Living options

Arvida retirement communities currently offer 1,541 aged care beds and 212 care suites. With over 4,126 retirement living units providing care services and accommodation to over 6,750+ residents across 34 communities.

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

A number of Arvida communities offer independent living in villas and townhouses, which range in size from one to three bedrooms. Floor plans, styles and furnishings are different in every location, so each home has architectural character and features unique to its community. Most homes have a single or double garage.

Living in a villa or townhouse within an Arvida community gives you the freedom of independent living, but without the security and maintenance worries of traditional home ownership. You can come and go as you please and the family can stay any time.

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.
