Service Information

Facility information supplied by provider.

This business is part of BUPA RETIREMENT VILLAGES .

Glenburn Retirement Village, New Lynn in Waitakere / Auckland is stated as being "located in one of New Lynn's little nooks" within Waitakere, Auckland. "It is situated near a bus stop, and just up the road from the township and train station."

The Bupa website goes on to say that they have a lovely, cosy environment where they make people feel at home. They offer one and two bedroom apartments that allow you to enjoy independent living while keeping involved in the buzzing community culture if you choose.

They state that the Glenburn Retirement Village "is intimate - small enough to be quiet and personal but large enough for residents to form friendships and have a sense of community." They boast three community lounges that serve as social hubs, a well-stocked library, pool table, hair salon, gymnasium and indoor bowls area. The village also like to keep the social calendar filled with regular outings, movies, visits from entertainers and plenty more.

No "home maintainance' to worry about
4 / 5 ★
Most entertainment initiated and run by residents themselves. Village has appartments only. Safe and secure. No 'home maintainance' to worry about.

Not Too Big
4 / 5 ★
Happy to talk to you if required.<br /> Looked for a nice place to live without worry. Did visiting for years for church and saw all sorts of reasons not to stay in my house and become a burden to my children. Only small place was here, with proper facilities. Been here 9yrs NO regrets.
