Who caught yesterday’s interview on The Breeze with Epsom Village? Robert and Jeanette had a lovely chat with our Village Manager, Lillian, and our superstar maintenance officer, Les.

Real Living villages regularly host inspirational speakers, and one of the most remarkable this year was Grant Sharman, a Board member of Mouth and Foot Painting Artists—an internationally recognized society of disabled artists who create art using their mouth or foot. Grant’s incredible journey captivated the audience as he shared his life story—how a childhood accident reshaped his future, leading him to become an accomplished artist, a wheelchair rugby team captain, and a gold medalist. His resilience, talent, and determination left everyone truly inspired.

Eden and Sky City, the modern, well-appointed apartments, and the friendly community where you can opt in or out of as many activities as you like.

Auckland is full of hidden gems that make for a fantastic day out, and one of them is West Lynn Gardens in New Lynn.

Epsom Village residents recently enjoyed a stunning sunny day at West Lynn Gardens, where they strolled through the beautiful grounds and, of course, visited the enchanting Butterfly House.
