Westmont Villas
Our Independent Living Villas combine freedom of lifestyle with worry-free maintenance of dwelling and lawns. Gardening can be a selected activity not a chore. Individual requirements are easily met once the decision is made to join those residents already settled in Village life.
There are several different styles of spacious self-contained two and three-bedroom Villas including quality fittings, air conditioning, carpets, built-in robes, and a one-and-a-half or double garage with room for a workshop. Naturally, you will want to surround yourself with your own furnishings, belongings, and treasured memories to emphasize your personal touch in your new home.
