Roundhay is a small, carefully designed retirement village of just 22 semi-detached homes nestled among leafy borders and formal gardens in Nelson South. Each villa opens onto enclosed central gardens and an Orangery pavilion, creating a sense of seclusion and intimacy despite being only minutes from Nelson's vibrant centre. Residents enjoy independent living with nursing and support services on hand, plus easy access to the Hospital and all the Nelson Region has to offer—from beaches and vineyards to art, theatre, and outdoor adventures.
Garden living in town. Each of the 22 villa homes is designed with freedom and independence in mind.
Life at Roundhay centres on the enclosed central gardens and Orangery—the village's communal heart.
Residents gather for resident dinners, Friday night drinks, and relaxation in the communal lounge. The village is designed to foster intimacy and connection while maintaining independence.
