Retirement village sets the benchmark

From its high-quality villas to its comprehensive range of recreational facilities and support services, the Peninsula Lifestyle Retirement Village is the smart choice for retirees.

The village, set inside a secure, gated community among stunningly landscaped gardens, is designed to be both beautiful and practical. With gardens and walking paths arranged around the superbly appointed clubhouse, its pedestrian-friendly village layout connects residents to friends and neighbours and to the village’s social hub.

Dennis Anderson and Shane Thomas, from Thomas Anderson Design, said the company’s design brief was for a high-quality retirement village similar to that of a luxury urban CBD development. 

“The overall plan was to complete a design that was focused as being a lifestyle village rather than simply a collection of retirement homes,” Dennis said.  “It would include a community hub, ample gardens, walking space and other functions all developed for a better lifestyle.” 

Genus Landscape Design principal Jason Davidson was instrumental in the design of the village’s refreshing garden plan, and said the key to its success was a marriage between the natural elements of the site – including native trees and natural water drainage channels - and a classically styled and colourful formal garden design incorporating fragrant plants known to thrive there.  Three large, community garden planter boxes allow residents to grow flowers, herbs and vegetables.

Other amenities include an alfresco dining area, a well-equipped gym, a library with a shared computer, and a modern cinema.

Peninsula Lifestyle Retirement Village really is the gold standard for retirees.  Inspection times are 10am-4pm Monday-Saturday and Sunday 11am-3pm.
