Festive Spirit Shines Bright at Halcyon Gables’ Christmas Lunch
The spirit of community and Christmas came alive recently as Halcyon Gables’ first homebuyers and team gathered for a festive celebration at the picturesque Lynwood Golf & Country Club, just a 12-minute drive from the new lifestyle living community.
This warm and lively event marked a significant milestone for the over-60s community, offering future homeowners the chance to meet their soon-to-be neighbours and enjoy the festive season together.
Guests embraced the Christmas spirit, donning red, green, and gold outfits in hopes of winning the coveted “Best Dressed” prize, judged by Wendy, Mel, and Alex from the Halcyon Gables team. The effort was impressive, with plenty of laughs, applause, and a few memorable snapshots to capture the day.
Halcyon Gables homebuyers and Halcyon Gables team gathered for a festive Christmas lunch.
Seated thoughtfully by neighbouring site numbers, attendees had the perfect opportunity to connect over a traditional Christmas meal of roast and pudding. The room buzzed with introductions, shared stories and plenty of smiles as new friendships began to bloom.
“It was so easy to mix and chat,” shared Anne and David, proud future homeowners at Halcyon Gables.

“The placemats with names and site numbers were such a thoughtful touch—it really made everyone feel connected.” This was a delightful surprise for the future homeowners who found out about their street addresses.
The festive cheer reached its peak with a surprise visit from Santa Claus, who delighted guests with personalised gifts. Each attendee received a beautifully curated selection of grazing board treats and tea towels, thoughtfully themed to their chosen interior colour scheme.
For Anne and David, the sense of community was the highlight of the day.
“We feel the sense of community is one of the biggest drawcards for us,” Anne said.
“Back in the UK, our families lived just streets apart, and we were always surrounded by people we could rely on. Being around like-minded people in a secure, gated community will be wonderful.”
Halcyon Gables, Stockland’s first land lease community in The Hills District of New South Wales, is already shaping up to be more than just a collection of homes. With 231 luxury, low-maintenance homes and resort-quality facilities, it promises a vibrant and active lifestyle tailored for over-60s.
Reflecting on the day, Project Director Ken Franklin expressed his excitement about the future.
“Today's lunch was a beautiful example of what makes Halcyon Gables so special—a sense of belonging and joy shared among neighbours. We’re excited to see this community grow and thrive.”
