Retirement can be the beginning of something new. At Acacia Cove Village in Wattle Downs, residents enjoy the freedom to spend more time doing the things they love, surrounded by friends, activities, facilities and a genuine sense of community
“We Thought This One Was By Far the Best”
For resident Phil, choosing Acacia Cove came after carefully looking at the retirement living options available across South Auckland.
“The reason that we ended up at Acacia Cove, my partner and I, we decided a while ago that it was time for us to go to a retirement village.
“We looked at all the retirement villages in South Auckland because we decided we wanted to stay in this area and we looked at all of them and we thought this one was by far the best.
“Once we came here we were absolutely sure that it is the best. We think it's absolutely wonderful. I've ended up with a tremendous number of very close friends here.”
For Phil, retirement village living has become about much more than simply finding a new home. It has meant becoming part of a community and developing friendships that have become an important part of everyday life.

Who Said Getting Older Means You Can’t Have Even More Fun?
At Acacia Cove, the idea is refreshingly simple: when many of the everyday responsibilities of maintaining a home are taken care of, you have more time to enjoy life.
Join in with village activities, make use of the facilities, spend time with friends or simply relax and enjoy your own space.
It’s retirement living designed around choice, independence, friendship and enjoying the years ahead.
A Village With Deep Local Roots
Acacia Cove is more than a retirement development. The land itself has been connected with the family behind the village for generations.
Amanda Vettoretti, Director of Acacia Cove Village, says that history remains an important part of what the village represents today.
“This area has been important to my family for ages. My grandfather bought the farm here in 1933 and both he and my father and my brothers farmed here, so it's got a lot of history and a lot of family memories.
“The village green has the house plaque on the site where the house that my grandfather built, where Dad lived with his sisters and where I lived with my brothers and sisters.
“So we have a great attachment and long history here.”
That connection with Wattle Downs and the surrounding South Auckland community continues to influence the character of Acacia Cove today.
Family Owned. Community Connected.
For General Manager Bruce Cullington, family ownership is one of the things that makes Acacia Cove distinctive.
“I think the fact that Acacia Cove is family owned has made a huge difference to the village.
“The family themselves regularly visit the village. They know lots of people that live here anyway because they grew up in the same area.
“They have tremendous values in terms of connectivity with the local community, so it makes a huge difference.”
It’s an involvement that helps Acacia Cove retain something increasingly valuable — a genuine connection between the village, the people who live there and the wider community around it.

Yes, It’s a Retirement Village — But It’s More Like a Resort

For them, Acacia Cove stood out.
And after moving in, Phil says the experience confirmed their decision.
