Queensland Seniors Month is an opportunity to celebrate the contribution older Queenslanders make.
Have a look around.
From the pool to the café and the rooms in between, here's where the day tends to go.
The pool
Heated, and busy from 7am. Ask David.
Azure Blue Café
Lunch, a cuppa, or the long version of both.
The view
The jetty, a short walk away. It doesn't get old.
The peninsula
Everything is right here at your doorstep.
And he is not the only one.
A lifetime of service
50 years of giving back to the community
Café Blue
1,000 ANZAC biscuits, one oven
Andy, the chef downstairs, baked over a thousand of them for village residents across South East Queensland. It started as a simple idea.
7am everyday in the pool
David's full story
Morning swims, doughnuts on the weekly shopping run, beach walks with his daughters. The long version of the video.
There's something on most days here.
At 122 apartments this village sits close to everything, so the calendar runs half inside the building and half down the road. What's below is illustrative; the actual program comes from the village and it's residents.
EVERY MORNING
A swim before breakfast
The pool's heated and the 7am crowd is loyal.
WEEKLY
The shopping bus
A bus load of neighbours, a doughnut and a coffee, then everyone scatters..
MOST WEEKS
Café Blue catch-ups
Morning teas, birthdays and whatever needs celebrating.
EVERY SUNDAY
The markets on the Parade
Not ours, but a kilometre away and hard to beat.
The four numbers.
No form to complete, no "request a copy". They're just here, whether you ever ring us or not.
One thing worth saying plainly: You buy into a village here, you don't rent.
You'll see the word lease in our contracts, and it's fair enough to read that as renting — it isn't. A lease here means you pay an ingoing contribution once, the home is yours for as long as you want it, and most of that money comes back when you leave. No weekly rent, no landlord deciding whether you can stay.
Which does mean it isn't the right fit for everyone, and we'd rather you knew now than after a phone call. If renting is what you're after, here's where to start looking instead — a different part of the housing system, with people who do it far better than we would.
A few homes to get you started.
Take a look at a few of the homes you’ll find at Azure Blue Redcliffe.
Come and
say hello.
Come by for a cuppa and a look around. We’ll organise a time that suits, introduce you to the village and answer any questions you have along the way.
Say hello to Mark.
Mark looks after Azure Blue Redcliffe and can organise a time to visit, show you a few apartments and chat through any questions. If you're coming by bus, it stops right out the front.

Plan a visit
Choose a day that suits and come in for a look around, a cuppa and a chat with the team.
Bring whoever you like
Your daughter, a friend, the one who asks the awkward questions. Everyone gets the same information — no side conversations, no surprises.
Or ring Mark
Prefer to organise it first? Mark can arrange a time to visit and make sure someone is ready to welcome you.
Ready when you're ready
Things people actually ask.
The ones that come up on the phone most often, answered here so you don't have to ring and ask.
Yes — pets are welcome with prior approval. Have a chat with the village team before you move in so everything can be sorted.
Absolutely. Let the village office know when someone's staying overnight, and be home while they're here. Anything longer than 14 nights in a row, 60 nights across a year, or more than four guests at once needs a quick OK first.
If you're moving in on your own, you need to be at least 65. For couples, one person must be 65 or over and the other at least 60.
No. Every apartment has its own car park in the secure resident parking, and there's parking for visitors.
Yes. Every apartment is connected to an emergency help system monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and it's included in the weekly charge.
Usually, yes. Have a chat with the village manager or sales team first so any changes meet the right standards. Worth knowing: changes you make are generally yours to put back when you leave.
Yes. BlueCare Redcliffe Aged Care Facility is on the same site. Living in the village doesn't reserve you a place, though. You'd need an aged care assessment like anyone else, aged care sits under different laws from the village, and a move across may mean a new contract and an exit fee on your apartment.
Yes. BlueCare home care can come to your apartment, from a hand with the cleaning through to nursing and personal care. You're free to choose a different provider if you'd rather.
There is a Peace of Mind Guarantee. If you decide to leave within three months of your lease starting, your ingoing contribution is refunded and the exit fee is waived. You’ll still need to cover the usual village charges for the time you were there, along with any applicable costs.
Yes. The bus stops out the front, and Kippa-Ring station, about 2.5km away, runs trains into the city. The village bus also does a weekly shopping run.
Every apartment has a step-free shower and a toilet that works with a wheelchair. Lift or level access and wider doorways vary between apartments, so ask Mark about the specific one you're looking at.
Not yet? That's completely fine.
Most people arrive about three years later than they meant to. There's no hurry from us — have a read, keep the numbers, and come back when something changes. Nothing on this page disappears behind a form in the meantime.
