A Home for You and Your Pets

At Hometown Australia we understand the importance of your pet – they are part of the family after all!  Many of Hometown Australia’s communities have pet-friendly policies helping your four-legged friend feel right at home with plenty of open spaces, walking paths and even dog walking groups that have formed throughout the communities.

Hometown Australia has a range of pet-friendly communities waiting to welcome you and your pet.

Lock and Leave Lifestyle

Living in a Hometown Australia community in a low maintenance home, allows the added opportunity for residents to be able to travel whilst knowing their home is in a secure community. With neighbours who know you, you can feel secure in knowing you can safely lock up and head off on your next trip. Without a big garden, lawn, or pool to maintain, you can flexibly travel without returning home to a disaster. When nobody has to look after your home in your absence, the whole world becomes open to you. With the Land Lease Living model you can free up more of your money to spend on the things that matter in life, like travelling!

Moving into a Hometown Australia community has helped the Dollmans (pictured) to save money for travel, which has led them to swimming with the whale sharks in Western Australia.

“I love my life!”

I have made so many life-long friends, I am involved in so many wonderful activities and really do feel a tremendous amount of support. I would recommend this community to anyone looking to make the move.
