Quick facts

About Marston Living

Marston Living's communities are concentrated in Sydney, so you can compare several settings without leaving the city. Some communities offer apartments, others villas or units, so you can choose the style of home that suits you. Each community focuses on independent retirement living. That focus matters if you are still active and want a home of your own, because it means the emphasis is on your independence rather than on care being built into daily life. When you tour, it is worth thinking about how much space you want, how far you are prepared to travel to see family and friends, and which setting feels most like somewhere you could call home.

Residents lease their home, and Marston Living manages the communal areas, buildings and gardens. It also handles building insurance and council requirements, which leaves you more time for friends, family and travel. Having someone else take care of those jobs can make a real difference to your week, so ask exactly which tasks are covered and which remain your own responsibility inside the home.

Marston Group is the current owner of Marston Living, which operates as one of its subsidiaries. Knowing who owns the business is a sensible part of any comparison, since it tells you who stands behind the community you are considering.

Costs & fees

For a current price, call Marston Living directly on 02 9188 8555 or enquire through the listing for the community you're interested in. Because prices and contract terms are best confirmed at the source, ask for the details in writing and compare them carefully with any other village you are considering. It helps to ask what you pay when you move in, what you pay while you live there and what happens when you eventually leave, so that you can judge the full cost rather than just the headline figure.

Care & lifestyle services

Marston Living is independent retirement living, with support you can add as your needs change. Staff connect you with in-home aged care services, medical practitioners and meal deliveries, all delivered by external providers. This approach suits people who want to stay in charge of their own routine and bring in help only when it is needed, rather than paying up front for services they may not use for some time.

Marston Living does not provide on-site aged care at any community. Instead, the focus is on helping you arrange what you need at home, so you can keep living independently for as long as possible. If you think your needs may change, it is worth asking each community how the staff go about arranging in-home help, and what you would do if you later wanted a different kind of care.

Resort-style amenities include landscaped gardens, communal lounges, fitness centres and organised social activities. When you visit, think about which of these you would use every week and which you might only use now and then, because that is the best way to judge whether the lifestyle really suits you.

What makes Marston Living different

At Beacon Hill, residents are Registered Interest Holders on the title, which entitles you to set your own sale price and select your own sale agent when you depart. Prices and fees are published openly, so you can see what living with Marston Living involves before you enquire. Being able to read the figures before you commit makes it easier to compare Marston Living with other providers on equal terms.

Marston Living builds with an emphasis on craftsmanship, design and community, backed by a long track record in retirement living. When you visit, look closely at the finish of the homes and the way the shared spaces are laid out, and ask yourself whether the place feels like somewhere you would want to spend your days.
