A RETIREMENT LIKE NO OTHER

New concept retirement villages offers “living each day on holiday” but with the comforts of home.

-

There is a lot of talk about retirement lifestyle and living at the moment. But what does ‘lifestyle’ actually mean? Many people would say lifestyle means simply enjoying life or perhaps being active, getting outdoors and making the most of this fantastic country. Others may say that lifestyle is belonging to a community, being part of a family and spending quality time together.

When looking for a lifestyle property, especially in retirement, these are some of the benefits many of us seek.

One of New Zealand’s leading property developers has, for over 60 years, been creating communitie­s that believe in enabling those lifestyle benefits. Hoppers, a company renowned for coastal waterways and its family vision for Pauanui, a resort-style beach community, has proven the Kiwi beach lifestyle is the dream of many

New Zealanders.

The waterways projects in Pauanui, Whitianga and Marsden Cove, just south of Whangarei, are destinatio­ns with a lifestyle like no other and have establishe­d Hoppers as lifestyle experts.

When it comes to retirement, Hopper Living delivers the same vision, creating communitie­s that focus on and enable lifestyle.

Maygrove Village in Orewa was the first retirement community Hoppers created in 2001. The complex is close to the Orewa estuary and has a focus on community, social engagement and activities that promote an active way of life. Other benefits include a bar & restaurant, the added security of a gated community and a care facility on site. Maygrove is not like the big corporate-style retirement villages and the company is actively involved with its residents, being one of the few to offer a capital gains scheme.

Hopper Living has in recent times establishe­d retirement offerings within the waterway’s projects at Marsden Cove and Whitianga Waterways, enabling a retirement lifestyle destinatio­n unique to New Zealand.

The benefits of retiring in one of these unparallel­led destinatio­ns can be compared to living each day on holiday but with the comforts of home and more. Both Anchorage Village at Marsden Cove and Marlin Waters at Whitianga Waterways are located in beautiful coastal regions, are friendly and diverse communitie­s, and enable an active way of life. Whitianga was recently named as the best town in New Zealand for lifestyle.

The latest retirement venture from Hopper Living is the premier Country Club Huapai. The beautifull­y designed village offers stylish villa and apartment living unlike any other in Auckland. The first stage of villas are nearing completion, beautifull­y finished and designed for easy care living means interest has been high.

The main apartment and amenities building is under constructi­on now and will boast world-class, resort-style facilities. Located on the old Nobilo winery site, Country Club Huapai is close to the village, cafes, wineries and only minutes to Muriwai beach and the golf course. It’s where the city meets wine country.
