"The former students of Maryborough's No. 7464 School would be forgiven for not recognising their old school today. Havilah Hostel Inc. has seen the school premises fully restored, refurbished and rebuilt to give Maryborough its newest and most comprehensive care facility - Raglan House at Havilah on Palmerston.
Opened in February, Raglan House provides the latest in aged care and comfort. Stunning communal dining and kitchen areas are easily accessible from the light-filled, architect-designed apartments, some with wonderful views of the Maryborough town skyline. Comfortable chairs flank the hallways of Raglan House and create atmospheric reading and meeting areas that might be part of a luxurious hotel experience. The bathrooms of the facility are large, with easy access for wheelchairs.
Kitchenettes offer autonomy and convenience, while second bathrooms offer added comfort for residents and visitors. The bedrooms are spacious, and adjoining walk-in robes have extraordinary storage space. Lounge rooms are light and airy, with views to the Palmerston grounds and room for relaxing and receiving guests.
The grounds of Raglan House have expanses of grass and are bordered by gardens, while a palm tree from the days of the school both reminds us of the building's past and also lends an exotic feel.
All these excellent facilities are matched by exceptional service. At the touch of a button nursing assistance is available at any hour of the day or night. Meals are prepared with only the best quality fresh and seasonal ingredients to suit all diets. In-house activities and social outings in and around Maryborough and the surrounding wine and goldfields district are all part of life at Havilah on Palmerston."
