Great retirement living
5 / 5 ★
Well managed
Reviewer: Anonymous 17 Jun 2026
Kensington Masonic Villas
5 / 5 ★
The units in this small Masonic village are especially well designed for the older age group they were built for. My visitor's first comment when they arrive is "WOW what a wonderful retirement unit" our village does not have 'on site' care, just a husband and wife supervising couple.

Nice village let down by [in my opinion] management.

Spacious Grounds
4 / 5 ★
Small scale (36 units); spacious grounds; manager of the village unreliable; inadequate communication with residents; worrying increases in monthly fees: annual and substantial.

The length of time taken to have money paid out when units vacated. Co-ordinator.
