Location

Common Areas

Pools and Gardens
Creatively landscaped with mature plants and indigenous trees for a lush, tropical feel. Three infinity view pools on different levels overlook the creek and Old Town, each waterfalling into the next. A choice of five landscaped areas around the pools enables you to relax and enjoy coastal life. Over Tudor Creek is a private deck with a prow and floating pontoon, perfect for a cool sun-downer or a place to secure your boat.
Security
Your security is assured by strategically positioned CCTV cameras, push buttons in all apartments and a professional security company on site 24 hours a day.
Mechanics
Although mains power supply is very consistent in the area, a 200 KVA generator with a 60 KVA back-up generator and automatic change over ensure uninterrupted power while solar water heaters help to ensure electricity consumption is kept to a minimum. The supply of electricity, water and removal of plumbing waste all go through the designated service ducts so there is no inconvenience to tenants. Both buildings are serviced with lifts made by Kone of Sweden.
Water
As well as good mains water supply, there are two underground water tanks with a storage capacity of 252,000 litres, a top-up sweet water well, and rain water collection. For the landscape garden we use treated water collected from our biodigester.
Parking
Each apartment has two designated car parking spaces and extra car parking is provided for visitors. There is a drop off area for the Creek Front apartments and both apartment buildings have a covered walkway to the main entrance lobby.
