About Eastgrove Village
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.

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
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.
