REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Contact us to book your service at info@mvservices.nz or call 0800 278 732 Proudly locally owned & operated. Apartments at Golden View Lifestyle Village are increasingly getting snapped up as the Central Otago market becomes acquainted with the new offering for the region, say two of the owners of the village Trish and Neil Bulling. Comprising a total of 19 apartments with six downstairs and thirteen upstairs, each feature spacious balconies that offer breath-taking views of the stunning Central Otago landscape. The one-bedroom apartments, spanning around 45 square metres, include a lounge, kitchenette, separate bedroom with ensuite, and sliding doors opening onto the balcony. Additionally, four double apartments cater to couples, providing approximately 50 square metres of space. The neutral modern décor allows residents to infuse their own personalities into their living spaces, say Trish and Neil. Importantly residents can be as independent as they desire while knowing that a compassionate, skilled team is ready to assist when needed. The apartments offer essential services, such as meals delivered and laundry and housekeeping assistance, ensuring residents enjoy both autonomy and support. Located in Cromwell, Golden View Lifestyle Village blends independence, camaraderie and exceptional care for those seeking a retirement haven. The story of Golden View began when Neil’s uncle and auntie expressed a desire to transition to a retirement village. With Neil a real estate agent and nothing suitable in the local area, the wheels were set in motion to create a unique and vibrant space that caters not only to retirees’ lifestyle desires but also provides comprehensive care options. Investors for the project were sought and in 2016 the first villa was sold. In a prime location, just 300 metres away from supermarkets and shops, Golden View Lifestyle Village offers an unparalleled blend of convenience and tranquillity, say the Bullings. The allure of this village is not just its picturesque surroundings, but also its community-centric approach. With a range of amenities and activities to enjoy, the residents truly become part of a caring and supportive network. The heart of Golden View Lifestyle Village, the Golden View Lodge, is a central hub where residents can find an indoor heated swimming pool, spa pool, library, hobby and craft room, lounge and bar, dining room, workshop, hairdressing salon, cinema/meeting room/chapel, gymnasium and much more. Also available is a community garden, vegetable plots, caravan and motorhome parking. The village boasts an array of amenities aimed at enhancing residents’ physical, social, and emotional wellbeing. Tai chi, exercise classes, and even a happy hour every Friday night create a lively atmosphere. Walking and biking groups, bus trips, a beautician, and a physiotherapist cater to diverse interests. For those who revel in outdoor activities there are a bowling green, golf croquet, and petanque. Importantly the vision of care extends beyond the village itself. Golden View Care, adjacent to the village, accommodates those in need of residential care. With 60 beds, including 12 dedicated to dementia care, this facility underscores the founders’ original mission: to serve both the village and the broader community. The village is rounded out by 102 villas including single, two or three bedroom villas with single or double attached garaging as well as sunroom options. The villas are positioned to catch the sun, with landscaped gardens and lawns between each villa. Each villa is equipped with a comprehensive communication system, which includes a 24-hour medical emergency and monitoring system. All villas are presently occupied. “We have a waiting list of over 100 people for villas. That shows you how popular the village is. When one comes available, it’s snapped up,” says Neil. With a small selection of apartments still available – many of which purchasers are already expressing interest in – the Bullings urge those who might be interested in making Golden View their home to not delay. “With its central location, comprehensive amenities, and engaging activities, Golden View is a popular place,” says Trish. “Here people can truly enjoy their retirement within a supportive and vibrant community.”
