What's New

Building has now started on our new rooms, each with full ensuite.  We hope to be completed by the end of June 2012. This will increase our rooms from 26 - 30, as a result we will be then be able to increase the size of our dining and main lounge room. The residents enjoy watching the progress and have been asked to crack the whip if the tradesmen are slacking off.
