Settling into this friendly caring village from overseas has been very easy. I have been welcomed in most warmly. There is a wide range of outdoor and indoor activities to choose from and the new clubhouse is extremely popular.

Facility Response: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate your comments and are pleased to hear that you enjoy our café, beautiful gardens and the surrounding area.<br /> <br /> As a growing village, we recognise that development has taken place over several years, and we appreciate the patience and understanding of residents who have been part of that journey. The benefit of this continued development is the addition of new homes, facilities and amenities that enhance the Village for both current and future residents.<br /> <br /> Our café is intentionally open to both residents and the wider community, helping to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere. Residents also enjoy a range of exclusive benefits, including discounted café purchases, a resident loyalty coffee card, and resident-only dining events and social activities throughout the year.<br /> <br /> We continue to monitor parking and other operational matters to ensure the Village remains enjoyable for everyone. We value all feedback and are always happy to discuss any concerns directly with our residents so we can continue to improve their experience.
