All of the rooms are single with an ensuite with many looking onto the extensive flat landscaped gardens. There are 81 rooms in all with a many high and low care sections which enables ageing in place and accommodation for couples on the same site. The rooms are tastefully furnished and residents are encouraged to personalise their room in their own style. Nearby cosy sitting rooms are stocked with tea and coffee making provisions for those wishing to entertain their family and friends. The warm friendly ambience is evidenced by the close involvement with the local community and Yaraandoo is seen as hub of activity in this seaside town. A wide range of activities is offered for those wishing to maintain current skills and interests or even develop new ones. The quality of the meals is a feature of this facility as the smaller size engenders a home like menu with local seasonal vegetables a feature.
