Quick facts

About Quintess

Quintess is a single boutique retirement community in Queensland, made up of architect-designed villas. Every villa comes with parking. For anyone moving from a larger family home, a villa can be an appealing way to keep a home of your own while reducing the space and the upkeep that come with it.

Living here is low-maintenance by design. The residences are planned for effortless living, so you spend less time on upkeep and more time with the people and facilities around you. A community park adds more room to get outdoors. That can be a pleasant extra for people who like fresh air and a change of scenery. When you visit, it is worth walking through a villa and the shared spaces to judge how the layout would suit your own routine, your furniture and the way you like to spend your days.

Quintess is owned by Adrian Barnett, its founder and director. If you want to understand who is behind the community, that is the name to ask about when you make contact, and it is reasonable to put any questions about the community to the team directly.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Quintess directly on 1800 322 044 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. Prices are best confirmed with the team rather than estimated from a general page like this one. When you get in touch, ask what the price includes, what you would pay on an ongoing basis and what happens when you eventually leave or sell. Having those answers in writing makes it much easier to compare Quintess with the other options on your list, and to plan the financial side of a move with confidence. It also helps to work out in advance what you would do with the proceeds of your current home and how a move would fit with your longer-term plans.

Care & lifestyle services

Quintess offers independent living, with support brought to you by visiting allied health professionals. That helps you stay independent in your own home for longer. Residents enjoy weekly remedial massage, regular physiotherapy, monthly podiatry and visiting hearing specialists, all within the village.

Quintess has no serviced apartments or on-site residential aged care. Instead, health services visit the village, and a professional chef sends freshly made takeaway meals to residents every fortnight. If you think you may need more support in future, it is sensible to ask early how extra help would be arranged and who would provide it, so you understand your options before you move rather than after. Ask the team which of the visiting services are offered on a regular schedule, and how you would book an appointment, so there are no surprises once you are settled in.

Residents enjoy a heated outdoor swimming pool, gym, library and lawn bowls, along with a function area that has a commercial-style kitchen and bar. Free exercise groups run twice a week, the wellbeing studio hosts yoga and meditation, and pets are welcome. Think about which of these you would actually use each week, since the facilities that fit your habits are the ones that will make the biggest difference to daily life.

What makes Quintess different

Quintess pairs villas designed by Plus Architecture with resort-style facilities in a boutique community. You get low-maintenance living at home and a pool, gym and lawn bowls close by. Villa prices are published openly on the Quintess website and on this listing, so you can see what is on offer before you pick up the phone. Having prices in the open makes it easier to work out early whether Quintess fits your budget, and to prepare better questions for the team when you do call.

A visit is the best way to see how these features come together. Take a list of the things that matter most to you, such as the size of the villa, the facilities you expect to use and the support you may want over time, and check each one against what you see on the day.
