Did you know that we have recently opened a brand-new retirement village, McAuley, in historic Trentham?
Perfect for those who wish to downsize and surrender to the slower pace of country living, this boutique retirement village is ideal to meet new friends and stay connected, all while still enjoying your privacy. You can be as active or peaceful as you choose – that’s what makes downsizing in Trentham easy.
Each unit at McAuley Retirement Village is generously sized and has been thoughtfully constructed, with Caesarstone bench-tops, a spacious bathroom with additional powder room, reverse cycle air conditioning and heating along with quality appliances and fittings.
The units are low maintenance, with a paved courtyard and a front garden which is maintained by us, which leaves more time for you to do activities you enjoy.
Trentham’s location is perfect for maximising your independence and social interaction by maintaining close links with the local parish, social groups and community organisations.
Alice, 74 is glad she made the move to Trentham, after looking at several retirement village locations.
“I love the town,” she says. “It’s lovely. We’ve already met a lot of people, and there are lots of activities.
“We’re going to join the golf club, the activities club, and the arts group. It’s such a great spot, you can walk everywhere, including the medical centre, and cafes and restaurants. It’s a real advantage to be close to the centre of town.”
“We’re rapt, we love it. We’re so happy we made the move here.”
Do you want to know more about how you can begin low maintenance living at McAuley? Come and visit us at our open day on Saturday 29 February. We’ll be at 1 Bridge Street in Trentham between 11am and 1pm.
If you can’t make it to our open day, you can contact Brent on 0408 956 114 or email brent.peters@vmch.com.au to book a time for a tour.
