The best of Europe in Australia

Tried and tested in Europe for decades, yet almost unique to Australia, this boutique shared care-home at Coorabell near Byron Bay, has just six bedrooms.  That’s why we can truly call this aged care reimagined.

It’s a place where seniors want to be. Where you’ll never see a uniform, a stainless steel trolley or vinyl floor. Just a beautiful Queenslander with stunning valley views and permanent live-in support from a small team, providing the highest quality personalised care.
