SERVICED APARTMENTS
Independence with support close at hand
When you're ready for ease without compromise.
When the daily rhythm of cooking three meals, managing a household, and staying on top of maintenance feels like more than you want to take on, our serviced apartments offer a graceful transition.
Studio rooms within the heritage-listed Kenilworth House, where meals, cleaning, and linen are all taken care of, leaving you free to enjoy your days as you choose.
What's a Serviced Apartment?
Our 16 serviced apartments are single-level studio rooms located in Kenilworth House, the grand Federation-style homestead at the heart of the village. Each apartment features a kitchenette and private bathroom, with breakfast delivered to your door and lunch and dinner served in the light-filled dining room overlooking the gardens.
It’s independent living with the convenience of hotel-like service and the security of 24/7 care.

Flexible living
For longer-term residents:

For short-term stays:
Perfect for recuperation after a hospital stay, between homes during a transition, or while exploring whether Kenilworth Gardens is the right fit for you. Month to month and no long-term commitment required.
No exit fees:
When you’re ready to leave, there are no departure fees or deferred management fees. Simple, straightforward rental arrangement.
Life in Kenilworth House
Living in Kenilworth House means you’re at the centre of village life. The dining room becomes a natural gathering place for meals. Some residents prefer to dine in their rooms, others enjoy the social atmosphere of shared meals. The library, billiards room, and lounge areas are all yours to use. This house is your home.
The 109-year-old house has a warmth and character that modern buildings simply can’t replicate. High ceilings, fireplaces, verandahs, and views across the gardens create an atmosphere that many residents describe as feeling like home.
What residents say
Many residents who move from villas into serviced apartments say they wish they’d done it sooner. The relief of not managing meals and household tasks, combined with the social atmosphere of Kenilworth House, makes daily life easier and often more enjoyable.
Residents describe the care team in the house as extended family – people who know them, understand their preferences, and genuinely care about their well-being.
