Our team and village staff are passionate, caring, and dedicated to delivering retirement living that rivals our competitors, and that our Residents can be proud to call home. Our Villages are nothing without our beautiful residents whom are the heart and soul of each of our retirement communities, and nothing gives us more satisfaction than providing a quality product and witnessing firsthand - our residents enjoying a lifestyle much deserving of them.”

Hopper Living 2022 Round Up

GENERAL MANAGER MESSAGE

A Year of Big Achievements

This year, more than any other, I am in awe of how much we have achieved. Somehow having dragged ourselves into 2022 after the previous two years, we have collectively, not only managed to get back to a sense of normality but thrive as well. This is due to the wonderful people that we have across the Villages, both staff and residents, who have found a special resilience and determination which they have applied to making sure that their Village is a place where they can celebrate and enjoy the lifestyle that our Villages are known for. Thank you to our teams who have made many opportunities happen and looked after our residents so well. Thank you to our residents for choosing to make one of our Villages home and contributing your life to the collective lifestyle that you all enjoy. May this Christmas season bring you rest, peace and joy.

Ruth Scandrett (& Snoopy)
General Manager

Country Club Huapai

The Country Club has grown exponentially this year, adding new villas and apartments, including the building of the new Bacchus block. Residents helped us celebrate recently reaching the milestone of 100 residents, we held a special event in the bar including our staff, residents, and some of our company Directors and shareholders too. Cabra and Hoppers came together, with Ian Boocock and Leigh Hopper, sharing their stories of how they first met many years ago, and have been able to create a wholesome personal and business relationship resulting in joining together in creating a feel-good project such as the Country Club.

The Anchorage Village

The Anchorage Retirement Village has been lucky to see the resident numbers grow, as popular demand for the garden villas grew. The Village is a buzz, the rain has done wonders to the flourishing subtropical landscaping, the additions of a new Village van, the man-shed, and the boat ramp and pontoon all installed and ready for the residents to use this summer.

We also have frames up on the new waterfront villas which will aim to be completed early next year. These new accommodation offerings will offer unprecedented waterfront views and access to the canal, unlike any other Retirement Village in New Zealand.

If you’d like to know more visit our website or talk with the lovely Rebecca at the Anchorage Sales Office.

Maygrove Village and Hospital

Maygrove Village celebrated its 20th anniversary this year, marking a momentous occasion for everyone

involved. We celebrated the entire month of August, hosting a series of events, gifts and giveaways, and

topping it all off with a Gatsby-themed party for our residents and staff. It was especially special to be able to celebrate with some residents whom have been living with us at Maygrove for 20 years, since the very conception of our much-loved Village.

In conjunction with our celebrations, we were pleased to announce plans for a refurbishment of the Village main building common areas. Designs have been finalised and are currently awaiting approval council. Maygrove Village is also honoured to be selected as a finalist in the People’s Choice Awards for Best Large Retirement Village and Best Aged Care Hospital. Congratulations to the Maygrove Village team for their recognition.

Merry Christmas

We hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and Summer Holidays with your loved ones. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!
