Testimonials
Until her death on 25 March 2011 at the age of 98, my mother Phyllis Jans was a resident at Princess Alexandra Retirement Village in Napier, the first 3 years in a serviced apartment then for the past 3 years in the resthome.
I am pleased to advise the care she received from all staff was loving and professional.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Princess Alexandra to anyone who may be considering residence at this facility.

The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (hereafter referred to as The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who buy into a retirement village. If you intend to purchase you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Further information about Retirement Villages is available in the section 'Frequent Questions'. Some Retirement Villages are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please do your homework.
