It truly takes a community to bring something like our Coastal Country Fair to life.

Thank you to our residents, clients, staff, volunteers, stallholders and everyone who came along - you made the day so special.

We look forward to seeing you all again next year!

Safe to say… the sausage sizzle and coffee were a hit at our Coastal Country Fair!

A big thank you to our amazing stallholders who helped make the day so special — we couldn’t have done it without you!

Live music, line dancing, baby animals and plenty of fun!

Our recent Coastal Country Fair was full of energy, smiles and unforgettable moments!

From little ones to 103 years young - and even four generations of one family coming together at our recent Coastal Country Fair - this is what community looks like!

Seeing families span generations, connecting, laughing and sharing the day together, was something truly special for our Harbourside Community!

There’s nothing quite like being part of the community!

Our residents and clients loved being surrounded by families, children and friendly faces at our recent Coastal Country Fair - soaking up the atmosphere and sharing in the joy of the day.

These are the moments that matter 🥰

Happy Easter from all of us at Harbourside 🐣

Wishing a very Happy Easter to all of our residents, clients, families, friends and our wonderful staff across the Harbourside community.
May this special time of year bring you joy, warmth and connection with those around you.

At Harbourside Residential Care, the Easter spirit was in full swing, with a day filled with fun and laughter. Residents enjoyed a range of Easter games, showed off their creativity in our Easter Hat Parade, and were delighted by a special visit from the Easter Bunny.

It was a lovely celebration that brought everyone together and created some truly special moments.

Easter is a special time that brings everyone together, and our Harbourside Seniors Hub clients enjoyed a wonderful catch-up with staff and volunteers to celebrate the occasion 🐣

The group embraced the spirit of Easter with creative egg painting, plenty of laughter and great conversation, along with a lovely outing to the Windsor Hotel as part of the celebrations.

Moments like these are what the Hub is all about – connection, creativity and sharing meaningful experiences together.

What a day at our Coastal Country Fair on 28 March!

From 18 months to 103 years, our Harbourside community came together to enjoy music, food, laughter and connection.

It was so special to see our residents and clients out amongst families, children, staff and locals - enjoying the atmosphere, the animals and the joy of being part of the community.

A day we won’t forget anytime soon!

We were delighted to welcome some very special visitors today, bringing with them the true spirit of Easter

Our resident Frank, a proud life member and patron of Nelson Bay RSL Club, spent over 20 years dedicated to the club—playing a key role in organising important events such as ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day. His commitment and service have left a lasting legacy in our community.

Today, it was wonderful to see that same community giving back, as the lovely ladies from the RSL paid Frank a visit. There were smiles all around—and of course, plenty of chocolate eggs!
Frank thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and it was a beautiful reminder of the strong connections and friendships that continue to mean so much.

Thank you to the Nelson Bay RSL ladies for making Frank’s Easter extra special
