Trish, I was most astonished to read your review as our experience at Eureka Gardens could not be more radically different. I have recently assisted my sister and her husband to settle there but we first viewed Eureka some 3 years ago and loved it then and love it now (it took 3 years to emigrate). There has been a change in management in this time but I found both the past and the present managers helpful, kind and willing to accommodate individual needs. Their unit is spacious and even as a couple living together they are comfortable and there is space for all their furniture and treasures. The unit is bathed in beautiful sunshine and is light and airy. Sound proofing is excellent and you would not know you have close neighbours. Yes the kitchen is small but with the nutritious and frankly delicious varied meals supplied they have no need for a large space. The communal laundry is well maintained and to date they have not had problems accessing it. An advantage to running your own appliance in their opinion. The community has been most welcoming and residents have taken it upon themselves to organise activities that interest them. Management has been on hand to facilitate all ideas and groups. Yes, your friends there are elderly - it is a retirement village! There are beautiful accessible walks in the neighbourhood too. The gardens and surrounds are delightful and well kept. Building maintenance is conducted as timely as possible with tradesperson availability. And the cost? If you've looked at Age Care fees, independent living costs, rental or any other shelter for the elderly you will surely find Eureka offers incomparable value for money and is certainly the only affordable option we could source. I am confident to highly recommend Eureka Gardens Claremont.

Dear Sir / Madam Hello, my name is Trevor West and I would like to share my recent experience in taking up residence at Eureka Gardens Claremont. I was a previous resident at Eureka in 2018 to 2021 and did a Resident Profile in the Village Newsletter Edition 8 during the Covid period. I was offered and took up residence with Claremont RSL which provided two bedrooms. During this time, I had a heart attack and required a quadruple bypass surgery at Royal Hobart Hospital. My daughters packed up my belongings and returned me back to Brisbane to live with them during recovery. After nearly 2 years in Brisbane my daughters could see I was not happy with the hot weather and environment and said why don’t you try and return to Tasmania. So, in February 2025 I called Eureka Gardens and spoke with Lisa Potter who listened to my above story and said she had a number of vacancies available. This is where her professional and welcoming standards started. We had numerous communications preparing documents and deciding on a date in April that I was able to take up residence. Lisa understanding of my situation was to be commended as it was above her job description. Everything was perfectly prepared on my arrival to Eureka with notes and instructions, as she was on a RDO that Friday. She even ensured a meal was prepared for me on the Saturday. I really felt at home because of Lisa and her staff. The unit was exceptionally clean and well presented on arrival. During my short time here because of that dreaded Covid again, I was able to represent proudly Eureka Gardens and it’s residents by laying a reef during the Anzac Dawn service provided by Lisa. Lisa also prior to Covid outbreak prepared a wonderful Easter Lunch for the residents and was able to get local shops to donate easter buns and chocolates which was greatly appreciated by everyone. The meals have been first class and Lisa and the Chef should be commended on the number of choices presented each day. Lisa ensures all Staples are personally given to each resident. The grounds are well maintained and all facilities (washing machines and dryers) are in new condition. Lisa as a manager is an asset to Eureka Gardens and should be congratulated on her performance. I am all settled in now and back to my Volunteer work at Hobart Airport. I look forward to spending many move years with Eureka Gardens at Claremont. Thank you for your time. Yours truly, Trevor West

Hello people, I'd love to tell my story of how I came to know about Eureka Claremont gardens. I have a client that moved from Glenorchy to Claremont and has never been more settled, happy and safe in her surroundings. Lisa, the manager is fantastic and involved with every tenant when necessary. The grounds and gardens are beautiful as are the staff, pleasant and helpful. They serve nutritious and delicious food. I have no hesitation in assisting a client to move to Eureka Claremont Gardens in the future. 5 stars for this amazing, community driven facility

This village has to be Hell on Earth. (Where I would rather be than here) Shoe Box sized Units: fit ONE CHAIR, a small coffee table, TV, Kitchen is no more than a tiny walkway and a bedroom that fits only a double bed and 1 cabinet. Tiny toilet and shower. THE BEST BIT: THE RENT!!! $900 A FORTNIGHT OUT OF YOUR MEAGRE PENSION, excluding food. Communal laundry off the Dining Room, clique residents, nothing to do (unless you like oldies bingo (maybe 6-8 In attendance) Australia Day 2024. A BBQ. Absolutely NOTHING Australiana. . Out of 70 or so Residents, about 15 turned up and left as soon as they’d had their free sausage sandwich! Not an Australia Day.Tee shirt of a Flag in sight. I know Management had changed as I left, so not sure if life there is different BUT the TINY BOX UNITS and lack of facilities will still be the same!! (Ive met up since with a few Residents I made friends with, and they say they all wish they could get out. Head Office… well I cannot say what I feel about them. MANY Residents complained about the lack of Care when I was there. There is ZERO COMMUNITY, just clique Groups, and a lot of backstabbing gossipers!! (possibly the new Manager may have arranged something communal activities??) Regardless, if you are looking to put Mum, Dad or Granny into.AN ‘AFFORDABLE l (HAAAA!!) Seniors “Lifestyle Village ’ $900 a fortnight (rent might have even gone up) plus extra if you want a meal, which you heat up yourself in your tiny Unit, then I’d swerve Eureka Village. Get them a caravan instead. (Bigger) THE 6 MONTHS I SPENT THERE WERE SO BAD I WAS ALMOST DRIVEN TO SUICIDE. Sure, it might suit some people who are maybe not as cognitive as they once where, otherwise GO LIVE ON A YACTHT, NOT EUREKA!! (I’m sure they will have a ‘come’ back’ for this Post BUT, in a free world, I’m allowed my own opinion and this ancient 1970s ‘Death’s Waiting Room’ is what it says on the tin!! NOT. “AFFORDABLE?? 😂😂😂😂

Eureka Claremont Gardens is a wonderful place to live in my opinion. I've always felt confident that my mum is safe living there. She has made many close friends for life. There is always someone to talk to if you want to or if you don't want then just keep to yourself. The units are cosy and welcoming. The manager Tanya is delightful. She is very reasonable and obliging. Very approachable and friendly. I can confidently recommend Eureka Claremont Gardens as a safe, friendly place to live.
