Garden Route Chalets are progressively fixing up, adding to and changing all the units \u2013 they try only to make changes when the Resort is quieter, as not to interrupt your well-deserved R & R time. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unit upgrades<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At unit 330, brand new pathways have been established in the garden, the parking bay netting has been replaced with shade cloth, and new air-conditioners have been installed in the lounge and main bedroom. GRC Island Unit 318 has a new soakaway, which is more efficient and has a lower impact on the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

In addition, the exterior of unit 358 has had a fair bit of work done \u2013 new shade netting has been put up in the parking bays, as well as at the patio area; and the fence in front of the unit was painted.

All doors and windows were sanded down and varnished \u2013 looking brand new.
