Living options

At Arvida, thousands of residents across New Zealand call our retirement communities home. From independent villas and apartments to care suites and aged care, our villages offer living options to suit a wide range of needs and lifestyles. Whether someone seeks independence or peace of mind through full-time care, each location provides comfort, connection, and a true sense of belonging.

Arvida retirement villages are located across key regions of New Zealand, including Northland, Auckland, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Taranaki, Manawatū, Wellington, Nelson, Canterbury, and Queenstown.

We’re proud to offer some of New Zealand’s best retirement living options, with communities across the country and have plans to expand further.

Arvida provides a wide range of accommodation to suit every lifestyle and care need — from brand-new independent villas and apartments to serviced apartments and studios for semi-independent living. For those requiring higher levels of support, we offer rest home rooms, hospital-level care beds, and secure dementia care facilities.

Flexible care service plans are available, tailored to your individual needs, whether you're living independently or require full-time care.

Our options

Villa

Many Arvida communities offer independent living in beautifully designed villas and townhouses, thoughtfully crafted to suit a variety of lifestyles. With layouts ranging from cosy one-bedroom homes to more spacious three-bedroom options, each residence has its own unique style, floor plan, and architectural charm that reflects the character of its community. Most homes also include the convenience of a single or double garage.

Living in an Arvida villa or townhouse means enjoying the freedom of your own home—without the stress of maintenance or security concerns. You can come and go as you please, travel with peace of mind, and welcome family to stay whenever it suits you.

Can I bring my pet to an Arvida community?

If you’ve been looking to move into a retirement village, you might be wondering if you can bring your beloved pet with you.

A conversation and meeting with the village manager to meet your pet for suitability could see you and your pet making a new home in one of Arvida’s Living Well Communities across New Zealand.

Whether it’s a dog, cat or bird - pets settle easily into Arvida villages and there’s also plenty of beautifully landscaped gardens and pathways to take dogs for regular walks too.

The Arvida team understand how important pets are to their owners, and it’s important for them to meet your pet and make sure they are the perfect fit for the retirement community.

Just think of all the dog walkers and pet-sitters you’ll have when the neighbours fall in love with your pet too.
