.
There are many things you need to consider when you’re about to retire. One of them is the weather. Australia’s climate varies depending on which part of the continent you’re in. It’s mostly tropical in the northern states while the southern states have cooler winters. It’s also one of the driest countries with an average annual rainfall of less than 600 millimeters. In fact, retirees can enjoy an entire year of sunshine in Queensland and New South Wales!
Jill and Owen Weeks, authors of the book Where to Retire in Australia, said that although the needs of retirees vary, they generally want good climate, relatively low cost of living, top medical facilities, low crime rates, and leisure places. Australia no doubt fits the bill for these criteria.
We curated this list from OverSixty, Financial Mappers, Finder, and Retirement Living Online. The more frequent the place is recommended in the said sites, the higher rank it is given. In this list, we will look closely at what each location has to offer and why it is beneficial for seniors to spend their retirement years there.
10: Tweed Heads, New South Wales
9: Coolangatta, Queensland
8: Esperance, Western Australia
7: Merimbula, New South Wales
6: Echuca, Victoria
5: Yankalilla, South Australia
4: Huon Valley, Tasmania
3: Mornington Peninsula, Victoria
2: Hunter Valley, New South Wales
1: Sunshine Coast, Queensland

UNIQUE ACCOMMODATION | Is this houseboat rental in Noosa, Australia the perfect Airbnb? | SLOW STAYS
Moored on its own private jetty on the stunning Noosa River on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, Waternests' renovated houseboat provides the ultimate unique accommodation.
~
Walking down the silvered timber dock to Waternest #1 in Noosaville, your mind instantly switches to holiday mode. A private gate makes you feel like a VIP as you step through to your exclusive pier.
While you feel as if the world if your oyster, with no neighbours to speak of as you face the water, the houseboat is nestled on Gympie Terrace – the main restaurant strip of Noosaville.
Set up intimately for two, the houseboat didn’t always look as though it was ripped straight from the pages of your favourite interior design magazine. The dilapidated vessel was transported from the Northern Rivers, NSW to Noosa then owner Christina set to work – stripping and re-designing with impeccable taste. Awash with tones of whites and timber, soft linens drape over resort-style bedding and simple decorations of rope, jute and driftwood transform the interior into a luxurious beach-style berth.
