Comprising 46 villas, it’s your choice between two or three bedroom villas. Each villa has a large open living space, private courtyard, and individual garage with plenty of space for storage.
The village is co-located with a Residential Care home, where our villa owners are welcome to take part in the activities and wide range of services on offer. Some popular activities and services include hairdressing, pastoral care and the onsite chapel, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy.
Along with aged care residence living and dining rooms that village residents can access, there’s also a community centre at the heart of the village in which you’re invited to make yourself at home. The community centre hosts activities such as films, carpet bowls, live concerts, playing pool and many social events, it’s your choice to do what you like.
The dedicated and caring retirement village team are available if you need help with daily tasks. You’re also welcome to take advantage of our Home Care services (by application) if you need support with day to day living for example you may need someone to accompany you to an appointment or family event like a wedding.

Our Retirement Village FAQs
Who owns and manages the retirement villas?
Catholic Homes owns and operates four independent living villages, as well as residential aged care and home care services. The organisation is an incorporated association (est. 1965) and a registered charitable institution.
Catholic Homes is governed by its Board and managed by a highly experienced executive team with a broad range of qualifications and expertise including business, nursing and health services, accounting and community development.
Do I own the Catholic Homes retirement villa?
Residents don’t own the asset but may benefit from any growth in its value when their villa is “sold”.
When you purchase a lease for life villa, your payment means that when there is capital growth on the property upon re-sale, you share in this growth. This is sometimes called a “capital share lease” arrangement.
Under the Independent Living Village Agreement, residents receive the benefit of a proportion of capital growth, subject to conditions, upon re-leasing. This does vary between villages and organisations and you should check to see if an agreement allows you to benefit from capital growth
What age does the oldest resident of a couple have to be to live in a Catholic Homes retirement village?
To qualify for residency, at least one resident in a villa must be aged 55 years or older.
All residents should be capable of independent living in the village.
Can I have a pet at a Catholic Homes Retirement Village?
Pets may be permitted at the discretion of Catholic Homes and must be authorised in writing.
Incoming residents must abide by and sign a Pet Agreement Form, as your pet should not intrude on your neighbour’s amenity. Assistance and guide dogs are permitted.
