About
Principle Living

For decades, the partners behind Principle Living have called the Hunter home. We’ve watched this region perfect the art of creating experiences worth savouring.

We’ve learned that whether you’re tending vines or tending communities, the principles remain the same: know your land, invest in quality, never rush what matters.

We see retirement differently. Not as a retreat from life, but as the chapter where life opens up. Where you finally have time for morning conversations that run long. Where neighbours become friends over shared interests, not shared fences. Where every detail – from the homes to the amenities – is designed for the life you’ve earned.

Principle Living is a partnership between the Mann Family, founders of myHomecare, and the Stevens Group, one of NSW’s leading private developers. Together, they bring decades of experience and a deep understanding of the needs of older Australians, especially within the Hunter region.
