Residents enjoy delicious cuisine prepared daily by our own chef using fresh local produce. Daily menus incorporate the provision of main meals, including the choice of a hot breakfast on a daily basis, together with morning and afternoon teas. 

For those added indulgences, pre-dinner drinks are offered prior to evening meals including a selection of wine, beer, juices and soft drinks. Meals can be enjoyed in a variety of settings such as dining rooms, shaded outdoor areas, balconies or room service. It is also possible to arrange meals for guests, if residents are enjoying company.

Positive, caring ageing in an environment of quality, comfort and choice.
