Building manager is extremely rude. Our last conversation were I tried explaining that my cupboards are broken and need to be replaced, he literally walked out of the room and would not listen to my complaint. Every time you speak with him he makes it a point to make you feel like you are in the wrong, even though you are making a valid complaint about damage that should be fixed. I regret making a purchase. If you are considering buying here, I would not recommend doing so based on my experience thus far.

We've purchased a 2bed 2bath unit here and moved in recently. There was minimal effort put into refurbishing the apartment, but the occupational rent was quickly collected. Apparently the apartment had been fumigated but we found cockroaches alive and well. The building manager was rude and uncooperative, lacking in professionalism and etiquette and his office looks like chaos, which likely explains why service is so poor. The stairwells are stained and shabby, likely from not being cleaned regularly, though the agent advised us otherwise. We are owners, not tenants, so while the agent and seller will find reasons to renege on promises, we will continue updating this review until the standard improves in this complex. No one who spends hard earned money to live here should be subject to the tyranny of incompetence.
The security gates swing open and knocked my car on occasion that I visited but thankfully was not damaged.
Unfortunately, my experience living in this estate has been consistently disappointing and concerning. The property is frequently filthy, with common areas poorly maintained. There is constant noise and repeated disturbances, particularly from certain blocks, and despite numerous reports, no meaningful action is ever taken. Serious issues are routinely ignored. Building manager is never seen. On 17 January 2026, following an ongoing disturbance that I reported to security, I personally witnessed an unsupervised child throwing stones at vehicles in the visitors’ parking area. I immediately reported this to security. Instead of the matter being addressed appropriately, the situation escalated. A security guard arrived at my apartment accompanied by an unidentified individual who had been informed that I was the person who reported the incident. This individual confronted me in an aggressive manner and made verbal threats to me inciting violence, causing me to feel unsafe in my own apartment. This incident highlights a broader problem within the estate: complaints are not handled professionally, there is no accountability, and residents’ safety is not prioritised. Communication is extremely difficult, there are no clear points of contact, follow-ups are non-existent, and attempts to raise concerns are largely ignored. Ironically, the only matter that seems to receive consistent enforcement attention is disabled parking, while far more serious issues relating to safety, noise, cleanliness, and security are overlooked. As a paying owner, I expected a well-managed, secure, and peaceful living environment. Sadly, this has not been the case, and the lack of effective management and response has made living here increasingly frustrating and unsafe
After all that in the pics i got a wonderful email that i had 30 days to move out cos they had sold the apartment lmao then they took 90% of the deposit, how nice.
