OWNERS INSIGHT

"We have loved living here for its peaceful yet convenient location. We enjoy coastal walks with our dog and the stunning views across the bay from Daddyhole Plain. The harbour is just a short stroll away, offering a great choice of bars and restaurants, yet the apartment is far enough removed to escape the bustle and return to peace and quiet. Within five minutes’ walk, we can enjoy drinks on the terrace at The Headlands Hotel, dine at The Osborne Hotel, or take a paddle at Meadfoot Beach. Rutland Heights has a wonderful community spirit, with neighbours coming together throughout the year for Christmas drinks, summer gatherings, and air show celebrations in the communal garden. We’re also just around the corner from the Little Theatre, where we’ve enjoyed many memorable evenings. Above all, we love the tranquil setting and spending time relaxing in our private rear garden."
