Our villas usually sell directly to people on our waiting list, and most never reach the open market.
Offered under an Occupation Right Agreement.
Villa 7 is a one-bedroom independent villa within the village, close to Devonport's waterfront. It is currently under renovation and will be ready in October 2026.
Further details and photographs will be confirmed as the renovation progresses. Contact Judy to register your interest and to receive the current information pack.
Residents enter into an Occupation Right Agreement, which provides a licence to occupy a villa rather than ownership of the underlying freehold title.
An entry payment applies to the selected villa. Residents also pay a monthly Village Outgoings Payment towards the costs of operating and maintaining the village.
When the agreement ends, the exit payment is calculated in accordance with the Occupation Right Agreement, including the applicable Village Contribution and any other amounts owing.
The full terms are contained in the current Occupation Right Agreement and Disclosure Statement. Every intending resident must obtain independent legal advice before signing.
This is a general summary only. The Occupation Right Agreement and Disclosure Statement contain the complete terms and should be reviewed with your independent lawyer.
A monthly Village Outgoings Payment applies and contributes to the operating and maintenance costs of the village. The amount may change as village outgoings change. Contact Judy for the current amount and a copy of the latest Disclosure Statement.
Devonport Retirement Village is an independent-living village. It does not provide rest-home, hospital, nursing or operator-provided care services.
Residents may arrange their own external services where required. A resident's individual circumstances, health needs and ability to continue living safely in their villa should be discussed with their family, health professionals and the village.
Choosing a retirement village is often a family decision. We encourage prospective residents and their families to visit the village, ask questions, review the Disclosure Statement and Occupation Right Agreement carefully, and obtain independent legal advice.
Judy can explain the day-to-day experience of living at the village and provide the current information pack. Your lawyer should advise you on the legal and financial terms.
If you're not ready to visit yet, that's completely fine. Ask Judy for the current information pack — the village, the villas, how an Occupation Right Agreement works, and what the ongoing costs are. No obligation, and no one will chase you.
No. Residents enter into an Occupation Right Agreement that provides a licence to occupy the villa. The underlying title remains with the operator.
Our emphasis is on care at home. Residents live independently in their own villas, and where extra support is needed, Judy can help arrange home-based care through providers residents choose. Many residents have stayed in their own villa for years, well supported, as their needs have changed. Rest-home, hospital and nursing care are not provided on site.
Pets may be considered with the prior approval of the operator. Please discuss your pet with Judy before making a decision.
Yes — family are welcome to stay, just as they would in your own home. Longer-term arrangements are possible too, including where family come to help provide care. As with any home here, extended stays are subject to the Occupation Right Agreement and village rules.
The operator maintains the common facilities, buildings and shared grounds. Residents remain responsible for their personal belongings and keeping their own villa and immediate surroundings clean and tidy.
A monthly Village Outgoings Payment applies. Contact Judy for the current amount and details of what it covers.
The process and exit payment are governed by the Occupation Right Agreement and Disclosure Statement. These documents should be reviewed with an independent lawyer.
Contact Judy to request the current information pack. When you're ready to look more closely, the full Occupation Right Agreement and Disclosure Statement are provided so you can review them with your lawyer.
