History in the making

Wanaka Retirement Village is the lakeside town's first life-care retirement village and you can be a part of it.

This is your chance to be the first resident of a stunning new villa or apartment brimming with eco-friendly features that will make your life easy to live.

The Village’s developers, Presbyterian Support Otago, wanted a modern complex people would be proud to live in, yet one in which it was economical to live throughout all the seasons. The eco-friendly, energy efficient apartments and villas are designed to comply with The New Zealand Green Building Council’s ‘Green Star’ rating scheme, making it the market leader other developers will want to emulate.

Costing $8.5 million, the complex has a two-storey apartment block with eight apartments; four one-bedroom and four two-bedroom – while the 14 villas are available in two different floor plans, each with an internally accessed garage.

Sited adjacent to Elmslie House Rest Home and Hospital, the beautifully landscaped, inviting Village is close to the bowling, croquet and tennis clubs, the lake and Millennium walkway. You will certainly appreciate a flat walk to town and the proximity to community services. We know you will enjoy living in Wanaka Retirement Village and look forward to welcoming you as soon as the development process is completed.

Services for older People

Presbyterian Support Otago's philosophy in its Services for Older People, promotes and enables older people have positive roles. This is achieved by building on strengths and abilities, being relevant to individual need, to support older people to be as healthy as possible and ensure they are treated with respect. PSO leads the way in providing services in with them, whether in the community, retirement villages or residential care.

Those of you who live in Wanaka Retirement Village will be encouraged to stay in your home as long as you wish; services can be put in place to keep you in control of their own destiny. The success in converting that philosophy into practice was recently recognised by a Ministry of Health audit, which awarded Elmslie House (Wanaka) and Taieri Court (Mosgiel) with four-year service certification. If the time comes when Wanaka Retirement Village residents ask Elmslie House for assistance then they do so knowing the Rest Home is one of the best in New Zealand.
