Testimonials
| Kelvin Grove residents comments. "My decision to move into MiLife has enabled me to be part of a community with like minded, friendly people. The range of activities suit everyone's tastes and are varied on a monthly basis. I have everything I need in my Vila and also enjoy activities outside the Village." Colleen. "I would not have been able to afford the quality of home and lifestyle had I not moved into the village". Joyce. I am from Auckland, I moved to Palmerston North 18 months ago to be near family, MiLife was the 5th we looked at in Palmerston North in one day. The minute I walked through the gates I knew this is where I wanted to live as it wasn’t as large as others we’d looked at. Andrew took us to look for through an empty villa , came for a second look at week later and put my name down. When I was handed my keys it was a weight lifted off my shoulders . I love my little brick home it’s warm, everything is on the same level. I can still do my garden. Andrew and Mark are a great team to have here, both very approachable. I have found everyone welcoming, you can do as much or as little as you want with activities. I have been on some lovely bus trips. Very happy to be here. Flo |

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.
