Location
Arcadia Waters Bicton is set in beautifully landscaped grounds with a rich history. The site was originally the private residence of Mr and Mrs Hammersmith, with Hammersmith House being their original home dating back to 1917. The house and land were given to the order of St Joseph’s Nuns and St Joseph’s Hospital was built on the site in 1956.
Hammersmith House was beautifully restored as part of the conversion of the site into a retirement village in 1996. Two years later in 1998 Hammersmith House won an award for the high quality of the restoration work which included the commissioning of a spectacular feature fresco that remains evident even today.
Facilities & Services
Other village services and amenities include a hairdressing salon, library, a large community centre, coffee corner, an indoor heated swimming pool, and a vast array of social activities organised by the Residents’ Committee.
The village location couldn’t be better. Public transport is close at hand and just around the corner, and within easy walking distance, is the popular Melville Plaza shopping centre along with medical practices, pharmacies and several other convenience stores, restaurants and cafés and takeaways nearby too.
Being a few hundred meters from Canning Highway makes Arcadia Waters Bicton very convenient for trips to Fremantle or Perth.
