Testimonials
| “I had a few struggles downsizing my home but coming here has taken a real weight off my shoulders and the entire family, who really appreciate the fact that I’m in a safe environment and in such good hands. There’s also plenty to keep a guy like me busy – with various excursions to go on, organised activities, bbq’s and of course the popular Happy Hour every Friday.” - Bob Brown, serviced apartment resident |

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
