Home prices vary depending on the size of the home, other design features and whether it is new or pre-occupied. Prices for homes currently available will be provided on request. There may also be a range of upgrade options possible if construction of your home is not yet completed.

Our contract form is a Long Term Lease so when you move in, you pay a lump sum in return for the right to occupy your home for up to 49 years and to access the village facilities. The underlying ownership is retained by the village owner and no stamp duty is payable.

In addition, you will pay a monthly service fee which covers the ongoing operational costs of the village. Annual increases in service fees are generally limited to CPI in accordance with the Retirement Villages Act.

Further details are provided in the Factsheet- available on request

Yourself or your spouse or partner must be at least 55 years of age or permanently retired to reside at Bridgewater. Whilst many of our residents are fully retired, others are still actively employed. You can remain working as long as you do not use your home or the facilities as a place of business.

If you choose Benetas to manage the resale process, you refund will be paid within 14 days of settlement by the next incoming resident.

Building insurance is covered through your monthly service fees. You are responsible for council and water rates for your home and for insuring your contents and your own personal effects.
