Stress free retirement in beautiful surroundings

Keep up the great work

Beautifully designed village
5 / 5 ★
A beautifully designed village, allowing privacy to all residents. As we are still relatively small, most of our functions are resident led, which leads to a friendly village that involves all residents.

Easy living, friendly staff
5 / 5 ★
Although I have only been here 7mths my sister has been here 20mths. I visited often. I think this place is unique it really is easy living, friendly staff, lovely residents who care about each other. There are a wide variety of events, lots of entertainment - with no obligation.

Clubhouse is very beautiful
5 / 5 ★
Clubhouse is very beautiful, but we have to run it ourselves as only about 100 residents. Houses still to be built.

Independent Living
4 / 5 ★
Sometime ago residents of the village were given a letter from management/staff saying there would be a clubhouse/ swimming pool/ gymnasium & care centre in 4 years' time. We have the clubhouse, but I would not recommend this village because the care centre could be another 10 years which is causing immeasurable stress & disruption.

A big adjustment, friendly staff
4 / 5 ★
a big adjustment after owning your own home, but staff are friendly and residents, too
Reviewer: Anonymous 27 Jul 2025
Two Stars
2 / 5 ★
It is good because of the residents. [In my opinion] Arvida is incredibly arrogant and dismissive of resident's life experiences and knowledge. The discrepancy between what was promised about the initial villas and how they have been built is disappointing.

Do not take the Operator's word that a problem cannot be fixed. Other avenues are available.
