OWNERS INSIGHT

"Being born and brought up in Torquay, I have always loved the Cary Park area. I really enjoy the bright rooms and the green view from my balcony facing south toward the park. Cary Park Lodge has been a peaceful development to live, with only five other neighbours. It has been a difficult decision to make, and although I love my home, I feel it is time to downsize slightly and hoping to move over the road to a retirement flat."
