Love the pools and staff
5 / 5 ★
I Love the pools, Tai chi, yoga, pilates. I feel secure and Like the way the maintenance crew get onto even the smallest problem. This would never happen if you needed a plumber elsewhere.

I would only recommend signing up to an ORA to people/friends who realise and understand that it is a good investment in time, not money. You have to buy-in to these places with the intention that it is the last place you will live in. It can be risky for youngsters like me at a mere 64 yrs old but think it through, and if it feels right, go for it. You'll only lose 27% of your money if you get out early, so be sure.

Over the past 2-3 years the village management has had a gradual change in attitude & has become a lot more pleasant & approachable. Changed include now paying for repairs to assets in villas and weekly fees stop on exit.

Our decision to take up an ORA was largely based on verbal information and assurance of which many have not eventuated.

4 / 5 ★
An increasing number of residents would now be better suited to an apartment type of accommodation due to increasing age and health conditions with the option of some level of care.
