The Heart of the Holiday: Our Christmas Market

Few things capture the magic of the season quite like a festive Christmas market, and our villages are alive with holiday cheer as traditional markets fill the lounges. At Remuera Gardens, residents were enchanted by a wonderful array of treats, including homemade chocolates, Christmas puddings, and homemade jams and pickles that filled the room with the promise of festive joy.

Residents also enjoyed the chance to shop for their loved ones, choosing from a charming selection of toys for grandchildren, stylish clothing, elegant handbags, and stunning pieces of jewelry to treat themselves or share as special gifts.

Christmas is a cherished time in our villages, bringing families and friends together through festive markets, lively Christmas quizzes, and, of course, our much-anticipated traditional Christmas functions.

Check out these delightful snapshots from the market!

The Avenues introduced two premium apartment buildings into a fully operational retirement village, requiring careful planning and collaboration every step of the way. Delivered through challenges including major infrastructure upgrades and post-COVID supply pressures, the project was completed while preserving the character and daily life of the community already in place.

Honouring those who served

Real Living Villages are closely connected to the communities around them, which is why ANZAC Day holds such special meaning for us. Our villages not only honour the day internally with residents, but we also take pride in participating alongside the wider community whenever possible. Today we had the privilege of standing alongside the Mount Wellington–Panmure RSA for their ANZAC Day commemorations.
