SPELDHURST COUNTRY ESTATE LIFESTYLE VILLAGE

This exciting 48-hectare Lifestyle Village, at 70 Kimberley Rd, Levin has been developed on the leafy grounds of what was the Kimberley Hospital, that closed its doors in 2001.
“The scale of this lifestyle development is very significant for a community like the Horowhenua,” developer Wayne Bishop says.
“With our aging population and the Road of National Significance connecting Levin more closely to Wellington, we are very excited about what the future holds for our Village.”
He points out Speldhurst offers wider lifestyle appeal than a typical retirement complex.
“It is a retirement village, but it’s set in a rural lifestyle-type environment with community facilities.

The hub of the Village is the community centre known as 'The George' which is home to several facilities including: a heated indoor swimming pool, spa pool, fitness room, social room and kitchen, billiards room, hobby room, library, outdoor BBQ and courtyard area and the social lounge. The George Cafe is very popular, both with the residents and the general public, and offers amazing meals and service.

Other facilities available on the grounds include: a village hall (currently housing indoor bowls, badminton, table tennis, pickle ball and darts), a men's shed (workshop full of tools and equipment for those who like to tinker), a bowling green, a croquet club with lawn, bird aviary, the cottage for various health care providers, a chapel (dating back to WWII times that has been refurbished) and secure lock up facilities.

Pricing for our homes are available on request so for any further information please don't hesitate to contact us or simply pop in for a look in person!
