Yes. However, in each unit there must be at least one retired person. This means that at least one resident in each unit must have attained 55 years of age and be retired from full-time employment.
Our retirement properties are designed for retirees or those over 55 years that are able to live independently. Living at one of our sites enables residents to enjoy all the normal aspects of living in their own home but without many of the burdens of home and garden maintenance that are required at a standard residential property. Southern Cross Care is committed to providing a place for all residents to live a connected, relaxing and enjoyable life after retirement.
Residents pay a premium to Southern Cross Care. This premium is paid as follows: First, a reservation fee of $5,000 is paid to Southern Cross Care when application for a villa is made. The balance of the premium is paid on the date specified for settlement.
The amount of the premium varies depending on the villa size, number of bedrooms, floor plan style, location, aspect, flooring type, etc. Each architecturally designed villa has been styled by an interior designer and comes complete with extensive, high-quality fixtures and fittings, including Westinghouse kitchen appliances. Detailed specifications are available.
The Mornington does have limited space for caravans & boat storage. Subject to availability and management discretion, there is currently no extra charge for this.
