LIFE AT MARK MORAN VAUCLUSE
Exclusive Amenities
Luxury retirement living in Vaucluse — 25-metre pool, gym, spa, cinema, fine dining and award-winning gardens
Mark and Evette Moran drew their inspiration for the amenities at Vaucluse from the world’s leading resorts and hotels, and then went further. The brief was not to replicate an existing model but to build something more akin to a seven-star precinct, where every amenity supports the way residents actually want to live. They designed many of the amenities for themselves. The outcome included many unique and international award winning (best in world) benchmarks including for interiors. The result is regarded in Australia and internationally as the world’s best senior living environment.
Welcome to world class amenities: the 25-metre Turkish haman inspired heated indoor pool adjoining the wellness precinct with infrared sauna and spa. The state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym with Health Metrix equipment sourced from Finland. Sol Spa, the only seniors’ community in the world to feature a globally award-winning holistic spa open to the whole community — there is no other Vaucluse in design or Seniors planning. The Botanica Vaucluse restaurant is recognised as a gem in the fine dining scene of Sydney and is much loved by residents and the broader community alike. Harry’s Café situated in the world class four story atrium, unique in itself, is the heart and pulse of daily living at Vaucluse.
Experience the James Bull Bar with our guest speaker series, a sporting event on the big screen or simply a cocktail making class. Watch the latest cinematic release in our luxury cinema designed with Gold Class seating and popcorn for your enjoyment. The rooftop with panoramic Sydney Harbour and ocean views is unique to Vaucluse — enjoy Sydney New Year’s Eve fireworks or a wedding with family in the locally celebrated Orangerie or a Friday night Shabbat dinner or Christian service. The Award-winning gardens are landscaped and designed by Evette Moran, reflecting whimsy, colour and seasonal changes and palette from the much loved vegetable garden to the fairy meadows. Vaucluse is not a retirement environment, it’s a living breathing immersive experience celebrating life and community.
I just want to thank you and everybody who looked after Dad. They have been amazing to him and I am very grateful for the time my father had at Mark Moran Vaucluse. When the time comes I will definitely consider the place for him. In the meantime please convey my gratitude for all the care that my Dad received while I was away.

Just a note to thank the Mark Moran Vaucluse team for the wonderful care they provided to Mum. I cannot thank the staff enough for their genuine care, professionalism and kindness to Mum, it was truly lovely. I have no doubt that Mum’s six weeks were as comfortable as I could have hoped for her, and for that, I am very grateful to Mark Moran Vaucluse.
