Wanjuru is a residential smaller community in Cassowary Coast with a familiar suburban feel. Out in the wider region, it rewards those who value open country and a pace set by the land, not the clock. A younger crowd gives the area energy.
The town centre holds its own, with enough local flavour to make staying close to home appealing. Local identity runs deep. This is the kind of place people stay once they have found it.
Homes offer solid value for the lifestyle on offer.
