Retirement

The region is still a relatively affordable place to retire to and offers a wide variety of community groups, activities, clubs and societies to get involved with.

Good health and support services enable residents to maintain their standard of living and independence in their own homes.

Central Otago boasts a relaxed pace of life away from the hustle and bustle of city living. There is no rush hour or traffic jams.  Our communities are small and friendly and you soon get to know your neighbours and become a familiar face in the community.
