Reviews
Given the current COVID-19 environment we have temporarily disabled our ‘feedback’ feature. We apologise for any inconvenience.

Our philosophy is ‘Your Home, Our Care’ and we’re committed to providing the very best quality care in a friendly caring environment.
Mayfair’s 35 Hospital rooms are bright and sunny. We strive to provide the best possible life care experience for both residents and their families. With this in mind, we have done our utmost to create an environment that values safety, comfort and respect for every resident. Our care is tailored to individual needs and is monitored and adjusted over time as your needs change. We call this our ‘continuum of care’, which means additional services are available with the progression of age, giving residents the optimum level of care within the same warm and welcoming environment that they’re familiar with.
Scroll down to the 'Whats New" section to take a virtual tour of the village.
We have vacancies right now, so why not call Ingrid on 03 348 2445 for a chat.
