Nestled among peaceful English gardens in the heart of Blockhouse Bay, Powley offers residents the conveniences and security of village life, with the beauty of the bay a short stroll away. City amenities are here, too – Powley is an easy bus ride from Lynn Mall Shopping Centre and Auckland Central.

We have the option of a one or two-bedroom cottage. offering modern kitchens, large sized bedrooms and some with a conservatory or private outdoor deck. All cottages are architecturally designed and within walking distance to neighbours and recreational facilities. In addition, each cottage is surrounded by spacious and picturesque gardens that reflect the seasons.

You have the option to take care of household tasks or choose from a range of service and care packages delivered to you in your home. Spacious serviced apartments are designed for residents who require additional services such as cleaning, regular meals and personal care services. If you ever need greater daily support, Powley offers rest home and residential hospital level care on-site. Help is always a button-push away for any resident, thanks to our 24-hour emergency call system.

Village amenities include a barbeque area, dining room, games room, hairdressing salon, chapel, library, lounge, petanque terrain and pool table.
