village review
3 / 5 ★The decision is too personal to make a recommendation - in any case one is much the same as any other among the big operators.
Quick Review
3 / 5 ★The on the ground staff are wonderful people.
Village manager v head office
3 / 5 ★Head office needs to let their very competent village managers do the job they are engaged to do, without micro managing them from Wellington
Poor activities
2 / 5 ★Improve activities with concerts etc. Listen to residents and acknowledge them with a greeting.
I have lived with a leaky shower for over 2 years. Graded 5 (urgent) vinyl is lifting off floor - still nothing done. Gardening waiting over a year - weeds accumulating - still nothing.
