Wanaka Retirement Village is certainly the place to thrive in your retirement. Located in the heart of one of the South Island’s best-loved towns. The village is close to picturesque Lake Wanaka and its foreshore parks, and just a short, flat walk from the town centre.

With 13 apartments, 3 cottages and 14 villas, Wanaka Retirement Village is small enough to foster a real sense of belonging, but not at the expense of privacy. Our two bedroom Oamaru stone villas come in two L-shaped floor plans, both with outdoor areas, luxury bathrooms and internally accessed garages. The light and airy apartments have one and two bedrooms, modern appliances and an allocated parking space. Wanaka Retirement Village is known for its stylish, eco-friendly architecture, with buildings for very comfortable living in all four seasons. For residents, that means comfortable temperatures all year round, at reasonable energy costs. All our homes are fitted with an emergency response system, and residents have the peace of mind of knowing that there’s a care home, Elmslie House, right next door. They also have access to a range of services, including housekeeping and meals.

Residents have created a friendly community at the Village, where residents enjoy both independence and companionship. The village lounge is a popular spot for movies and family gatherings, as well as meeting up for Friday night drinks. The village van runs regular shopping trips into town, and residents plan outings and activities. Relax with a coffee in the sunny, sheltered courtyard, or enjoy the lovely walks that wider Wanaka has to offer. Hairdressing and podiatry services are also available on a user-pays basis.
