About Whitby Lakes Retirement Village
Whitby Lakes Retirement Village is located in the heart of the Whitby community, right next door to the Whitby Shopping Centre and overlooking the lake and parkland. It’s also just a short drive to the motorway, making it convenient for both Wellington city and the beaches of the Kapiti Coast.
Whitby Lakes has both apartments and villas, together with an extensive Lifestyle Centre. They are spacious and beautifully appointed - almost all with views of the Whitby hills. Many of the apartments feature cleverly designed conservatories that can either be opened to the sun or shut to create a sheltered space.
While the village is fully sold down, we do get resales from time to time - so it's worth putting your name on the waitlist if you're interested. There are two and three bedroom designs feature spacious open plan living, access to a sheltered deck or courtyard, heat pumps, garaging and storage.
The Lifestyle Centre is the heart of village life at Whitby Lakes. This purpose-built facility houses a heated swimming pool and spa, gym, café and lounge bar, and a library with computer facilities. Enjoy a game of petanque or indoor bowls, challenge a friend to table tennis or pool, or host a barbecue on the lakefront deck. We run a full calendar of events and activities - driven by the interests and needs of our residents.
Whitby Lakes prides itself on being a friendly village with our residents at the heart of what we do. For more information, please make an enquiry.

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
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.
