The 17 Cottages share a site with Glenwood Home in Timaru. The reasonably priced Occupation Right Agreement, low monthly service maintenance fee, and the high standard of accommodation continues to make the cottages an attractive option for people in their retirement years. We have embarked on a programme to update and modernise our cottages. All the units, have safer wet-floor showers, energy efficient heating, modernized interiors and new kitchens to provide an open, inviting work space for those who love to cook and bake. For those who love gardening, there are lovely little gardens surrounding each cottage, as well as the central garden for the cottages. the gardeners supports individual gardens. You can potter at will, or just enjoy the park-like surroundings. |

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (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. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
