Robin Thurston
”I live in a caring, supportive, friendly community here at Carmel Country Estate Retirement Village. Joining in a number of activities and being involved in the Residents’ Committee keeps me well occupied and the weeks fly by. Like others in the Village, I get a lot of pleasure from our beautifully kept gardens. The staff are helpful and obliging whether driving our transport for a morning’s shopping or assisting with some task around our units. I feel safe and I feel useful and very lucky to live here at Carmel.”
Sue Fox
”Carmel Country Estate was the Retirement Village of choice when we commenced searching for a pleasant village to retire into. We were attracted by the general ambience, attractive gardens and upkeep of Carmel and the layout of the villas within the complex. Once we had settled we quickly appreciated the support of the staff, the friendliness of the residents and the varied amenities available to us. Every effort is made to develop a community spirit through the wide range of activities and social events that are part of village life.”
Barry & Brenda Gaylard
”We decided to move into a Retirement/Lifestyle Village as a way of future proofing ourselves for a relaxed, retirement in a safe and secure environment. At the family owned Carmel Country Estate Village we are privileged to live independently and comfortably in a beautifully refurbished, private, roomy, warm and sunny Villa surrounded by fellow retirees. The atmosphere in the Village is friendly, with plenty of space to garden and host family and friends, who are always pleasantly surprised with the spaciousness. The Village is centrally located with the benefit of everything you need at the doorstep. The Staff are approachable and always willing to help if required. The gardens and facilities are immaculately maintained, there are more than enough activities to keep you entertained. Best of all our children and grandchildren love to come and stay and are always made to feel welcome at the Village.”
Jeff & Sue Ede
”We truly enjoy living here at Carmel. What attracted us were the bright and spaciously positioned Villas, the beautiful gardens with the tropical palm trees and pristine presentation of the Village. The professional staff are very kind and utmost helpful, which made the move to our lovely apartment a breeze. We are so happy we made Carmel Country Estate our new home and recommend it highly to people who would like to live in a safe, beautiful, happy Retirement Village. Thank you to Jason and Sharlene and their wonderful staff. From two very happy residents!”

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
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.
