Two-bedroom villa's available now! Secure yours day!

Enliven, the trusted name in positive ageing services, is excited to bring to the Wairarapa the very best in modern retirement living with Kandahar Village.

Situated just off Totara Street, Lansdowne, these architecturally designed, modern villas are situated to make the most of the Wairarapa sunshine. You’ll find the villas to be light and bright in summer and warm and snug in winter.

Enliven, known for our holistic approach to care, has crafted Kandahar Village with retirees in mind. This meticulously designed development offers 52 private villas with Lifemark 4 accessibility features, signifying thoughtfulness and consideration for the ageing process.

Moving to Kandahar Village means you can continue to live your life your way. You can sit back, relax, and enjoy retirement with peace of mind knowing you are part of a supportive community and help is on hand if you need it.

The villas at Kandahar Village have been modelled on Enliven’s sought-after Kowhainui Villas in Whanganui – so we already know you’ll feel right at home. Residents tell us they love the modern, light, sunny, and spacious villas, and there’s always a waiting list to join the popular village.

At Enliven, we believe retirement is not about slowing down (unless you want to!); it’s about having the time to do the things you enjoy most. Enliven’s Kandahar Village has been designed to let you make the most of your retirement years.
