Relaxing outlook

Apartments nestled in a resort-style retirement village should offer the good things in life all gathered in one place. There is an increasing demand for developers, architects and specifiers to create well-appointed interiors that match the high standard of recreational facilities that such complexes have to offer.

The Blue Hills Country Club is just such a high-end retirement complex. Developer Blue Hills Residences has created a comprehensive environment that offers a sense of community, leisure and independence. There is a community shop, hydrotherapy pool, a gymnasium, bowling green, tennis court and a computer room to name only a few of the recreational facilities.

All aspects of a luxurious lifestyle are catered to by the developers. The Blue Hills Country Club offers a restaurant serving delicious, healthy meals and a cocktail bar that provides an inviting place for a glass of red before borrowing a book or a DVD from a well stocked library.

The country club is set up to meet all the health and personal needs of its mature residents. There is a medical room, a visiting doctor, beautician and a masseur.

Within the complex, the 18 self-contained Stephanie Apartments, designed by architects De Nova Group, have been fitted out with modern, ergonomic features as standard. The apartments emphasise residents' sense of ease and independence.

All apartments are open-plan and designed to maximise light. The latest materials and furnishings were chosen to create comfortable, modern interiors.

Kitchens in the apartments are also spacious and ergonomically designed. They feature easy-to-clean surfaces and the latest European Kleenmaid appliances.

For hassle-free cooking, a freestanding oven offers a large 96-litre capacity, a rotisserie and five burners, including a wok and fish burner.

To clear the air after cooking, a clean-lined rangehood is a spacious 900mm-wide. The Kleenmaid design offers the convenience of slide controls and dishwasher safe aluminium grease filters for effortless upkeep.

In keeping with the easy country club lifestyle, a commodious Amana Bottom mount fridge offers a no-maintenance frost-free freezer and a Temp-assure system that monitors fresh food and freezer compartments. The refrigerator has a large 596 litre capacity and is also from Kleenmaid.

The company's 30-litre microwave was also specified for the apartments this includes a convenient grill function.

Kleenmaid is also on hand to make light of the laundry chores. A front loading washing machine offers a 5kg capacity, tumble wash action and automatically adjusts water levels. The Condenser dryer has a 6kg capacity, an anti-tangle tumble action and quiet operation.
