More emphasis needs to be placed on educating drivers meaning speed in a 10kph zone! Due to my wife's permanent hospitalisation I purchased a Villa in order to be closer to her. I had not considered a retirement village until it was forced upon me. At 72 I was the boy in the village but 3 years later I have come to appreciate our community. My wife has passed away and I am now able to actively participate in village activities. No regrets about settling here. My family know that Im in good hands

Lovely gardens, bowling green, exercises, spa pool, and lots of outings if we want to go. I moved into my lovely townhouse on 24 April 2010. It was the best decision I have ever made. My late husband had died as a result of an very bad accident on the wharf. I was left with a family of 7 children, the youngest 81/2 months old. After 54 years in the valley, I came here, and its been wonderful. No more lawns to cut, windows to clean, all done for me. I love it.

Pros

Self reliant since husband died. Do what you want when you want.

Cons

Being surrounded by others in main building or town house can still be lonely in the house alone. No one to talk to immediately.

Pros

Position, facilities. such as swimming pool, bowling green. Lounges. nice outdoor areas, Mainly . friendly caring staff.Van outings to the shops and other places. Happy hour. morning and afternoon teas Friendly residents. Fixed fees and services provided for this.

Cons

f you are really interested and care about the residents , then why are complaints ignored ? We live here and know what changes will improve things here for us We get told most decisions come from Head Office staff.I hope someone sympathetic and caring reads this . The most important complaint is about a newly installed DISABLED TOILET. It is the only communal toilet on the upstairs level. I is next to the Activities Room .THE PROBLEM IS IT'S A .FIREDOOR AND DIFFICULT TO ACCESS It's dangerous

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

The lack of communication causes such friction. We are given The Ryman Spiel , every body counts . Every body matters. We need an informal system to talk to each other. We start with a question to Manager, No reply. Becomes a question, becomes frustration.

Look after your staff. They're very good but they feel they aren't listened to enough. (Management by walking around - Business studies 101)
