To keep the wonderful heritage of this site it is named The Orchards, which preserves its link to the days of the strawberry and peach orchard growers. In making this a unique and charming retirement village, we have spared no detail to ensure this is as good as retirement living gets.
The Orchards is home to a vibrant community. This intimate village has become a home to a community where you know your neighbours by name, yet still maintain your privacy.
The village also offers first class care with rest home and residential hospital level care on-site and a maintenance-free lifestyle with a security call system, all for your peace of mind.

Testimonials
| We love the comfort and security of the environment in the village where the worries of maintaining and the upkeep of a home is removed. The fact that the village also has a Care Home which gives priority access if needed to village residents. Companionship and an easy way of life, no worries about maintenance etc. We have a great maintenance person now and he keeps everything under control and is very approachable. I can please myself if I join in or be a hermit for a while. I like the smallness of The Orchards, I know at least 60% of the people here. My husband and I settled here in 2017 and sadly he passed away 2 years later. He wanted me to be somewhere safe and not alone - he was right. I have lost a lot of mobility this year, so I'm unable to participate in as much as before, but I can step out my door and meet others, play scrabble etc. and enjoy coffee together. If there are any problems we can call for help and support. Nice to have neighbours close by to chat to or have coffee with. Lots of staff and residents who are happy to help when needed. |

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
