An outstanding lifestyle village
5 / 5 ★
The management works in conjunction with a sister village in Wanaka and their experience is shared to provide the best possible options. This works well, but needs to be actively maintained and developed.

Peace, tranquility, activity and companionship - it's all here. Residents and staff take much pride in this village, a strong sense of community. The gardens and plants are beautifully maintained. The natural beauty of the surroundings are stunning.

English Country Village Feel
5 / 5 ★
Arrowtown lifestyle village is like an English country village. Very well landscaped to ensure privacy and handy to the impressive lodge which offers all amenities. It is extremely friendly and well administered by a competent and caring staff. In a country setting bounded by three golf courses it is a delight to live.

Thank you for your efforts on a just and fair exit repayment timeframe. I fully support and agree with 10% initial payment followed by a full remaining payment within 4 months.

Excellent village experience
5 / 5 ★
Over a period of visiting this village along with others in the lower part of the South Island we knew & felt strongly this village was for us. The staff are hard working, thoughtful and keen to help all occupants. A delightful caring workforce to one & all. All living here are participants in activities to be active, up to date - informed & tutored or enjoyed.
