The Heart of the Holiday: Our Christmas Market

Few things capture the magic of the season quite like a festive Christmas market, and our villages are alive with holiday cheer as traditional markets fill the lounges. At Remuera Gardens, residents were enchanted by a wonderful array of treats, including homemade chocolates, Christmas puddings, and homemade jams and pickles that filled the room with the promise of festive joy.

Residents also enjoyed the chance to shop for their loved ones, choosing from a charming selection of toys for grandchildren, stylish clothing, elegant handbags, and stunning pieces of jewelry to treat themselves or share as special gifts.

Christmas is a cherished time in our villages, bringing families and friends together through festive markets, lively Christmas quizzes, and, of course, our much-anticipated traditional Christmas functions.
