At Star of the Sea you’ll find a safe, close-knit community where you can also take the time to explore what’s on your doorstep. Participate in our vibrant lifestyle programs or indulge in some ‘you’ time. Use the indoor gym, private cinema, community centre and alfresco dining area.
At Star of the Sea retirement village you’ll have more time for you. We’ve got you covered as we maintain all front gardens and conduct annual external gutter cleaning.
We also have an adjacent aged care residence should your needs change over time.

Jackie Lawler Star of the Sea Manager
In 2023, I joined VMCH as a Customer Care Officer in Affordable Housing. In June 2025, I became Village Manager at Star of the Sea. I’m passionate about fostering strong relationships and delivering exceptional service to our Village Community residents.
Find the perfect home for you.
You’ve probably heard of one of Victoria’s most loved locations. But we’ll remind you again why Torquay is so great. The start of the Great Ocean Road, close to Geelong, never-ending coastal drives and did we mention the beach? Stroll along sandy beaches and enjoy the vista of the coast from vantage points along the Surf Coast Walk. Plus, fabulous shops, cafés and amenities are at your fingertips.
You’ll find two- and three-bedroom homes with open plan living. The homes include light filled kitchens with Caesarstone bench-tops and two bathrooms with walk-in shower, plus reverse-cycle air conditioning and heating. Each home also has a lock-up garage accessible from inside the home, and a private courtyard.
VMCH retirement living is special! We champion and celebrate the dignity of every person, with a community spirit that welcomes everyone. This results in friendly and vibrant communities, offering residents the unique opportunity to develop new friendships, participate in activities and enjoy a strong sense of belonging. You are invited to be social as little or as often as you desire.

We have fantastic neighbours. Providence is a really lovely place to live.
Pam & Pieter
We’re rapt, we love it. We’re so happy we made the move to McAuley.
Alice
When we came to Athelstan, we thought this is it! We just loved it here, the community.
Wynne
Because Corpus Christi is a smaller village, we know everyone here, it’s terrific. A lovely place to live.
June
You’re secure. It’s quiet at St Thomas’. You know everybody and can catch up with them at any stage.
Trevor
I feel at home at Shanagolden. So many people who have become such good friends.

We know you might have lots of questions about our retirement living communities. For more, view our Frequently Asked Question section.
Come and visit us for a tour! We’d love to show you around and introduce you to some of the residents, so you can get a better understanding of what it’s like to live at one of our retirement living communities.
We also recommend that you sign up to our database so you get updates as soon as properties are listed.
Your safety and security are of the utmost importance to us. At all our villages we have staff either one site or on call 24/7. Our staff, neighbours, 24hr call system and CCTV provide great peace of mind for our residents.
Pets are absolutely welcome at all our retirement living communities, but we do ask you seek approval of management first. We want to make sure our communities are a wonderful place for those with and without pets, so we may ask you comply with a few guidelines to ensure a harmonious environment.
VMCH does offer a fantastic range of At-Home Aged Care services. If you need a little extra help at home and in the community, then we can provide the care you need. From cleaning, to shopping and allied health support. To find out more call 1300 698 624.
It’s the people who make our places unique, loving and feel like home.
