Imagine a retirement full of colour
‘‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year’’ . . . or so the song goes, although perhaps for the residents at Maryville Courts this sentiment could be attributed year round, such is the feeling of community and good will around the village.
With Christmas just around the corner, plans are well underway for the Christmas dinner, when residents and board members come together to celebrate and reflect on the past year while looking forward to the new year ahead.
‘‘If you value community, you’ve come to the right place,’’ says manager Suzanne Reynen. ‘‘It’s the perfect opportunity to make new friends.’’
To this end, there is a lot going on in the village – walking groups, a gardening club, bridge, croquet, exercise groups, coffee mornings, as well as a snooker room, craft room, gym and a well-stocked library.
The gardens are in full bloom with a riot of colour at this time of the year, making it the perfect place to sit with a good book. Residents are welcome to develop their own gardens, but help is on hand if required.
Maryville Courts has 65 independent two-bedroom villas and apartments set amid mature gardens and an orchard. Two cottage-style villas will undergo full refurbishment, and will be available in the New Year.
So if you’re thinking about making the move to a retirement village, why not pop in for a visit and grab the opportunity to stamp your own personality on your new retirement villa.
Maryville has a friendly, vibrant environment and enjoys an enviable location in the centre of the city. Whether you crave some hustle and bustle with shopping, theatre and restaurants right on your doorstep, or a quieter lifestyle, Maryville has much to offer.
