Beauty In A New Build
At Murray Halberg Village, a quality new retirement living option has emerged, with the Snell apartment block, named for Halberg's fellow Olympian Sir Peter Snell, nearing completion.
The attention to detail in the construction and finishing of these apartments is excellent, say Project Manager Johannes Cronje and Regional Construction Manager Matt Hutchinson.
Everything is high spec, built to last and beautifully finished. This quality extends through to things such as a silent fan system which quietly moves the air 24/7, preventing condensation. It can’t be heard, and it creates a healthier, warmer home for residents.
Natural light filters through full height windows and doors leading to a spacious balcony or patio, some with fabulous views over lush native bush.
“There’s a lot of confidence in the construction team,” adds Johannes.
