BallyCara’s Village of Friends is a retirement community that can deliver a much needed safe and supportive environment during these unprecedented times. Our range of villas and apartments in Scarborough have strict health and safety measures in place and tour times are by appointment only to ensure your health and wellbeing is our top priority.
The Village of Friends is a way of life that makes BallyCara distinct from other retirement or resort communities in Brisbane and beyond. It is the enjoyment and harbouring of a unique spirit among Residents and also staff that enhances the lifestyle of each individual. We hope BallyCara is at the top of your list!
Our retirement living community is beautifully positioned by the waters of Moreton Bay at Scarborough on the Redcliffe Peninsula. This location offers Residents and their families a serene setting to enjoy together. Adding to the geographical location is the fact that the Village and surrounding areas are completely flat, ensuring a perfect opportunity for leisurely strolls without the obstacle of hills and slopes.

BallyCara’s location at Oyster Point Esplanade makes any desirable service or amenity accessible to you, irrespective of your mode of transport.
The Village is in close proximity to hospitals and medical facilities (both public and private) as well as large shopping centres. Very pleasurable dining experiences are available through nearby restaurants and cafes, plus many licensed clubs and hotels.
