About Elmwood
Elmwood is a modern and welcoming Care Centre conveniently situated on Hill Road in Manurewa, a friendly and well-connected part of South Auckland opposite Auckland’s renown Botanic Gardens.
We offer Rest Home, Hospital and Respite care delivered by a dedicated team who take the time to understand each resident’s needs, preferences and routines. Our thoughtfully designed Care Suites allow residents that extra space to personalise their home. Most suites have their own patio or balcony to enjoy the colourful gardens, and from the upper levels, the sweeping outlooks across the surrounding suburbs.
Elmwood’s accessible location makes visiting easy for families across South Auckland. Loved ones often enjoy stopping in after local errands, exploring the Botanic Gardens together or simply relaxing in Elmwood’s shared spaces – such as our vibrant café or one of many quiet little nooks. It’s a place where residents feel safe, supported and truly at home.

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.
