About Green Gables
Green Gables boast a fantastic central location on Bridge Street, only a short stroll from the heart of Nelson town — cafés, shops, restaurants and local amenities are all on the doorstep and the popular Suter Art Gallery is across the road. Life at Green Gables blends easy access to town with a tranquil residential feel, letting residents remain part of the broader Nelson community.
At Green Gables, aged care comes with comfort and continuity. The centre offers Rest Home and Hospital-level care via premium Care Suites — including studio or one-bedroom options, all with kitchenettes and private ensuite bathrooms, with most having either a balcony or patio for easy outdoor access. With just 61 Care Suites on site, the community remains intimate and welcoming, making it easy for residents and their families to feel known and connected.
Because of its central Nelson location, Green Gables offers more than just care: it offers convenience. Families and friends can drop in easily, enjoy local restaurants or organise outings nearby. The closeness to Nelson’s vibrant town centre means residents can stay connected to the rhythms of everyday life — a meaningful balance of care and community.

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.
