“It took all the stress away for me and my family.”

Imagine living in a self-contained studio apartment with your own private deck area to enjoy sunshine and beautiful gardens, but without the burdens of day-to-day tasks. Remuera Gardens serviced apartments are designed for those who require extra assistance, with services such as laundry, bed linen changes, breakfast ingredients, cooked lunch, and dinner all included in the weekly fee.

For residents like Lynette, moving into a serviced apartment dramatically increased the quality of her life: “Being able to move into a Serviced Apartment at Remuera Gardens was a lifesaver for me. I could maintain my independence without the stress and worry of the day-to-day chores. It also took the stress away from my family, knowing I was in a safe environment. I love living here at Remuera Gardens; I wake up every morning to the sound of Tuis in the beautiful gardens that surround my lovely apartment. I have made some wonderful friends who are now part of my family. I can go to a movie, work out in the gym, or have a dip in the pool, all without having to even go outside. Everything I need is right here, and I’m very happy.”

Compact in design, our serviced apartments are attached directly to Beattie Lodge, which means direct access to all our fantastic facilities: the heated indoor pool and spa, gym, art room, billiards, table tennis, community lounges, library, and TV room. Additionally, Remuera Gardens’ most spectacular asset in the village is a 45-seat tiered cinema with comfortable seats of the same standard as professional theaters.

Maureen has lived in Remuera Gardens for five years and she couldn’t be happier with her decision: “Over the last five years, I have made some good friends at the village. Living in a Serviced Apartment has been great for me. I can remain independent while having all my meals, cleaning, and more provided by the lovely staff here at the village. I really enjoy the beautiful grounds and gardens. There is a range of activities to choose from. I really enjoy my life here at Remuera Gardens!”

Remuera Gardens serviced apartments have one or two bedrooms, ranging from 34m² to 68m², with prices starting at $380,000. The village is beautifully situated within a spacious landscaped park. With lush greenery, colorful flowers, and well-manicured lawns, the village’s gardens offer a serene and picturesque environment for residents to enjoy all year round.

Additionally, the village is centrally located in a peaceful cul-de-sac street in the suburb of Remuera, with Remuera Village, Ellerslie Racecourse, bowls, bridge, and a golf club only a few minutes’ drive away. The village’s shuttle makes regular local trips to shopping areas and garden centers, plus weekly trips to gorgeous destinations like Hamilton Gardens, Snells Beach, or Karioitahi Beach. Stuart is one of the residents who enjoys joining the excursions to amazing destinations: “I have been a resident at Remuera Gardens since 2022. I enjoy living here and get a lot of pleasure from the beautiful gardens and grounds that surround our apartments. The staff and residents are always very friendly, and we have a variety of activities on offer. As I use public transport, it is handy to a couple of bus routes. What I love the most is that I can enjoy myself and not have to worry about any day-to-day chores. Our studio apartments are very comfortable with everything we need, and we can sit out on our decks and enjoy the garden and sunshine. Remuera Gardens is a great place to reside.”

At Remuera Gardens, our residents are actively encouraged to maintain their independence. In fact, the support package available on request makes it possible to live independently for longer. If you’re interested in joining our community, you’re welcome to visit our village, walk around, chat with our residents, and be sure it feels like a place where you can truly belong. Feel free to give Remuera Gardens Sales Manager, Lyn, a call at 021845524 or email lyn.ellis@realliving.co.nz.
