A great testimonial message from the family of one of our residents at Kalyra Belair: "Mum celebrated her 80th with 40 family and friends at Kalyra last Saturday. She had a wonderful time and thoroughly enjoyed herself. The menu was great, the staff fantastic and the venue perfect for celebrating for all ages with no steps to navigate, great air-conditioning and other environmental features that suit people of all ages – especially those fortunate enough to have reached their 80’s! (and like mum, with a few memory challenges!) Thank you Kalyra staff for the support, care and enabling the party."

We have a generator providing emergency lighting and power, our phones are working and we have portable cool rooms for our kitchen. It is anticipated that power will be returned to the site at 3pm tomorrow. Thank you to our wonderful staff team for holding everything together.
