Why choose a Retirement Village in Manawatū-Whanganui?
If you’re looking for a varied lifestyle, Manawatū-Whanganui might just be the place for you with mountains, city, and sea all within reach.
Sitting at the mouth of the Whanganui River, steeped in history and the longest navigable waterway in the country, Whanganui has been shaped by its relationship with the river but is now also known for its thriving creative arts scene.
Just an hour’s drive away, you’ll find the region’s largest centre of Palmerston North, home to Massey University and a strong agricultural community. Sporting fans will enjoy regular visits to the New Zealand Rugby Museum, where the grandchildren (and you) can try out your tackling skills and learn more about the history of our national game.
The wider region is a great jumping-off spot for most of the North Island: whether you are taking a day trip to the National Park, beaches or ski fields, or want to take advantage of the ‘lock and leave’ lifestyle of a retirement village and travel further afield across the motu.
