Quick facts

About Sunnycove

Sunnycove runs one retirement community in Queensland, on the Sunshine Coast, and every unit sits on one level with no steps. The village is built around independent living, with access to local public transport for getting out and about. Because there is only one community, the details below apply to a single village rather than a network, which makes it easier to know exactly what you are looking at.

Residents rent their home, and Sunnycove looks after the landscaped gardens and grounds. That leaves your time free for family, friends and the social life around you. Self-funded retirees and pensioners are both welcome. If you are downsizing, a rental arrangement is a different proposition from buying, so it helps to think about what you want from the place you live and how long you expect to stay.

The Sunnycove Maroochydore business name is registered to The Trustee for Lo Family Trust. The village is strata titled, with units predominantly owned by investors and rented out to seniors. Knowing how a village is owned and run is a useful part of any decision of this size, so ask the team to explain the arrangement when you enquire.

Costs & fees

The cost of living at Sunnycove depends on what your weekly rent includes. For a current price, call Sunnycove directly on 0434 717 959 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. When you speak to the team, ask what the weekly rent covers and what is not included, so you can compare Sunnycove with other places you are considering. Asking for the details in writing also makes it easier to talk the figures through with family or an adviser before you decide.

Care & lifestyle services

Sunnycove is built for independent living, and extra help can be added at home as your needs change, so you can stay independent in your own home for longer. Government and support groups, including Home Care, deliver that care where you live, and carers and volunteer groups are welcome to support your health and wellbeing. If you think you may need more help later, ask how people at the village arrange it, so you know what the process looks like before you move in.

Sunnycove has no serviced apartments or on-site care. Instead, you arrange the help you need at home and keep living in the place you know, with three meals a day, seven days a week, still part of village life. That arrangement suits people who want to stay independent while taking everyday cooking off their list.

Covered walkways give you step-free access to the Community Room, Community Dining and your neighbours. A cafe, hairdresser and vegetable gardens are also on site, so there is always somewhere to meet people or enjoy a quiet hour. Check the listing for the facilities that are available, since the details can differ from one listing to the next.

What makes Sunnycove different

Sunnycove is rental only, so there are no buy-in fees and no expensive upfront fees. That keeps the cost of moving in low and lets you start village life without tying up a large sum. When you are downsizing, that can be a useful point to weigh against buying into a village.

Meals are the other strong point. Three meals a day, seven days a week, mean you never need to shop or cook, and the meals are included in the weekly rent.

Day-to-day security and a say in village life count too. A residents committee gives you a voice, and medical alert to an external call centre and CCTV security support your safety at home. These are the kinds of features worth seeing for yourself on a visit, so you can judge whether they suit the way you like to live.
