Testimonials
| "I feel at peace here, this is home. I no longer have to cook for one and eat alone, all I need to do is walk into the Club House, I have never been so busy in my life. So rich in experience and we laugh, so I am here to stay and I am only 70!". February 2023 "The process of moving in was very easy, some processes can be threatening but this was easy. Amenities including the pool are wonderful. I felt the people here were very welcoming when we moved in, both in the villas and day to day. Most people are in the same mindset and are all very happy". February 2024 “I have now been living at Lady Wigram Retirement Village for 15 months and think it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. The staff here are excellent they are all very caring and patient. It is like living in a resort as there are so many things to do. There is so much organised for us all, we can go to a different activity every day of the week, i.e. movies, day trips, swimming, spa, gym, bowls and many more. We have a Cafe and Restaurant and our Chef Vanessa cooks us great food. We can take our friends and relations for lunch and morning and afternoon tea. You can choose to do your own gardening or have the gardeners do it all for you, so you can spend your time enjoying the activities. One of the better aspects of retirement life is the comradeship of fellow villagers and I have been lucky enough to have made numerous acquaintances and friends so you never need be lonely. Come and join us.” March 2023 "Our move into Lady Wigram Retirement Village, was to future proof ourselves in case of further health issues. We never expected to enjoy it as much as we do. We live a completely independent lifestyle but with like-minded residents in the village we have made lots of new friends. The villas are very luxuriously appointed which is an added bonus".

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.
