Retirement Living

Apartments

In November 2018, we opened 10 new apartments as part of the first stage of our redevelopment. We can offer you a quality lifestyle, social connections and peace of mind in our architecturally designed one-bedroom apartments with car parking and shared spaces. This will be an ideal place to start a new chapter of your life that is all about you.

There are two options: a strata title purchase or renting the apartment.
