Welcome to Bartells Group Retirement Living
At Bartells Group, retirement isn’t just a new stage of life, it’s a time to enjoy more space, more freedom, and more of what makes you happy. We design villages where comfort, community, and independence go hand in hand, offering homes that give you the space to live life your way.
A Fresh Approach to Retirement Living
Spacious Homes, Designed for Comfort
Our single-level villas are built with generous layouts, private outdoor areas, and quality finishes - giving you the room to relax, entertain, and feel truly at ease.
More Lifestyle, Less Worry
Enjoy a high standard of living without the high costs. Our affordable weekly fees mean you can focus on what matters most, without unexpected expenses.
A Place to Feel Connected
Retirement is about choice, whether that’s time to yourself or the chance to meet new people. Our villages make it easy to enjoy both, with welcoming communities, social activities, and a relaxed, country-town feel.
Why Provincial Living?
By choosing locations with space to spare, we can build retirement communities that feel open and inviting. Away from the congestion of city life, our villages offer a peaceful setting while keeping everything you need close by.
-
More Space, More Possibilities – Larger sections, private gardens, and open green spaces.
-
A Quieter, More Relaxed Pace – Enjoy fresh air, beautiful scenery, and a stress-free lifestyle.
-
A Supportive Community – Independent living with the reassurance of friendly neighbours and a welcoming environment.
