This means we have to turn off the supply between 3:30pm and 7:30pm on Wednesday 20th May (tomorrow), affecting one commercial property in Beattie close, Kenepuru, with no impact on residential properties in the area. The water will be back on as soon as possible, but we recommend that those in the commercial property affected fill up some containers with water before 3:30pm and avoid running the dishwasher, washing machine etc. We apologise for any inconvenience this has caused.

We are not back to normal yet but isn't it great to be able to get out and around again! This time will be forever etched in our memories, some good some bad.

This time will be forever etched in our memories, some good some bad.

Immerse yourself in our beautiful villages by taking a ‘walk through’ with our virtual tours. Stroll through the lovely gardens, explore the village amenities, and step into a beautiful independent apartment, serviced apartment or care room. You can navigate your way through each featured room or area of the village and really get a feel for the space. It’s a great way to obtain a more intricate view before you make a visit to the village.
