Testimonial ... From a distinguished point of view

My wife and I live in Hobart. We have been coming to Maroochydore every winter for the last eight years. Originally we had a unit in Cotton Tree but unfortunately I suffered a stroke. This made it very difficult to handle stairs, as a result we made the shift to Trafalgar Towers.

Since coming here we find the place very convenient for our special needs. Both major shopping centres are within easy access and Coco's fruit market is not much further away. Because I no longer drive, I walk to all these places without difficulty.

Motorists can drive to them all without becoming involved, too heavily, in the increasing traffic on the Sunshine Coast. Motorists also have security parking in the basement and the whole building is a secure environment.

For a time after my illness I couldn't walk at all. Now that I can, I walk four miles every day. From here I can access the walking track along the Maroochy River without crossing a major road. This pathway is a pleasure to walk and the grade alongside tidal water is more or less sea level.

That takes care of me.

In Tasmania my wife goes to water therapy sessions to help ease the situation. She finds the heated pool here just right for keeping up her exercise program.

What I have said is not to make out that this place is some sort of old peoples home, it's not, it's an ordinary place where all sorts of people come and go for all sorts of reasons.

I have just tried to give my view as to why Trafalgar Towers suits us and we have  no doubt others are just as satisfied for totally different reasons.
