Moving to San Sereno has been one of the best decisions Wendy and I have made. The focus on resident security, wellbeing, and entertainment is truly exceptional. Having led major organisations throughout my career, I can confidently say the motivation and customer-centric approach of the San Sereno team is of the highest standard. A particular highlight is the Care Centre, which has provided outstanding support to Wendy and brought us both great comfort.

The whole ethos at Royal View is such that I have not hesitated to have business meetings with CEO clients here. One such CEO introduced me to a colleague by saying, “Nick is the only person I know who has a holiday home in Johannesburg”.

This place is absolutely wonderful - it’s more than I could have hoped for. I’m really enjoying the variety of exercise classes; they’re not only fun but also a great way to stay active and meet new people. One of the highlights of my week is definitely the Wednesday ‘Golden Oldies’ film screenings in our cozy cinema. There’s something so special about relaxing with a classic movie and good company -it’s become a tradition I truly look forward to!

This is not retirement. This is living. What an apt and profound statement this is from Auria; it truly describes our daily lives as residents at Woodside Village. It is such a wonderful privilege to live in this spot. I could never have dreamed that this life here would actually be mine.

From the moment I moved into Royal View, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere that permeates every aspect of life. The staff are friendly, caring and dedicated to ensuring that every resident feels at home. Auria’s leadership has been instrumental in creating this sense of community and I am grateful for their vision, compassion and commitment to excellence.

The staff at San Sereno are exceptional - always warm, friendly, and ready to help, from the care centre to the gardeners and security team. The facilities are unmatched; after visiting retirement villages in South Africa, Australia, and New Zealand, none compare to San Sereno. The ongoing upgrades under Auria’s leadership have been impressive, and the range of activities available is truly remarkable

Well-being in a retirement community should however embrace all of the individual physical, mental and social/emotional health of those residing there. Auria attends to all three at an exceptional level.
