At the leafy end of Abbott’s Lane, a clearing unfolds; gently sloping towards the natural edge of Dawson Creek as it gurgles cheerfully across the field; and the selected site for ‘Strathbrook’ Retirement Village. An unsurpassed position flawlessly capturing the essence of a move to the country - delight in crisp fresh air and buckets of sunshine, trickling water and towering gums.

Strathbrook Retirement Village is to be an engaging, vibrant community of eighty four residential units, genuinely focused on security, companionship and independence. You will be warmly welcomed into a village of like-minded friends of similar age, and of professional caring staff, equipped with a ready ear for any concerns.

Our affordable villas are contemporary, secure and customisable. Intended to flexibly adapt to your needs over time, you will find the ‘ageing friendly’ spaces grow along with you. Heritage styled architecture will complement the natural setting, and with a choice of three floor plans, and four colour schemes there will be a design to match your requirements. Motor vehicles are securely garaged and there is provision for visitor parking throughout the village. Rest assured that your safety is well catered for - as a gated community you can wander the paths and gardens in comfort, ensuring you never miss out on the magical, soft light of early evening.

The focal point of Strathbrook is to be its welcoming Leisure Centre. A hub for social activity, it will incorporate multiple spaces for different moods, set amidst attractively landscaped gardens alive with colour and scent. There are several places where you may choose to meet family and friends, share a cuppa, or just visit alone to read a book, in a setting away from your own residence. Comforts abound, and you are most welcome to take advantage of them all. Meandering pathways will lead to the Centre from every unit.

Embrace the laid-back lifestyle intrinsic to Strathalbyn - full home and garden maintenance will allow you ever-lasting leisure time. And what a location to enjoy it in! The village is within strolling distance of the town centre; take afternoon tea in a cosy cafe, browse the specialty boutiques, or picnic in the fabulous parklands, at the waters edge, accompanied by a melody of birdsong.

A Strathalbyn address puts you on the doorstep of the Fleurieu Peninsula, celebrated Langhorne Creek vineyards, Goolwa Coast and Victor Harbour, plus the striking Coorong National Park. Additionally, rapidly developing Mt Barker is a short drive away, providing an extensive retail precinct just 20 minutes from home.

For a wonderful day out, without the bother of driving, step aboard the Southern Encounter train – a ride through the country side on a lazy Sunday sounds just the thing – the journey runs from Mt Barker through Strathalbyn and onto Victor Harbour, before returning in the afternoon, perhaps after a scrumptious lunch at the seaside…
