Service Information
Facility information supplied by provider.
This business is part of ACACIA COVE VILLAGE.
Acacia Cove Retirement Village located in Wattle Downs, Auckland, (near the Wattle Downs Golf & Country Club) is a "planned environment aimed at providing superior, spacious accommodation with security and independence. Acacia Cove Village offers a retirement village lifestyle - Less home and garden maintenance, additional security, access to facilities rarely found in a conventional retirement home and neighbours of a similar age with which to enjoy them." Their website continues to say "The village offers a variety of organised community activities, regular outings and events as well as top quality facilities. With the bowling green, indoor pool and activities room all facing the sun and estuary, comparisons are hard to find. For those relaxed afternoons in the sun, the lounge and restaurant provide the perfect place to sit in the company of friends and neighbours."
