I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4 1/2 years here
5 / 5 ★I have thoroughly enjoyed my 4 1/2 years here. All my worries have been taken away, regarding maintenance & gardening.
This is a small fun village to live in
5 / 5 ★This is a small fun village to live in. People seem very happy and we enjoy living under one roof. Everything is provided within the high-rise so no having to walk or drive to activities. I love our staff and that includes everyone. It's like a big family here. Approachable Manager and excellent Events Co-ordinators.
Never Feel Lonely
5 / 5 ★Enjoy being under one roof with other units (high rise) so we never feel lonely if we like some company + enjoy events whatever the weather.
