The facility would offer only suites,
with each unit comprising a bedroom,
a dining area, kitchenette and a sitting
room. In addition to this, every suite
would have its own balcony and have
access to a host of facilities to make
the residents’ stay as comfortable as
possible.
The six-level facility will be located on
a hill overlooking a bend in the Yarra
River next to Alexandra Avenue and
opposite Herring Island. Describing
the latest venture of Australian Aged
Care, John Matthies says, “I am in the
process of doing another aged care
facility which is called Alexandra on
the Park in South Yarra.
“I personally think South Yarra is
Melbourne’s premier suburb and is
the ideal location for a six star facility.
I have been overseas to look at the
best facilities that are available. This
project in South Yarra will be the
world’s first six star facility that will
be of a similar standard to the best
six star hotel in Australia with all the
latest technology.
“All the units will be suites which is
unusual for an aged care facility but
they are much larger than anyone
has done previously, ranging from 54
metres square to 145 metres square,
with high ceilings and luxurious
fittings.
