Eastcliffe sits in Orakei, moments from Mission Bay's beaches and Auckland's CBD, offering residents the freedom to shape their own days. Whether you're popping into the city for lunch, walking the bays with your dog, or settling into the village's vibrant community spaces, the choice is entirely yours. The village combines independent living with on-site aged care and rest home support, so you can stay in one place as your needs evolve. With a pool, spa, gym, salon, and a full calendar of activities—from yoga to city outings—there's always something to do, or the perfect quiet corner to simply be.
Choose from one- and two-bedroom apartments across two locations, each with its own character and outlook. Aotea Street offers garden apartments with outstanding views on a quiet cul-de-sac; Kupe Street places you steps from the community centre.
Eastcliffe's community spaces and activities are designed for residents who want to stay active and connected—or simply relax.
The village offers a full range of leisure and wellness facilities, from a heated indoor pool and spa to a fully equipped gym with classes including yoga, aqua aerobics, and Zumba. Dining options include a café and bar with happy hours. Social activities span bingo, quiz nights, movies, music recitals, and regular van trips to the shops and around the city. On-site services include a hairdresser, beautician, and podiatrist.
