Our Gardens and Facilities
Everyone – including members of the public, is welcome to enjoy the gardens off of Dunrobin Road. Walk, sit, exercise your dog (clean up after them), or just relax under the wisteria arbour or next to the Japanese-inspired pond and garden.
Residents and visitors can also enjoy the rear gardens, including access to the outdoor gym, mini golf, and herb and vegetable gardens.
BBQs are available free of charge, and we will provide you with a cleaning kit to help make your BBQ time a great experience.
One of the two rotundas can be used for family gatherings and celebrations. Bookings are preferred. Contact Customer Care to discuss.
The gardens are part of our residents' homes, so please treat them with respect, be mindful of noise levels, and take only pictures when you leave.
