Kapiti Village’s unique retirement lifestyle will blow your socks off! Set on 18 hectares, with Kapiti Island on one side and the Tararua ranges on the other, our village boasts its own forest, lakes and wildlife.

At Kapiti Village we are close to local amenities, have a range of outstanding facilities and a vibrant social life – but if you’d prefer to relax and enjoy the environment you have all the space you need.

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.
