Quick facts

About Berry Park

Berry Park runs two retirement villages in New South Wales. The communities neighbour each other at McFarlanes Road, and community facilities are shared across both. Homes are villas. If you are used to a larger family home, it is worth thinking about how a villa would suit your belongings, your routines and the way you like to host family and friends.

Residents lease their home. The village team looks after all home maintenance, gardens and lawns, so your weekends stay yours. That can be a real relief if you have spent years looking after a larger property and would like to put that time and energy elsewhere. You get a home of your own without the upkeep that usually comes with it. Because you lease rather than buy, it is sensible to ask Berry Park to explain exactly what the lease involves and what it means for your finances before you commit.

Gordon Eacott and Hilton Grugeon AM's private venture is behind the proposed development at Berry Park. Hilton Grugeon AM is Chairman of Hunter Land. Knowing who stands behind a development is a useful starting point when you compare operators, as it tells you whom to ask about plans, contracts and services.

Costs & fees

The cost of a move is usually one of the biggest questions in a downsizing decision, so it pays to get clear answers early. When you speak to the team, ask what you would pay, what is covered by those payments and what you would pay for only if you chose to use it. Ask the same questions of every village you shortlist, so you can compare the answers side by side and judge value for yourself. Writing the answers down as you go will make the comparison much easier later. For a current price, call Berry Park directly on (02) 4061 7070 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in.

Care & lifestyle services

You live independently in your own home, with the village team on hand and a 24-hour emergency call system in every home and the shared facilities. That helps you stay independent for longer. If you are thinking about how safe you would feel living on your own, it is worth visiting and asking the team to show you how the emergency call system works in practice.

Berry Park doesn't currently offer serviced apartments or on-site aged care. At home, 24-hour medical help is available through external providers, and the wellness centre includes gym and rehabilitation facilities. Because the village does not currently offer on-site aged care, it is sensible to think ahead about how your needs might change and how you would arrange support if they did.

Residents share community halls, a men's shed and outdoor recreation areas. They give you places to meet neighbours, stay active and take up a hobby. When you visit, spend some time in these shared spaces, as they will tell you more about daily life than any description can.

What makes Berry Park different

Berry Park puts you in the country, close to supermarkets, health services, hospitals and social hubs. Daily errands stay easy, and medical care is never far away. For many people, being near shops and health services matters more with each passing year, so it is a good idea to check how far each service is from the home you are considering. Visiting in person is the best way to judge whether the surroundings suit you. Berry Park Village is also pet friendly, so your pet can move with you. If a pet is part of your family, raise it early with the team so you understand what is involved.

The partners behind Berry Park's proposed development are an experienced partnership. An experienced team is only one thing to consider, so it is still worth asking about the village's plans, timing and the services you can expect. Gordon Eacott is a veteran developer who has built and co-owned another retirement village in regional New South Wales.
