At the end of Moore Street, in the heart of West Busselton, sits a village that feels more like a neighbourhood of old friends than a retirement community. Here, behind leafy gardens and neat walkways, you’ll find Villa 21 – 16/22 Moore Street - an independent living villa designed for those ready to embrace a simpler, more meaningful lifestyle.
This is no ordinary home. Managed by Retirees WA, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to empowering seniors across Western Australia, the village is shaped by care, connection, and the idea that retirement should feel like freedom, not compromise.
Step inside and the villa immediately welcomes you with warmth. A comfortable living area forms the heart of the home, where mornings can begin with coffee and the newspaper, and evenings end with the glow of a good book or conversation. The two bedrooms are both fitted with built-in robes, offering space for you and visiting family, while the large bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with convenience in mind.
The kitchen is practical yet homely - everything in its place, ready for you to prepare meals or bake for the grandkids. Outside, a private courtyard invites you to plant herbs, enjoy the sunshine, or share a quiet glass of wine as the day winds down. A single lock-up garage, storage room, and visitor parking make life easier, while year-round comfort is ensured with both split-system and ducted air-conditioning, and a gas bayonet.
And before you move in, your villa will be refurbished, offering you a fresh canvas to begin this new chapter.
Beyond the walls of Villa 21, the village hums with gentle activity. Neighbours stop to chat by the gardens, pets are welcome to stroll by your side, and the entire community is cared for with meticulous attention - lawns trimmed, pathways tidy, and common areas inviting. All this is made possible with a low monthly maintenance fee of just $305, part of the Lease for Life arrangement that also frees you from local council rates and stamp duty.

How the “Lease for Life” Works
Choosing a “Lease for Life” with Retirees WA means purchasing the lease at market value, granting you the exclusive right to occupy the unit and use all common facilities (if applicable). The lease ends when the last occupying resident vacates the unit. Unlike traditional home ownership, the land title does not transfer to you.
Financial Details and Costs
During occupancy, residents are responsible for the following costs:
Monthly Maintenance Fee: This covers common village expenses such as administration, pest control, building insurance, utilities for common areas, gardening, rubbish removal, and maintenance. The fee is reviewed annually.
Utility Charges: Residents pay for their unit’s water, electricity, gas, telephone, and other service charges.
Insurance: Retirees WA insures the unit and the original fixtures but you must insure your personal belongings.
Maintenance and Responsibilities
As a resident, you are responsible for maintaining and repairing your unit only from the back fence to the outside of the front door. Retirees WA ensures that common areas are well-kept, covering these costs through the village maintenance account. This means you can enjoy a low-maintenance lifestyle, focusing on what matters most to you.
Understanding the Outgoing Refund
When the lease ends, the outgoing refund is calculated by deducting certain fees from the new resident’s ingoing payment:
Deferred Management Fee (DMF): 2.5% of the subsequent resident’s ingoing payment per year, capped at 25%.
Major Refit Contribution (Sinking Fund): 1% of the subsequent resident’s ingoing payment per year, capped at 10%.
Additional Costs: Including outstanding maintenance fees, water usage, selling fees, settlement fees, and refurbishment costs.
The outgoing resident or their estate receives the payment within 7 business days after the subsequent resident pays for the lease.
If you’ve been waiting for a home that offers comfort without complication, and a lifestyle that balances independence with community, Villa 21 is waiting for you.
