A village within a village

A handful of private villas in the gardens of a historic homestead, with Devonport on the doorstep and the sea in view.

Devonport Retirement Village sits on King Edward Parade, on Auckland's North Shore, close to Devonport's waterfront, local cafes, shops and community amenities.

Residents live independently, in their own homes with their own front doors. No two villas are quite the same — this is a village that grew in a garden rather than off a plan. Judy can tell you exactly what the currently available villa includes.

Alison House — the heart of the village

The original Alison Homestead is our community centre — the place where the village gathers. Friday happy hour on the deck, movie nights and residents' dinners — and pets are always welcome. Nothing is compulsory, and everything is close.

Happy hour on the deck

Friday evenings on the Alison House verandah — a drink, a chat, and never any obligation to come along.

Movie nights

Movie nights and residents' dinners held at the Alison House.

Pets are welcome

Pets are part of life here. Yours is welcome to come too, subject to management approval — just talk to Judy first.

Your garden, your way

Every villa has its own private garden that residents plant and keep however they like — some have grown beautiful flower gardens, others productive vege patches. The village looks after the lawns, grounds and building exteriors, so the gardening you do is the gardening you enjoy.

Independence first. Support when it's needed.

There is no rest home or hospital here, and that is deliberate. These are independent homes, and people live in them as they always have. Should extra help ever be wanted, residents are free to arrange it themselves, with providers of their own choosing. Decisions about care stay where they belong — with you, your family and your doctor.
