Sellers Insight

"Our mother has enjoyed almost nineteen very happy years living here at Ridgeway Heights and the development will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

In 2004 when looking to make a move our mother decided that the time was right for her to move to an apartment, removing her struggle with ongoing garden maintenance, and in order to make life easier for her, enabling her to enjoy a quality lifestyle. The attraction of a 'lock and leave' property also appealed as well, so that she could enjoy some travelling. She walked into Ridgeway Heights and was impressed with the spacious rooms and immediately fell in love with the lovely open views. She never tired of sitting on her balcony watching the afternoon sun shining over the harbour and the wonderful sunsets enjoyed over the hillsides. In a winters evening looking at the lights down through the valley to the marina was just as spectacular, leading to her never closing her curtains as there is just so much to see!"
