Greytown Orchards Lifestyle Retirement - Greytown Orchards Lifestyle Retirement 67 Reading Street

Location, Location, Location

Greytown Orchards’ prime location offers you the best of both worlds. Living independently and being central to a small country village, within a beautiful province yet handy to city life, provides you with the freedom to choose how you want to spend your leisure time in your retirement.

You can switch as and when you please, between the calm setting of Greytown Orchards itself, the active community of historic Greytown, on your doorstep and the wider, Wairarapa beyond.

Wonderful Wairarapa

Wairarapa is often described as the land of lifestyle opportunity. Its breathtaking backdrop of big skies, expansive plains, high mountains and forest tracks offers the perfect blend of space and relaxation and activity and adventure.

Its distinctive towns and villages run through rich farmland, across open pasture and sweep around acres of vineyards. The historic settlements follow a network of deep rivers and meandering creeks, stretching out to some of the most spectacular coastlines in New Zealand. 

Hot summer months and crisp winters add to the Wairarapa’s climatic ambience, while innovation, energy and a sense of life-balance underpin the community spirit. 

However you choose to live your retirement, Greytown Orchards has been carefully planned to ensure that your lifestyle is underpinned by comfort, convenience, elegance and ease of living.

Perfectly positioned for everything you need

Greytown Orchards is set right in the heart of Greytown, which means that everything you need is close at hand. 

Greytown’s thriving Main Street offers a range of boutique retail outlets, antique stores, barista cafes and restaurants and a well-stocked library. Greytown also has a supermarket, hair and beauty salons, legal and accounting firms, a dentist and a pharmacy, as well as a new state-of-the-art medical centre. There are a variety of sports and leisure clubs and a good mix of community events and activities that run year-round. 

Greytown Soldiers Memorial Park lies beyond the tranquil hub of the village centre. Beautifully kept, the 20-acre park is home to the town’s outdoor swimming pool, the cricket pavilion, soccer grounds and tennis club. Across town, a picturesque bike and walking trail follows the old railway line that once linked Greytown to Woodside station. 

Closely connected

You will find all the lifestyle benefits that the historic country village has to offer, while still being close to the city amenities of Wellington and the other close-by Wairarapa towns.

Featherston, the first town after the Remutaka Hill, lies just south of Greytown and the serene wine country of Martinborough is an easy scenic drive to the east. Martinborough is a popular destination for winery tours, golfing, long lunches amongst the vines and gentle bike rides along flat pathways. 

A short drive along the Wairarapa corridor to the north opens up the larger towns and facilities of Carterton and Masterton.
