Why choose a Retirement Village in Northland?
At the tip of the North Island you’ll find a string of retirement villages scattered along the stunning coastline towns of Northland, and a cluster of them in the city of Whangārei. Known as the winterless north, this region offers something for everyone – world renowned beaches and fishing, bush and beach walks for the active retiree, plus cafes and shopping, and plenty of clubs and activities for the joiners.
Many of the Northland towns are coastal, but others, like Dargaville, reflect their history and farming heritage. And this region is certainly rich in history. From Tāne Mahuta to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Aotearoa New Zealand’s sense of self is grounded in the north.
You’ll find a choice of not only retirement lifestyles but also of types of villages through this region. Some are owned by local community trusts or charitable foundations. There are villages under development and long-established ones. Some offer contemporary style apartments, others have cottages and townhouses. You can choose from lifestyle villages, and those with care facilities on site.
Do you want to be near the beach or close to town amenities? Are your green fingers itching to garden in the warmth? Or are you looking to keep your bridge or bowling skills in trim?
