Right in the heart of the La Trobe Valley—with views of Mount Baw Baw and the Strezlecki Ranges rising in the background—Baptcare Heritage Manor is set on peaceful, rolling farm greens.
You’ll enjoy the best of relaxed country living and warm community spirit here in Gippsland. With wide open spaces, plenty of clean, crisp air, and the gentle ‘moo’ of our dairy cow neighbours, it’s peaceful and relaxing while still being central to everything you need.
There’s plenty on offer nearby, including boutique shops and local farmer’s markets. Join us for one of our frequent day trips for lunch or a tour: a favourite is a scenic exploration of the nearby Loy Yang or Yallourn power stations, where many residents have fond memories of working or visiting loved ones.
Living well together
We’re a thriving community here at Heritage Manor
At Heritage Manor, our approach to care is simple. Whatever gives your life meaning and makes you feel at home: that’s exceptional care. ‘Home’ is something different for every person, so we take the time to listen to you and learn your story, then do all the things we can to ensure you feel excited about every day.
We live by the motto that ‘things don’t need to change because you live in aged care.’ Of course, you’ll have access to the high-quality support you need, but we’re a home, not a hospital. You’ll join a warm and inclusive community that feels like a big family home—pets included. We’ve had rabbits, birds, cats, and fish join us on site. And you can still do all the things you’ve always loved: if you’re used to having a glass of red at 8pm with friends or family, be our guest. It’s your home here at Heritage Manor.
Live well, your way
Living well looks different for everybody. Whatever you love to do—whatever makes your day and makes life meaningful—we’re here to make it happen.
Some of the hobbies and activities we support residents with include:
- If you’re a green thumb, you’ll thrive! Many residents are active in our gardens, and we encourage you to curate your own personal patch. You’ll find gnomes or fairy lights. One resident Mary has a rock with a plaque to remember her late husband.
- Another resident Ken was a professional darts player, so we have regular Monday morning dart competitions to keep all our skills on point!
- Resident Clive loves to play the drums, so he’s got a drumkit set up on site! He occasionally puts on a show for others and is working towards playing a venue he performed at when he was younger.
What's important to you?
These are some examples, but living well looks different for every person. It’s all about taking the time to understand your preferences, hobbies and passions. We’d love to chat through your favourite things to do when you visit us for a tour.
What’s on the menu
There’s always something fresh and delicious on offer at Heritage Manor, with a choice of tasty, healthy meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Family and friends are always welcome to join too: all you need to do is book ahead.
Fresh, seasonal menus
Our chefs prepare all food on site using delicious seasonal ingredients. Our menu is designed by reputable chefs in partnership with qualified dietitians, with special meals. We love BBQs in summer, and everyone enjoys a beer or a drink with the chef while the snags are cooking.
A range of delicious options every day
Choice is important in every aspect of life at Heritage Manor. Food is no exception. You’ll have the choice of two hot options for lunch and dinner, and sometimes three. There are fresh sandwiches and salads available for lunch and dinner, and bowls of fresh seasonal fruit you can enjoy throughout the day, every day.
Personalised dietary preferences
We have regular food focus meetings with residents to help decide the types of meals we offer. While our base menu is approved by a specialised dietitian, we adjust the menu based on your feedback, preferences and individual dietary needs.

A place to call your own
All rooms are bright, with lots of natural light and views out into the gardens, and private for one person. Couples can arrange for cojoining rooms with a shared door. Your space is your own and we strongly encourage you to do things to make it feel that way. That could mean bringing paintings or photos, or something as simple as a bowl of Roses choccies for everyone who visits (for one resident, that’s a must have!). Your room will also feature:
-
- electronic high/low bed
- ensuite bathroom with built-in shower chair, high-quality fittings and non-slip floor for comfort and safety
- bedside table and comfy chairs for visitors
- built-in wardrobe
- air-conditioning and cooling.
Wi-fi and telephone services are available for an additional cost.
If you love a Magnum ice cream for dessert each night, bring a fridge so you can keep them nearby! We’d love to have you for a tour and answer any of your questions.
