A LOCATION LIKE NO OTHER
The village is located in a peaceful rural setting on McDonnell Road close to the historic township of Arrowtown. Surrounded by the foothills of the Southern Alps and bordering two golf courses – it is a location quite unlike any other. The 12 hectare site is sheltered and sunny, and well away from the noise and congestion found closer to Frankton and Queenstown.
What’s more is that Arrowtown Lifestyle Retirement Village will be – quite literally – New Zealand’s top retirement village. The site’s altitude means village residents will enjoy majestic views of snow-capped peaks and stunning autumn colours.
The proximity to Arrowtown ensures easy access to shops, cafes, galleries and a number of sports and social clubs. Frankton is just a short drive away where residents can access a variety of supermarkets, shopping centres, and an international airport.
