Full house for Remuera Gardens Village Party

Last Friday's Village party at Remuera Gardens was a roaring success. Beattie Lodge was again at full capacity with more than 40 residents participating in the event. They all enjoyed the performance of the Madeleines Trio, a vintage three part harmony trio based in Auckland. The trio is made up of Shannon Evison, Hannah Kee and Jess Rogers, three singers who have worked internationally in musical theatre. On Friday they sang jazz and swing hits from the 20s to the 60s. For the residents it was a great occasion to gather with their friends, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and get their feet tapping to sophisticated tunes.

A village with heart

“I’ve never had a moment’s doubt about my decision to move to Epsom Village.” Like Karen, so many of our residents are so happy with their new lifestyle that they don’t want to keep it to themselves. As a proud New Zealand family-owned village, we offer a level of care, warmth, and personal connection that big corporate operators simply can’t replicate. With only 90 residents, Epsom Village is intimate, charming, and distinctive — a place with real character and soul.
