Costerfield House Finds Its Forever Home – A New Era for CareVillas Australia
CareVillas Australia is proud to unveil Costerfield House at it’s new home Reflections At Eppalock, now officially open and welcoming guests. Located in the serene surrounds of Lake Eppalock, this landmark development signals the next evolution in culturally responsive, inclusive respite care.
With over 80 attendees joining us for our official launch event held on 20th March 2025, Reflections at Eppalock made a powerful first impression. From carers and community members to sector partners and local leaders, the event served as a live showcase of CareVillas’ commitment to delivering high-quality, custom-designed care environments that foster dignity, comfort, and connection.

“Reflections at Eppalock is more than just a new address—it’s a strategic investment in the future of regional respite care,” said Janine. “Our model is scalable, impactful, and designed with people at the centre.”
