    Amazing place! Beautifully presented with everything set up for the residents' needs and wishes. Apartments are very comfortable and quiet. Gardens are beautiful and well tended. Underground car parking is a frustration for larger vehicles but the (limited) outdoor parking is satisfactory. The hospital-style accommodation for more intense assistance are comfortable albeit small. A wonderful place to enjoy the later years...

    Making the move to a retirement facility is not easy, to say the least. Weary Dunlop eventually wins over even the most sceptical and resistant amongst our elderly. Professional staff, great amenities, welcoming to families of community members. A wonderful home for so many wonderful people at the right time of their lives.
