The two buildings
Fig Tree House

Poinciana House
The second stage, Poinciana House, has recently celebrated the completion of 53 luxury apartments alongside the grand opening of its resort-inspired leisure amenities and wellness centre. Residents can now enjoy exclusive access to an indoor heated magnesium pool, a fully equipped gym and an infrared sauna. The other amenities available include a hair salon, fitness studio and consult rooms for allied health and other professional services.
Additionally, the newly opened Pavilion dining room and the sophisticated Ascot Lounge provide elegant spaces for social gatherings and relaxation. The new addition to Bernborough Ascot is now also home to the Poinciana Café, open for breakfast and lunch and operates 7 days a week, offering stunning outdoor views of the expansive new bowling green.

At Bernborough Ascot, wellbeing isn’t just a feature, it’s the foundation of the vibrant, connected community. Every detail of the precinct is thoughtfully designed to support physical, mental and social wellbeing, creating a lifestyle that’s both enriching and joyful. You can step into the luxurious wellness centre, where tranquility meets vitality. This state-of-the-art offering includes an infrared sauna for deep relaxation, consulting rooms for allied health professionals and a fully equipped gym and spacious fitness studio for yoga, pilates and Zumba. On sunny days, the studio opens to a serene outdoor lawn under a majestic fig tree, perfect for morning yoga in nature’s embrace.

The outdoors at Bernborough Ascot are just as inviting. The three-lane bowling green brings people together for a bit of friendly competition, conveniently located right next to the café and terrace. A built-in BBQ and seating area turn any afternoon into an easy-going social event. Surrounding it all are lush, landscaped gardens designed by Urbis, with hardy, vibrant plantings and tree-lined walking paths that invite connection to nature. For those green thumbs, there’s even a dedicated community garden with a potting shed, building on the success of Fig Tree House’s already thriving resident-led gardens. It’s a space to nurture plants—and friendships.
Embrace sustainable living
Bernborough Ascot proudly holds a 6 Star Green Star Communities Rating, making it one of the first retirement communities in Australia to achieve this world-leading standard in sustainability.
Davina Rooney, CEO of the Green Building Council of Australia, said “Bernborough Ascot is at a world-leading standard and its residents and surrounding community are now poised to enjoy the enormous benefits sustainable buildings create for people.” But what does this mean for the people who live here?

This rating reflects thoughtful design that benefits both residents and the broader environment. Each apartment features high-performance double glazing, shade screens and energy-efficient fixtures to support comfort and reduce power usage, while rooftop solar panels help run shared amenities. Light-coloured surfaces and extensive landscaping help minimise heat, contributing to cooler surroundings throughout the year. Homes are positioned to capture natural breezes and cross-flow ventilation, while floor plans follow Livable Housing Design Guidelines to future-proof living spaces.
Rainwater tanks irrigate gardens and low-maintenance plant species thrive in Brisbane’s subtropical climate. Residents can also enjoy the communal veggie garden and fresh produce. As part of the Brisbane Racing Club’s proposed masterplan precinct, Bernborough Ascot is a place that leads by example in sustainable, connected retirement living.
