Yes absolutely! Your accommodation at The Falls Estate is your home and as such, visitors are always welcome. The Community Centre, restaurant and recreational facilities are also available for both residents and their quests.

Not really. Residents live in their own homes and come and go as they please. One of the many advantages of planned residential estate living is that residents can go on their normal holidays, be it for a week or six months, with greater peace of mind regarding the maintenance and security of their homes. The only requirements are that management is advised of the intended period of absence and of any change that may occur whilst residents are away. Payment of the weekly service fee must be maintained as these costs are naturally on-going whether a person is in residence or not.

There are always homes and apartments becoming available on the Estate. We find that most people like to familiarise themselves with the village and our concept, then record their interest with us.

The grounds at the Falls Estate are beautifully landscaped in a manner that harmonises with the total surrounding environment. The ground staff maintain all areas to a carefully planned and monitored program. Residents can grow vegetables and change their flower gardens to reflect their own personality and taste, provided they continue to maintain them. There is also a community garden area, where residents can help grow produce for the village community to purchase at below market prices, with the profits returned to the residents’ social club.
