Amberley Country Estate's luxury retirement villas in Canterbury
Amberley Country Estate’s architect-designed, high-quality, low-maintenance retirement villas are secure and future-proof, with pre-wiring for electric vehicles.
Our 3-bedroom villas feature two bathrooms and spacious 161m2 or 185m2 floor plans, while 2-bedroom villas range from 94m2 to 134m2, including options with a study nook or double garage.
All retirement homes are generously proportioned, offering extra space for hosting family and friends. For added peace of mind, we include more "Call" buttons than most other retirement villas.
Carefully considered site design ensures most homes have a north-facing aspect to capture maximum sunlight. We also use high-grade insulated foundations (MaxRaft) and superior wall and ceiling insulation, combined with ducted heat pumps, to improve comfort, reduce energy use, and support sustainability.
Inviting patio areas are ideal for barbecues and outdoor entertaining. If gardening is your thing, you’ll delight in establishing your own and, if it isn’t, we can do that for you.
You'll even have your own street address, making your home more exclusive and easier for visitors to find.

The layout of Amberley Country Estate is different from other retirement villages in New Zealand.
Rather than rows of identical homes, the village features a diverse range of retirement villas, with streets designed in distinct patterns for a more personalised feel. Shared right-of-ways create a quiet, cul-de-sac atmosphere, while some homes have private driveways and larger yards, ideal for those who come from rural backgrounds.
Each home and yard has its own character, with beautifully landscaped streets, colourful plantings, meandering paths, and pocket parks adding to the charm. This thoughtful design creates a village with individuality, character, and a more upscale feel.
