Arcadia Group is a family-run business, located in Subiaco, Western Australia and has steadily expanded and established itself as a leading retirement living operator and developer.

The Group has a portfolio of ten retirement communities in Western Australia and Victoria.

To enter La Dimora, you must be over 55 and capable of living independently.

It is important to note that retirement villages are often mistaken for aged care facilities, which cater to elderly individuals who require assistance with daily living.

All villas at La Dimora Retirement Resort are occupied on a ‘Lease for Life’ basis. All details of these arrangements can be found in your chosen contract.

Of course, you can – your home is yours. We do ask that you inform your Village Manager if you intend to have a guest for an extended period.

Visitors are welcome to stay in your home for up to 13 weeks in any calendar year.

Pets are welcome at La Dimora and, to ensure the comfort and security of all our residents, they are subject to the approval of the Village Manager.

Yes, your family are more than welcome to visit you and use the facilities at Hidden Valley Resort under your supervision at a cost.

Please speak to reception for further details.

The resident is responsible for keeping the villa in good tenantable repair.

The resident is also responsible for all fixtures and fittings, internal maintenance, yearly service of air conditioner and roller door, cleaning of the villa and maintaining their own improvements.

Alterations must be approved by the Village Manager if structural changes or changes to fixtures and fittings are required.

La Dimora is responsible for the upkeep of common grounds, structural repairs, external painting program, pest control and termite inspections and building insurance.

All our villas have been built with ample storage, a lock-up garage and additional storage.

We work with residents on an individual basis for any additional storage requirements.

If you require storage, please contact your Village Manager to explore suitable options available.

La Dimora insures the communal areas. They are covered by a comprehensive insurance policy which is paid for as part of your monthly maintenance fee.

You will need your own contents insurance.

La Dimora is gated with all access points requiring a password.

All streets have CCTV installed and inside all villas there is a 24-hour external assist monitoring system installed.

For added peace of mind, all villas feature a 24-hour in-home emergency call system.

All Arcadia Group retirement communities are regulated by the Retirement Villages Act that applies in the state in which the community is located.

A key purpose of this legislation is to provide protection to retirement village residents in respect of their entry into, living in and leaving a retirement community.

Any complaint should initially be directed to the Village Manager.

As a resident, you also have the choice of raising any concerns through the Residents’ Committee.

Like most Retirement Village operators, La Dimora has a Deferred Management Fee (DMF) model which is a way for incoming residents to pay part of their costs after they move out, saving money upfront so they have more to spend on enjoying their lifestyle during their stay.

However, the structure of these fees is dependent on the financial contract chosen.

A detailed explanation of the available financial models can be found in the La Dimora Financial Brochure.

During your stay you will pay a monthly operating cost, which helps cover the running costs of the Village and amenities and keep the Village maintained to an extremely high standard.

The monthly operating costs are annually estimated and provisionally fixed by Arcadia Group. They are determined after the end of each fiscal year.

Hidden Valley Membership is an additional cost, however as a resident of La Dimora Retirement Resort, you receive an exclusive discount.

Your resort membership provides five-day golf access Monday to Friday, use of the indoor heated pool, gymnasium, pickleball and tennis courts, and bowling green.

Residents pay charges for a reduced electricity tariff, telephone and other services consumed in their own villas.

All villas have fibre optic installed so this eliminates the need for antennas and satellite dishes.

Residents are also responsible for their local council rates and water rates.

After a resident has vacated the villa, they are only responsible for the next six months of the monthly operating costs.

Following six months, Arcadia Group will continue to pay these charges.

Dependent upon the contract type you selected when you entered the village, when you terminate your Lease for Life with La Dimora Retirement Resort, you will pay the refurbishment costs to bring your home back to near its original state.

This helps raise the potential sales price of your home and makes it more attractive to potential buyers.

This will be an agreed upon amount by you and La Dimora Management.
