Charles Brownlow Retirement Village - Ryman Healthcare

Our boutique Charles Brownlow Retirement Village is located only 15 minutes from the heart of Geelong in the suburb of Highton. Nestled between parklands and a quaint shopping village, this leafy suburb is a prestigious location featuring scenic hills and the Barwon River. If you live in the area, you’ll know that it’s the ideal setting to embrace everything retirement living has to offer.

At the Charles Brownlow Retirement Village, there’s a lifestyle option to suit everyone, including independent living in villas, and assisted-living apartments for those who need a little more help. As your needs change, options for residential aged care (also known as low care and high care) and specialist dementia care are all available within the same village community.

There’s so much that happens in a Ryman Healthcare village, making them vibrant places to live. Our residents maintain close connections with the wider community and are often involved in a range of activities from art exhibitions to bowling tournaments, and everything in between.

The Charles Brownlow Village has a vast selection of amenities on offer which include: a café, indoor heated swimming pool & spa, bowling green, library, dining and alfresco areas, and cinema, to name a few. Residents love the village environment and can feel connected to their neighbours and friends – whether they enjoy the social life or prefer a little quiet time.

The attention to detail we put into the designs of our villas make a real difference to our residents’ everyday lives. Our villas are light and spacious with well-considered layouts, and have a front and rear patio. Our kitchen designs include stone benchtops with waterfall edges, creating a breakfast bar that becomes the social hub of the kitchen. All villas and apartments have air conditioning and heating to ensure all year long comfort is maintained.

Residents have more time and energy to do the things they love because we look after all the maintenance work including exterior maintenance, lawn mowing and window cleaning -which are all part of the service.

Ryman Healthcare provides resident-friendly terms such as our fixed base weekly fee.* There are no hidden costs or refurbishment fees. Our deferred management fee is capped at 20 percent – one of the lowest in the retirement sector.
