Pet Friendly Retirement Villages
The Perfect Home for You and Your Pet
For many Australians, pets are more than just companions – they are family. If you want to downsize without leaving your pet behind, a pet-friendly retirement village might be the perfect solution. At Aura, we understand the important role pets play in our residents’ lives, so we offer pet-friendly retirement villages for sale across Brisbane, the Gold Coast, the Sunshine Coast and Toowoomba.
Why Choose a Pet-Friendly Retirement Village?
Pets provide countless benefits, especially as we age. They help reduce loneliness, encourage physical activity, and improve mental health. Studies show that pet ownership can lead to a more active lifestyle, better cardiovascular health, and even a slower rate of cognitive decline. Whether it’s the daily walks with your dog or the comfort of having a cat curled up beside you, pets bring joy and structure to life.

Life with Pets in a Retirement Community

Peter and Carol’s Story: “We looked at many retirement villages that allow dogs, but none were as genuinely pet-friendly as Aura. Our puppy Taffee is a cherished part of the community at The Pavilion.”
Lola and Dolly’s story: “My Cavalier Kings Charles Spaniel keeps me active and social. We walk twice daily, and she brings so much joy”
Shar and Jakey’s story: “Jakey is always here for me. Pets offer unconditional love and companionship, making village life even better”
Shar lives at The Avenue Maroochydore with Jakey, her adored labrador-shih tzu. “I’ve always had animals around me all my life’’ Shar says.
“Animals do a lot for us. Our pets pick up our spirits when we are a bit down, they are great company, give us unconditional love and give us such mental stimulation to enjoy life so much more. Jakey is always here for me.’’
