| Rendell on Reed is a 55 bed rest home/hospital that is made up of 2 "wings". Although we are next to the Catholic Church we are an interdenominational home.
Original Wing was built in the early 1900's and was used as a convent. It still has original features like stained glass windows and ornate ceilings. The Classic Wing was built in 1999 and was purpose built. All rooms on Classic have ensuite facilities. We have views of the sea from a number of vantage points and the home is bright, light and spacious. |
