Since 2012, Qestral has been on a mission to help retirees achieve good health and happiness. Qestral’s directors and shareholders have an unsurpassed amount of aged care experience and its founders, John Ryder, Simon O’Dowd, and Jeremy O’Dowd took a good hard look at what was then available in the sector, coming up with what they believed was where the market needed to go. “We just want people to feel like they are living in a real home, and we go to some effort to create urban designs that are more akin to a subdivision than a traditional retirement village,” says Simon. “ We believed designing and building places, spaces, facilities, and homes we could be proud of was really important.” Qestral spends a lot of time on urban design ensuring homes are positioned for the sun, and with about double the amount of land area competitors would ordinarily offer. Qestral goes to great lengths to ensure there is some individuality amongst the designs of its homes and offers a wide range of styles and confgurations, all with private outdoor living areas and generous indoor-outdoor flow. Extensive maintenance and gardening teams mean residents can decide whether they want to do a little or a lot, or none of their outdoor work at all. Simon says people move into villages because they want security, a connected community, with healthcare on site. Once development at Burlington Village is complete, the village will have 190 individual homes, 30 of which on the water front of the 3ha of lakes in the middle of the village. The state of the art, two-storey pavillion building features 42 serviced apartments in a variety of sizes, each with its own private deck or balcony area. A single level rest home and hospital facility has 60 rooms each with their own ranch slider leading to expansive decking, and a separate single level boutique dementia facility has 20 rooms, each with a ranch slider leading to a deck in a secure setting. As well as apartments, the pavillion building has a bar, restaurant, bakery, cafe, movie theatre, wellness centre, gym, heated pool
