Nestled in the picturesque Marlborough region surrounded by renowned vineyards and stunning mountain views, Summerset Blenheim offers a blend of convenient modern living and relaxed lifestyle. The village centre and Divine Café are now open, with the community thriving as the village develops. Residents enjoy easy access to local amenities, a calendar of organised activities, and the security of knowing care services will be available on-site as the village completes. One resident captured it perfectly: moving in while she could, not when she had to, was the best decision—she feels secure, supported, and still independent.
Once complete, the village will offer a full range of modern, high-quality living options. Villas are available now—bright, spacious single-storey homes with contemporary kitchens, generous bedrooms, ensuites, and internal-access garages.

Village life is built around connection, activity, and wellbeing.
The village centre is now open, anchored by Divine Café—a welcoming spot for residents and locals alike, serving good food and great coffee Monday to Sunday, 10am–2pm. An on-site Activities Coordinator ensures a calendar of events catering to a wide range of interests. Residents enjoy organised outings, social dinners, and a vibrant mix of recreational pursuits.
