The Hill Pukekohe

Sanderson Group villages are widely regarded as the benchmark in New Zealand retirement living. Set against the scenic rise of Pukekohe Hill, The Hill offers residents a coveted elevated outlook with a northerly aspect that makes the most of the region's sunshine hours. High gable roofs, cedar cladding and hand-moulded Belgian bricks complement the surrounding landscape and the open, rural character that makes this corner of Franklin so special.

At the heart of the village, a carefully curated selection of amenities will include an onsite café (under construction), clubhouse, and exceptional care facilities - ensures that life at The Hill is both relaxed and well supported. Every detail has been considered.

The villas themselves are designed for absolute comfort and luxury — spacious standalone homes with two or three bedrooms, ranging from 160m² to 275m², with designer kitchens, stone bench-tops, heated bathroom floors, walk-in wardrobes and premium finishes throughout.

Whether you already know and love the area, or you're discovering Pukekohe for the first time, one thing quickly becomes clear: this is where real kiwis live beautifully.

Pukekohe is rich in farming heritage and community spirit, a major agricultural hub where fresh produce is grown right on the doorstep. The town centre is just a four-minute drive away, with local cafes, restaurants, fine food grocers, hair and beauty salons, art galleries, a library, medical centres and pharmacy. There's a thriving wellness community, a vibrant dining scene, and best of all you can probably still find a car park right outside.

It's an active, connected community that gets behind local events, sport and a wide range of social clubs. Golf lovers will appreciate the recently refurbished Pukekohe Golf Club - many locals rate it among the best courses in Auckland. And for days in the city, the new electric rail service from Pukekohe to Britomart puts Auckland's amenities and international airport well within reach.

Oh - and don't forget to bring your shopping bags. You can't leave without picking up some fresh local veges!
