Enliven's sought-after Kowhainui Village has been carefully laid out across two neighbouring sites in the prestigious suburb of Otametea.

The 17 modern, purpose-built brick villas on Edith Collier Drive, many with an attached conservatory, each boast private courtyards set among established rose gardens. The 16 boutique villas on Kowhainui Drive are set in beautiful park-like surroundings, each with private garden areas. Both sites share the vibrant Kowhainui lifestyle that residents love and offer boutique retirement living at its best.

Each of the two bedroom villas include:

- a modern kitchen complete with oven, hob, rangehood and dishwasher
- heat pump/air conditioning unit
- modern, wet-floor bathroom
- garage
- private courtyard or garden area
- quality carpet and slip-resistant vinyl flooring
- quality curtains and blinds

At Kowhainui Village, everything is at your fingertips. While the village is placed outside the hustle and bustle of town for peace and quiet, it is only a 15 minute walk from St John’s Hill Shopping Centre, which includes a chemist, dairy, hairdressers, and takeaway shop.

However, one of the best things about a move to Kowhainui Village is you can focus on enjoying your retirement while we take care of the rest. We’ll look after the property maintenance and gardening; we even offer meals and housekeeping services.

The icing on the cake for the residents of Enliven’s Kowhainui Village is knowing that by purchasing a villa, they’re investing in the future. As a not-for-profit organisation, all the proceeds from the sale of Enliven’s retirement villas and apartments are invested back into Enliven facilities, or into social services for vulnerable children and families provided by Family Works, which is also part of Presbyterian Support Central.

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.
