Meet Northbrook Arrowtown — a luxury later life development sitting alongside Ayrburn, inspiring residents to live the lives they love, in the place they love the most.
There’s much to be said about the trend towards elevated later life living. Accommodation that, instead of focusing on the final chapter, celebrates the beginning of an exciting new one — filled with freedom and a self-determined lifestyle. And there is perhaps no one creating later living residences better than Winton.
Chris Meehan’s innovative, design-driven property development company is making incredible strides in changing the face of retirement, creating exceptional later life residences that emphasise enjoyment, inspiring residents to continue to live the lives they love, in the places they love most, while ensuring the support they may require is there waiting for them, if and when they need it.
Where, historically, aged-care has been associated with slow, sedentary, and quiet lives lived in quarters that reflect the same ethos, Northbrook is centred on the opposite: full lives, well lived, in stunning, design-led spaces. And nowhere is this more evident than in the new Northbrook Arrowtown — an environment of unparalleled beauty and charm, perfect for living a busy and engaged, yet deeply peaceful life.
“Ayrburn — Winton’s lauded hospitality precinct, sits on the very same parcel of land,
a gentle walk through manicured gardens
from your Northbrook home.”
A premium development that offers sleek, sophisticated residences to those who appreciate good design and want to enjoy the best years of their lives in the lap of luxury, where every whim is catered to, and at the level one might expect from a five-star hotel, Northbrook Arrowtown is redefining not just later living, but what’s possible within a community-centric masterplanned development.
Here, residents won’t just find architecturally-designed residences of the highest quality, sweeping outdoor spaces, expert care for when it’s needed, and endless amenities, but will also have access to the world-class hospitality and entertainment on offer at Ayrburn — Winton’s lauded hospitality precinct that sits on the very same parcel of land, a gentle walk through manicured gardens from your Northbrook home.
In fact, at Northbrook Arrowtown, Ayrburn becomes part of the rhythm of daily life. From supply runs at R.M Prime Produce, which boasts deli delights, an in-house butcher, fine wines, fresh-cut flowers, and all of the essentials (including pre-made meals to go), to enjoying morning coffee and freshly-baked pastries from The Bakehouse while taking a refreshing stroll through the precinct’s sprawling grounds, to lunch, dinner, drinks and beyond at the many exceptional bars and eateries — each catering to a different occasion or mood, the options truly are endless. And, beyond the impressive food and drink scene, Ayrburn plays host to a jam-packed rota of vibrant events and activities, from immersive garden and art tours to laid-back weekly jazz nights, live opera on The Dell, and the likes of the Ayrburn Classic — one of the Southern Hemisphere’s most prestigious motoring events.
Come mid-year, the grounds transform into a whimsical winter wonderland, channelling the conviviality of European metropolises, while during the summer months, the precinct hums with life as live music, open-air films, market days and more fill the calendar.
And, venturing slightly further afield, keen golfers will find three of New Zealand’s top 15 courses in the surrounding area, while skiers will be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a field (Northbook Arrowtown is, after all, set between the dramatic backdrops of The Remarkables and Coronet Peak, with Cardrona just a short drive over the Crown Range), and those partial to cycling or hiking will find themselves surrounded by an expansive local network of trails.
“Northbrook Arrowtown is an environment of unparalleled beauty and charm, perfect for living a busy and engaged, yet deeply peaceful life.”
The quaint, picturesque township of Arrowtown is five minutes away by car, and offers luxury retail, galleries, markets, a cinema, and stores for anything and everything you may desire, while Queenstown itself is just over 20 minutes away in the opposite direction, and is the perfect location for entertaining family and friends.
Located a short 15 minutes from Queenstown’s international airport, from Northbrook Arrowtown, overseas travel is accessible and stress-free, and with everything you need right on your doorstep at Ayrburn, returning home comes without the usual rush to the shops to restock the pantry and reset the home. The security of the development also means you can travel free of worry, knowing your home is being well taken care of.
And, within the homes themselves, the top tier design Winton has become famed for shines through in every detail, from the finishes and textiles within the residences to the styling of the communal zones — all of which is centred on a luxurious palette of warm neutrality, with an emphasis on comfort and low-maintenance durability.
Winton’s CEO, Chris Meehan, believes the location and amenities at Northbrook Arrowtown are unmatched, offering its future residents five-star hotel-like living in one of New Zealand’s most desirable locations, “Northbrook Arrowtown is surrounded by natural beauty and will be one of our most spectacular later living projects,” says Meehan, “Sited on land that has become known as Waterfall Park — a unique location within the Wakatipu Basin where Mill Creek spills into the site as a waterfall — the development naturally extends down to the historic Ayrburn Farm, now known as Ayrburn.” He continues, “Residents will enjoy immediate access to Ayrburn and its hospitality offerings, connection with the surrounding walkways, cycleways and world-class golf courses, as well as the proximity to both Arrowtown, Queenstown and its international airport.”
Designed to cater to later life residents who are seeking to live full, vibrant lives, Northbrook Arrowtown offers an unparalleled lifestyle.
Beyond the luxurious residences themselves, which have been meticulously designed for comfort, convenience, and ease of living, the location ensures everything you could possibly need is just beyond your home’s threshold. Meaning all you have to do is sit back, relax, and embrace your next chapter.
