The most exciting adventure you can take is to live the life

of your dreams

Listen to the gum leaves rustling in the wind

As any of the locals will tell you, living in Melbourne’s well-established eastern suburbs offers the best of both worlds – it’s leafy, relaxed and peaceful, yet everything you need is within easy reach, and the city centre is just 20 minutes away.

Here at The Orchards, you’re surrounded by major parks and reserves, including Currawong Bush Park, the Mullum Mullum Creek Trail and the sprawling Westerfolds Park, to name just a few. You could do a different walk every day for a month! There are great options for shopping, services and entertainment too. The Pines is just a short stroll away, and Westfield Doncaster is around 10 minutes by car or bus (the bus stops right outside the village). You can be soaking up some art and history at Heide within 15 minutes, and it’s also reassuring to know that excellent medical centres and hospitals are nearby too.

Get to know your neighbours (and yourself)

The word ‘retirement’ suggests it’s the end of something, but we think it’s very much the beginning – a time for growth and exploration. That’s why we provide many opportunities to try new things and meet new people, all in a stimulating and supportive environment.

A suite of facilities on the ground floor of the new apartment building opens up possibilities for a range of hobbies and activities. Of course, staying as healthy as possible is an important part of being able to make the most of the extra freedom that retirement brings, so we’ve made it easy to get some exercise with a state-of-the-art indoor pool and well-equipped gym. There are also rooms for healthcare practitioners who are available for consultations on a regular basis.

If you like trying new things, join the club

Sharing food is a great way to connect with people, whether you’re making new friends or catching up with old ones. Among the many exceptional facilities at The Orchards is a bustling café and providore, which offers a range of delicacies and everyday essentials. A private dining room is available if you want to celebrate a special event with those closest to you. And for less formal gatherings, the stylish club lounge and bar, which includes a sunny, spacious alfresco dining area, is always welcoming. You can join in on a wide range of activities throughout the week too, such as exercise and mindful meditation classes, aerobics for beginners, a walking group and a line dancing group, as well as visits to various theatre, arts and sporting events.

Make yourself comfortable, you won’t want to leave

As soon as you walk into your apartment, you feel like you’ve entered a home straight out of the pages of an architecture and design magazine. This isn’t pretentious, though – it’s warm and inviting thanks to the clean lines, contemporary décor and use of carefully selected materials and finishes.

You can choose from a range of clever floor plans, with one, two and three-bedroom options, and many with a separate study space. At the heart of each apartment is a generous, open-plan living room featuring full-height, double-glazed sliding balcony doors and engineered European oak timber floors. Private balconies extend the full width of the apartment, providing enough space for outdoor furniture and a barbecue, and perhaps even a kitchen garden.

Welcome your friends to a feast for the senses

Whether you’re entertaining friends and family or making yourself a snack, you’ll find working in your kitchen an absolute pleasure. Caesarstone bench tops look stunning but are delightfully easy to maintain. Miele appliances in a stainless steel finish are both sleek and highly efficient, while lighting integrated into the overhead cabinets and features like pull-out pantry shelves and bin drawers are beautifully practical.

Your comfort and security haven’t been neglected either. All opening windows and sliding doors have integrated fly screens to let in the breeze, but not the bugs. Recessed LED lights and reverse-cycle air conditioning are energy efficient, and rich, wool-blend carpets in the bedrooms feel luxurious under your feet. Visitor access is controlled with an intercom system and remote door release into the lobby and there is, of course, an emergency call system monitored 24 hours a day.

Don’t feel like you have to do everything

As operators of The Orchards, Baptcare is dedicated to taking care of you and your home. Founded over 70 years ago, Baptcare is a not-for-profit organisation that has grown to become one of Victoria’s largest and most trusted retirement living and aged care providers.

We offer all of our residents a choice of affordable domestic and hospitality services, including nutritious and delicious meals, laundry, transport services and housekeeping. We can even take your dog for a walk or look after your balcony garden. Specialised care and support is also available to help you remain living independently for as long as possible. If you eventually require residential aged care, we can help with the transition into our on-site facility so that you can remain in the community that you’ve come to call home.
