If you’ve been thinking about retirement living but aren’t sure where to start, an Open Day is the best way to experience a community firsthand. It’s one thing to read about a retirement village, but it’s another to walk through the grounds, meet the people who live there, and imagine yourself in one of the beautifully designed villas.
At Longridge Country Estate, we know that moving into a retirement village is a big decision, and we believe it should be made with confidence. That’s why we’re inviting you to our Open Day on Saturday, 15th March, from 10am - 3pm. No pressure, no hard sell - just a friendly chance to see what life at Longridge is really like.
More Space, More Freedom
One of the first things visitors notice about Longridge is the space. Unlike many other retirement villages, which can feel compact, Longridge is set on 90 acres of peaceful countryside, with breathtaking views of the Coromandel Ranges. Instead of high-density housing, we offer spacious, thoughtfully designed villas that give you privacy while keeping you connected to a warm, welcoming community.
Retirement is meant to be stress-free and enjoyable, and that’s exactly what Longridge is designed to offer. No more worrying about maintenance, endless housework, or unexpected costs - just more time for the things you love.
What’s Happening on Open Day
If you’re considering retirement living, this is your chance to explore in a relaxed, no-obligation setting. Here’s what you can do on the day:
✅ Take a guided tour of our architecturally designed villas
✅ Meet some of our residents and hear their experiences
✅ Explore our orchards and gardens
✅ Ask all your questions about pricing, lifestyle, amenities and future availability
✅ Enjoy light refreshments while soaking in the atmosphere
We know retirement living isn’t a “one-size-fits-all” decision, so we offer a range of homes to suit different needs and budgets. Our two-bedroom villas start at just $699,000, and our larger three-bedroom homes offer even more space and luxury. See our available villas here.
What’s New? The Pohutukawa Villas
One of the highlights of this Open Day is the chance to view our newest and most spacious homes - the Pohutukawa Villas. These stunning stand-alone three-bedroom, 180m² villas have been designed with modern comfort in mind.
They feature:
✔ A designer kitchen with a walk-in pantry
✔ Luxurious tiled bathrooms with walk-in showers
✔ A master suite with an ensuite and walk-in wardrobe
✔ Central ducted heating & cooling
✔ Plenty of indoor and outdoor space for entertaining
With only two left, this could be your last opportunity to view them before they’re gone!
Why Do So Many Residents Say They Wish They Had Moved Sooner?
One of the most common things we hear from visitors is:
"We love it, but we’re just not ready yet."
It’s understandable, moving into a retirement village is a big step. There’s a lot to think about, and it’s easy to put off the decision for “one day.”
But here’s the interesting part - once people do move to Longridge, we often hear something completely different:
"I wish I had moved in sooner!"
So, what changes? For many, it’s the realisation that life becomes easier, more enjoyable, and less stressful once they make the move. No more endless maintenance, no more worrying about future-proofing the house, and no more uncertainty about safety or security.
Being “ready” isn’t about waiting for a perfect moment, it’s about choosing more time for yourself instead of spending it on housework, upkeep, or putting off the things you’ve always wanted to do.
If you’ve been thinking about retirement living but aren’t sure if it’s the right time, our Open Day on Saturday, 15th March is the perfect opportunity to explore, ask questions, and see what life at Longridge is all about, without any pressure.
