Retirement Villages Southland

The southern edge of the world offers plenty of options for your retirement years.

The region’s largest city of Invercargill offers old-world heritage architecture, wide streets, and the beautiful Queens Park gardens which give it a unique charm. While Invercargill is famous as the home of Bert Munro, who set the world land speed record in 1967 on his Indian Scout motorbike, neighbouring Gore is the centre of country music in New Zealand, hosting an annual music festival. The seaside town of Aparima Riverton, with its longstanding history of our Māori and Pākehā ancestors, offers the chance to get up close to nature by exploring the iconic Riverton Rocks area or swimming, surfing, or even dolphin watching in the surrounding bays.

There are other advantages to this area. The long summer daylight hours in Southland mean you can garden, play golf, or walk round the neighbourhood into the summer evenings.

Many retirement villages in this region offer a range of care levels, should you require this in future. And, of course, there’s also a choice of styles of villas, townhouses, and apartments.
