About Eastgrove Village

Eastgrove Village logo

Eastgrove Village offers relaxed, modern retirement living in a warm, friendly community. Tucked within spacious grounds filled with mature trees and bursts of cherry blossom in spring, the village provides a calm, leafy setting that feels instantly welcoming.

Our 19 independent living villas are designed for comfort and convenience — contemporary, low-maintenance homes that give you the freedom to add your own personal touch. It’s an ideal option for those who value independence while still enjoying a supportive community around them.

The location is hard to beat: the Whanganui River is only moments from your door, with Kowhai Park an easy stroll away. A short five-minute drive places you in the heart of town, surrounded by cafés, eateries, and boutique stores.
