Cottages are available through the Life-right model at market-related prices.

The levies include building insurance (household contents are excluded), structural maintenance (including the geyser) and gardening (all lawns and communal areas).
Security is of the highest standard and multi-layered, using a blend of cutting-edge technology and on-the-ground guarding.
Assisted living in the form of a place in the Village Inn is also an option.

A clinic that does house calls, a well-stocked library, a spacious hall, a popular restaurant, an indoor swimming pool, a gym and a pub and grub centre are just a few of the many value-added amenities on offer.
