Retire in style by the sea at Willson Gardens retirement village in Whangamatā. Set within a friendly enclave of just 14 homes, residents can enjoy their own space and pace of life, whilst still feeling part of a caring, connected community.

The two-bedroom units are single storey and easily accessible with an internal garage and underfloor heating, all regularly maintained by an on-site team. That means more time to enjoy life, while practical features like a level-entry shower, wide doorways, and a full climate-control system make everyday routines that little bit easier.

“The units come fully refurbished with stylish new paint, floors, ceilings, and all the modern finishings you’d want in a home. This is a fantastic opportunity to move into a high-quality property as if it’s brand new,” says Bayleys Salesperson Blair Williams.

Generous open-plan living is complemented by a stylish modern kitchen, while ranch sliders lead to a private outdoor area where residents can enjoy sun-drenched summer evenings in a home that’s been tailored for comfortable, independent living.

“It’s perfect to host loved ones visiting or holidaying in the area. Picture long lunches and quiet mornings enjoying the outdoors.”

Tucked within beautifully landscaped gardens and just a short stroll from Whangamatā’s famous shores, residents aren’t far from the nearby village where they can browse the local arts and crafts before having a coffee in one of the street front cafés.

“The sunsets are also best enjoyed with a glass of wine and a bite to eat at the local restaurants and bars, or with a gentle walk along the coast.”

“Additionally, Whangamatā boasts an RSA, golf club, sports club, heated outdoor pool and gym.”

“There’s also a skate park and mini golf for the grandkids when they come to stay.”

It’s future-proofed living with options for additional support if needed. One-bedroom serviced apartments also cater to higher needs, all coming with their own parking and entrance. The apartments are equipped with a microwave, fridge-freezer and a washing machine. There’s also a small courtyard for warmer days and evenings to watch the world go by or enjoy the outlook towards the gardens. A community vegetable plot is also in the pipeline, allowing residents to pick and use herbs in their evening meal.

“Both the units and apartments also give residents access to Moana House rest home and hospital if required, as well as GP beds for short stays and respite care. This all allows for peace of mind should their situation change.”

No matter the weather, there’s always something to keep you entertained. An on-site activities coordinator is there to plan exciting events, and the village courtesy van is available for organised trips into the village and other outings.

A HOME WITH HISTORY

Willson Gardens is part of a broader community legacy, overseen by the Moana House Trust — a charitable organisation founded in 1984 to support the care and accommodation of elderly residents.

“The Trust was established following the generous donation of two hectares of land by local benefactors James and Enid Watt” says General Manager Deborah Padfield. “Since opening its rest home in 1987, Moana House continues to operate as a not-for-profit facility with strong community ties.”

Deborah says the trust is also part of Community Trusts in Care Aotearoa, a collaborative network of independent aged care organisations across the Waikato.

“The group gained international recognition in 2017 when it was named a finalist at the Business Innovation Awards in Singapore for its progressive approach to aged care” “It was a really proud moment that underscores our commitment to sustainable, high-quality service.”

Just an hour from Thames and the Coromandel and 30 minutes from Waihi, Willson Gardens is a little haven not far from great township connections. A great new lifestyle awaits you, all wrapped up in sun, sand and sea at Willson Gardens Village, Whangamatā.
