A gracious verandah offers fine views of the estate with its eco corridors and picturesque wetland featuring extensive bird life. “The community centre will be the heart of the Kindlewood Estate and a key element of the tranquil lifestyle it offers,” said Msani. “The serene ambience is enhanced by the peace of mind offered by electrified perimeter fencing, camera surveillance and 24/7 gate monitoring. The management committee believe the centre will further enhance the community lifestyle which is growing from strength to strength at Kindlewood.
