Independent Retirement Living in Canterbury

Step inside a home designed to make everyday living simpler, more beautiful and more connected. Each two- or three-bedroom apartment at Hester Canterbury combines timeless elegance with everyday comfort. These retirement apartments in Melbourne give you a foundation for independence while keeping you part of a vibrant retirement community.

You’ll enjoy open-plan living spaces filled with natural light, modern kitchens that bring comfort and ease, and bedrooms that offer both rest and privacy with generous wardrobes and well-considered ensuites. All apartments include private balconies overlooking courtyard gardens-
or tree-lined streets, while most also feature a fitted study — a quiet place for work, reading, or creativity. Clever storage is built into every home, giving you freedom and order.

Peace of mind comes naturally with built-in features: secure underground parking with direct lift access, video intercom and a monitored emergency call system. More than just apartments, these homes become part of a fabric of belonging and transformation — blending independence and community into every day. Unlike a traditional retirement village or retirement home, here you’ll find a lifestyle that feels personal, uplifting and full of possibility.

Shared Spaces

Extending Your Home

At Hester Canterbury, life extends beyond your own front door. Shared spaces are designed to bring people together, inspire creativity and spark joy. They feel like natural extensions of your home — places to gather, reflect and enjoy the spirit of independent retirement living. 

You’ll arrive through a light-filled grand foyer that sets the tone for welcome and connection. A stylish club lounge with bar, coffee and fireplace invites you to share a conversation or take a quiet pause. Dining rooms create spaces for community events or intimate meals. A library, overlooking landscaped gardens, offers carefully chosen books to awaken imagination. A cinema lets stories come alive and memories be shared. A fully equipped gym supports wellbeing and gentle movement, while manicured gardens invite tranquillity, laughter and time with friends outdoors. 

Every detail has been shaped to awaken curiosity, nurture dignity and create moments of belonging and joy. More than just a retirement village in Canterbury, these spaces reflect the vision of modern retirement living in Melbourne — where transformation, confidence and connection are woven into daily life
