Sitting pretty’ is a great way to describe our Kevin Hickman Retirement Village, as everywhere you turn there is something to see. Views overlook the racecourse, the feature pond, bowling green or lush manicured gardens, it could be easy to forget that you’re actually in a really convenient city location.
Community is central to the lifestyle at a Ryman village,
and we’ve set the scene for an easy townhouse lifestyle.
Scenic pathways and pocket parks weave their way around our tranquil townhouse streets and along to the raceway boulevard, all within the safety of the village. It promotes a feeling of connection to your like-minded neighbours, although you may need to factor in some ‘chat time’ along the way.
Remember when Saturday night at the movies was the highlight of the week. We’ve recreated that old-school movie magic with our very own cinema. Complete with acoustic wall treatments, ceiling mouldings and ambient feature lighting, you can step into a world of movies without even leaving the village.
Whether you’ve had a workout in our fully-equipped gym or it’s simply time to relax, our luxurious indoor pool and spa is just the tonic you need. Both pool and spa feature Italian tiles with curved seating where you can unwind and admire the ambiance of the living plant wall, or take in the view from the picturesque windows.
Everything about our townhouses says easy living. From the clean lines and clever design layout, to the tranquil exterior surroundings that make you feel like you’re on holiday with your own furniture.
Natural ambient light filters through a picturesque window in your living area, while a neutral colour palette lets you add your own personality to the interior. Your master bedroom offers plenty of storage in your walk-in-wardrobe, that also leads through to your ensuite bathroom.
So, whether you’re entertaining or relishing a quiet night in, your townhouse enables you to go with the flow. It’s an easy lifestyle, it’s a townhouse lifestyle.

Like our townhouses, independent apartments have all the upsides of an independent lifestyle. Plus, that same bonus of being surrounded by a supportive, vibrant community.
Our two and three-bedroom apartments are designed with the over 70s in mind. They’re light and inviting with an easy flow throughout, and include patio or balcony options that showcase views of the raceway or the village gardens. Pocket parks and walkways are woven throughout the village, including a scenic boulevard that ambles along the raceway boundary.
The icing on the cake, exterior maintenance and window cleaning are all part of the service. So, you’ll have more time and energy to enjoy the things you really love.
Clean lines and a clever open plan design layout mean the living is easy in an independent apartment. It’s your gateway to enjoying all the perks of living in a village uniquely set on a racecourse!
Natural ambient light filters through full-height windows leading to your balcony or patio, while a neutral colour palette lets you add your own personality to the interior. Everything about the space is warm and inviting and that feeling blends seamlessly from room to room.
So, whether you’re entertaining or relishing a quiet night in, your apartment enables you to go with the flow. It’s an easy lifestyle, it’s an apartment lifestyle.

Often viewed as the social hub of any home, your kitchen has been designed to include a wide Corian benchtop with a waterfall edge, and an overhang that creates a seated breakfast bar. Clean lines are themed throughout with an undermount sink, Italian floor tiles, kitchen cabinetry finessed with a bulkhead, and pelmet lighting to illuminate the stovetop. For that extra touch of class, there’s a generous fridge cavity that is pre-plumbed for water and ice.
Your bathroom has received the same class treatment, with Italian tiling that includes wall tiles extending to full ceiling height. A seamless flow continues with a level-entry, fully tiled shower. Fixtures and fittings are modern yet timeless, and we’ve added some clever shelving and light fittings behind the vanity to make personal grooming a cinch.
Your laundry area provides a purpose-built tub and useful cupboard space to maximise storage.

Serviced apartments come with perks that make life easier, like housekeeping and a
chef-prepared meal every day. It’s great for you, and reassuring for your family, because they know you’re being looked after.
Apartments are in the heart of the village, with easy access to everything the village has to offer. Your balcony or patio is a great place to watch the racing action, or to open up your door and let the sights and sounds of village life float into your apartment.
It’s the feeling of togetherness that’s the real icing on the cake for serviced apartment residents. With a variety of outings, regular transport options and endless opportunities to join in with activities when you feel like it. It’s a fulfilled lifestyle, it’s a serviced apartment lifestyle.
The living is certainly easy in our beautiful serviced apartments. Light and spacious with a seamless flow throughout, you’ll find everything is at your fingertips.
You’ll have a kitchenette with a fridge-freezer and microwave, a separate bedroom and a private ensuite. Call bells mean help is always there, as they are monitored 24 hours a day by on-site staff.
Natural ambient light filters through full-height glass windows in your living area which includes a sliding door that flows through to your balcony. A neutral colour palette means you can style and furnish your apartment just the way you like it.
Your kitchenette incorporates clean lines that include a Corian benchtop, an undermount sink and kitchen cabinetry finessed with a bulkhead. Contemporary lighting and fixtures, as well as Italian floor tiles, create a space that is functional but with a touch of class. The well-appointed living area provides you with a blank canvas to furnish and style.
Once again, functionality and class come into play for your bathroom. A level-entry, fully tiled shower creates a seamless flow. Clever storage has been incorporated into the vanity and mirror, along with modern lighting to make personal grooming a cinch.

Care is not an ‘add on’ at a Ryman village, it is built into
the fabric of our villages from the very first design concepts. It’s comforting for couples and friends to know they can still be near each other even if their health needs are different.
Our levels of care include rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. Private rooms are spacious and air conditioned, with call bells in every room and ensuite. A neutral colour palette means you can add your own stylish flourishes or home comforts like your favourite armchair.
We constantly look for ways to improve both the care we provide and the innovation behind it. Our myRyman Care app enables nurses and carers to view and update information about each resident in their private room. And of course, meals are a highlight because the food tastes great. Our seasonal Delicious menu offers flavoursome meals with choice that
are made fresh on site by our village chefs.

The story of a Ryman village begins with our experienced in-house development and design teams, who dream big and deliver on their ideas, whether they’re large, medium or small-scale projects. Expert architects create a customised village design that complements each
site, pays homage to the surrounding community, and produces the perfect home for you.
Our experience spans across a wide range of genres, including master-planning, architecture, exteriors, visualisation and refurbishment. Construction drawings and sales plans* are also created in-house, along with our own construction team. And to make a house a home, our interior design team create a beautiful canvas for your home, leaving you to add the finishing touches.
