Central to everything is our belief in the power of nature and connection to influence our wellbeing and quality of life. Our vibrant community offers young-at-heart retirees a purposeful lifestyle in an environment that’s all about living well, naturally.

  • Excellence

    Quality, experience, ambition

    We continually draw on fresh thinking and review global best practises to ensure we are setting the highest standards and paying attention to the smallest details in every area of our village.

  • Energy

    Positive, fun, innovative

    Our residents are redefining the retirement age by engaging with tech, leading purposeful lives, and striving to be fit, strong, and active. Healthspan is as important as lifespan, and our village environment supports a dynamic mix of social connection and physical activity, with plenty of space to engage and relax in nature.

  • Empathy

    Listening, respectful, transparent

    The diversity of our residents contributes to the rich tapestry of our village, and everyone has differing goals and hopes for their retirement years. It is with this knowledge that we ensure all of our residents have personal agency, and are treated with dignity and respect. We are open, transparent, and accountable and everyone is treated as if they’re part of the family – because they are.

  • Engagement

    Sociable, inclusive, active

    If we are to age well in life, it is important we remain flexible, open, and embrace change. Residents and staff are supported to make the community their own, while growing a sense of self and purpose. Our age-inclusive design and modern technology offers security to our residents while also providing freedom and connection in the village, and beyond.

Frequently asked questions

  • How can I secure a home at The Botanic?

    To place a hold on a villa or apartment you will need to complete an application with Michelle or Jan, and pay a $5000 deposit.

    Your deposit is held in a trust account by Anchorage Trustee Services and is fully refundable if you decide at any point that you don’t want to proceed.

    Michelle and Jan are highly experienced in aged care living, and will explain everything to you so that you fully understand the paperwork. This is then sent to your lawyer who will provide you with independent legal advice.

  • Can I bring my pet with me?

    Absolutely! The Botanic fully understands that pets are an important part of the family.

    Please speak with our Village Manager in advance of moving in and they will provide you with an approval. Your pet is then welcome to move in with you at The Botanic.

    Pet owners have standard responsibilities, and these are detailed in our village rules.

  • Can I have people stay in my home?

    Of course. We understand the importance of family and friends and they are welcome to stay for short periods of time at The Botanic. All we ask is that you let us know if you have friends or family who will be staying for longer than a week.

  • What if my personal needs change?

    The Botanic understands that over time our residents’ needs may change and they could require a greater level of support. To meet those needs, an aged care home and specialist memory care facilities are in development.

  • How much is the weekly village fee?

    The Outgoings Payment (or weekly fee) is $215.00 and is fixed for life. However, until such time as the Main Amenities Building or the Care Home is built (whichever is sooner), The Botanic will discount the Outgoings Payment to $185.00.

    The Outgoings Payment covers the following:

    • Rates
    • Water rates
    • Building insurance
    • Upkeep of gardens
    • Maintenance of the dwelling (internal and external)
    • Upkeep of communal facilities
    • Rubbish Removal
    • Security
    • The salaries of all employees directly employed to deliver village operational services.
