The Moorings Retirement Village: A Resounding Success
It's been just three months since The Moorings Retirement Village officially opened its doors, and the response has been phenomenal. With nearly 90% of the villas already under contract in the first stage of development, The Moorings is quickly becoming a sought-after destination for retirees. This remarkable success story reflects the community's appeal and the exceptional quality of living it offers when complete. The first wave of residents are expected to move in next month and are ecstatic about coming home to settle into their new coastal lifestyle at Moorings.
Sales Manager Margo Lombardi reports, "It is an absolute pleasure being involved with the selling of The Moorings, being purpose built and age inclusive for the well-being of the 60 years-young-and-over in mind. No detail goes unnoticed. You will have the complete freedom and independence to live your best life on your new adventure. You don’t have to give up the things you love, including your pets, you have the added luxury of your home and grounds being kept in pristine and well-kept condition whilst you enjoy your travel, socialising, relaxing or simply ‘at work’ .
I look forward to being able to assist you in your journey to experience the incredible life which awaits you at our Hopper Living latest offering, The Moorings."
Meet The Neighbours
Our incoming residents at The Moorings got together for the first time last week, there was lots of excitement as residents met their new neighbours with lots of new connections made and old connections refreshed. While the group includes some locals to Whitianga, others are making the move permanently, having fallen in love with the village, waterways, and community either across years of visiting or recently discovering our beautiful environment.
After a delicious lunch in the tranquil surroundings of The Lost Spring, the group took advantage of a Q&A session with Ruth Scandrett - GM of Hopper Living . There were questions about security, building progress, how the emergency alarm works and the biggie how they can connect to Sky TV (we already have a Sky dish in place and they will simply need to plug their sky box in and tune their TV).
Residents are looking forward to the next opportunity to "meet the neighbours" and hopefully by then some of them will be calling The Moorings home.
Sales Update - 50% of Stage 1 Under Contract
Since the official opening on February 23, 2024, The Moorings has been a beacon for those seeking an exceptional retirement lifestyle. With half of the first stage of 18 villas already spoken for, our community is quickly growing with residents eager to start this new chapter of their lives.
Looking ahead, our 8-10 year planned build program will see the development of up to 220 units, each designed with comfort and lifestyle in mind. The Moorings Sales Manager, Margo Lombardi, is thrilled to showcase what life at The Moorings can offer. From the exquisitely designed villas to the vibrant Whitianga community with its boutique shops, gourmet dining, and entertainment, every day is an opportunity for a new adventure.
“We invite you and your family to explore our beautiful location and the opportunity to make The Moorings your new home. Our show home is open for you to experience the magic first-hand, Monday to Friday from 10 am to 2 pm, or by private appointment.” To discover more, please contact Margo Lombardi at 021 972 591.
The Moorings Village Official Opening
On February 23, 2024, the Moorings Village proudly opened its doors, marking a significant milestone in our journey. Brenda and Judy, the trailblazing duo who were the first to join us, had the honour of cutting the ribbon, officially opening then Village to the public. The event was exceptionally well received by all who attended, with all visitors welcomed inside to take their ‘first look’ at the sales villa.
“About 5 years ago I stood on this site for the first time, and I was blown away by what I saw here and the vision that we had for what could be done on this site. It's a bit of a moment in time when you open a new village because there's an awful lot of work that goes in beforehand, you sort of pause, celebrate the moment and then you move on, and there's an awful lot of work still to do. I'm excited about The Moorings and how it fits in the Whitianga Waterways development here and the wider Whitianga community. But also it sits within the Hopper Living team and our four villages. Within our villages, we work hard to create a fantastic environment for our residents. I just want to say thank you to everyone who has contributed to where we are now. ”
- Ruth Scandrett, Hopper Living General Manager
