##UPDATE## The recreation centre at The Shire :
#### The recreation Centre at the Shire is currently unavailable, the developers, Lennar, have advised me that they hope this to be completed by March 2010 ####
As a resident of the Shire you will have exclusive access to the brand new family recreational centre. Although the villa has it's own private pool and Jacuzzi you'll find another HUGE pool over at the 'Reccy'. You will also be able to take advantage of the Tennis courts and Volleyball courts. If you have young children there is a playground with swings and slides. If you enjoy pumping iron why not have a workout in the state of the art gym. All of this for free and only to residents of the Shire.
Championsgate:
Champions gate is a 4 minute drive from The Shire @ West Haven, you'll find a number of take away restaurants including Chinese and Pizza that deliver, a huge supermarket called public, 2 Petrol stations, McDonald's and Chillies restaurant. Champions gate is also the home of 2 award winning golf courses designed by Greg Norman. The fabulous new 'Omni Resort' next to Champions gate offers superb golf courses and fine dining. All of this moments from our villa.
Shopping:
Why not take advantage of the wonderful shopping malls in the area. My personal favorite is the Mall at Millenia. The mall boasts some of the most luxurious stores in central Florida including Gucci, Tiffany & Co, Jimmy Choo, Bloomingdales, Macy's, Abercrombie & Fitch and the Apple store. The mall also has some wonderful restaurants including The Cheesecake factory. You'll find the mall just off the i4 at junction 78, approx 5 mins from Universal and 15 mins from Downtown Disney.
The Premium Outlet Stores are also a great option and only 10 mins drive from the villa at exit 68 on the i4. A lovely outside mall, it's a great place to shop and get a tan at the same time! You'll find Ralph Lauren, Diesel, Nike, Lacoste, Coach, Burberry, Hilfiger and Fendi to name a few!
