Aged-care firm to spend $130m building Kerikeri's biggest retirement village
The village, which will be built on what is now an 18ha orchard at the end of Hall Rd, on the fringe of central Kerikeri, will have up to 340 residents in about 200 villas and serviced apartments, and 60-80 care beds. More than 60 jobs will be created. The new Kerikeri retirement village could look similar to this artist's impression of a facility in Nelson being built by the same company (pictured below).
Auckland-based Arvida Group went public with its plans as soon as the land sale went through on Friday. The news came on the same day the country's biggest Mitre 10 store opened at nearby Waipapa, at a cost of $13m, and within weeks of a series of major investment announcements around Northland. They include a $200m hotel in Whangarei and Seeka's $18m boost for the Kerikeri kiwifruit industry.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
