A place to share views, keep in touch and even buy, sell or borrow items from your fellow owners
e) Members
- Faces to names
- This area shows details of registered owners. You can add a profile picture too which will help us all recognise each other when we arrive at the complex …. Some of us for the first time.
- Notifications
You can enter your email address here to receive alerts and updates on posts to the website.
-Holiday dates
You can also enter the dates you will be visiting the complex. This is helpful in knowing who will be on the complex when you arrive … and maybe have a party or two around the pool.
f) Calendar
This displays owners holiday dates and any other important dates (meetings for example) for everyone to see
g) Contact
This allows you to send a message to the website administrators.
Site tools
From this menu you can:
- Notifications
See any changes or messages added to the site since your last visit. One click and you see all of the updates in one convenient place
- Profile button
Pressing the down arrow allows you to view and edit your website profile
- Language
This option allows to select your preferred language. The website will then be automatically translated for you. This works for the majority of the website but doesn’t work in all areas unfortunately
Members Chat
This area works in a similar way to Messenger. Use it to chat with other owners in private. There is also a group function, again similar to Messenger which allows a group of owners to discuss matters of interest to them but not necessarily all Owners
This area is accessible from the members chat area of the website and is used to Chat privately with other owners, either individually or as part of a Group Chat. This can be useful when discussing things which may not be of interest to the wider community.

2. Selecting this option allows you to see previous “Chats” as well as the option to start a new “Chat”
3. Selecting “New Chat” allows you to create a “Group Chat” or “Chat” to an individual owner.
