For those seeking an enhanced level of comfort, we have 15 Care Suites that provide flexibility and a touch of luxury beyond a standard room. Care Suites include a kitchenette with a fridge and kettle, a private ensuite bathroom and a heat pump. Our Care Suites are fully certified by the Ministry of Health for hospital-level care, so you can relax knowing that you won’t face the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase.
