We are building an Abbeyfield House, to provide affordable, independent housing for seniors to live comfortably in the community they love.
Wanaka, Otago
In the heart of Wānaka, a growing community faces an urgent challenge: many of its beloved seniors are struggling to find affordable housing. As rental prices skyrocket and the available stock of long term rental properties shrinks, retirees are faced with tough choices including leaving the place they love or facing real financial hardship. But there’s hope.
A group of local residents has come together with a simple, powerful solution: an Abbeyfield House. This unique housing model offers independent living in a warm, supportive environment, designed specifically for seniors. Abbeyfield provides private studios, nutritious meals, and a vibrant community, all within a purpose-built house. With rent covering utilities and meals, seniors can live comfortably on their pension without the stress of financial strain.
Now, we need your help to make this vision a reality. By donating, you can help build a home where older adults can thrive—an affordable, safe haven that lets them stay in the community they love. Every donation brings us one step closer to providing stability, dignity, and a strong sense of belonging for Wānaka’s seniors.
