The complex has been organised so that residents can be as sociable as they wish to be with a home owner lounge being the centre of any events organised by the residents and which can also be booked in advance for private parties. There is a laundry and a refuse store, a lift and within the complex a guest suite for the use of visiting relatives for a relatively modest daily rate. A house manager mans an office within the complex from Monday to Friday between 8.30 and 1.30 on those days supervising the running of the complex, but also monitoring emergency calls. When the house manager is not in residence calls are diverted to a call centre that is monitored on a 24 hour basis.
