Are Pets Allowed?

Can I have visitors and can they stay with me?
Yes. It is your home and visitors are always welcome. The Community Centre is available for both residents and their guests.

How long can I be away from my home at the Village?
As you live in your own home, you come and go as you please. Residents can go on their normal holidays, be it for a week or six months, with much greater peace of mind regarding the maintenance and security of their homes.

Are There Any "hidden" Restrictions/Limitations?
