OWNER INSIGHT

"When relocating to Torquay I was looking for an apartment that felt like 'home' to me. As soon as I walked into this apartment I realised that I had found my new home, with the beautiful tiled hallway an immediate attraction and the feeling of space extremely welcoming. As soon as I walked out onto the verandah and saw the views over the gardens and the sea glimpses my decision was made! I have enjoyed my time living here at Collingwood but feel that the time is now right for me to move on and start a new 'chapter' in my life, but at the same time I feel privileged to be able to let any new owner enjoy the benefits that life here at Collingwood will offer them."
