Set in a stunning 45-acre garden, this architecturally designed haven offers various activities, including wine tastings and bush walks. Welcome to Quail Ridge Country Club - the forefront of luxury retirement living! Wine tastings, bush walks, social activities, lakeside lounging and life in a high-end, architecturally designed home set in a 45 acre garden environment – does this sound like retirement to you? If not then it should, because it’s just some of what’s on offer here at Quail Ridge Country Club. Quail Ridge Country Club is the Bay of Islands luxury retirement village, designed for those who expect retirement to be the best years of their lives. It provides serene rural living just five minutes drive from a vibrant town centre that boasts 20-plus cafes and restaurants, three weekend markets, a golf course, a bowling club, a modern picture theatre and a cultural/events centre. If you’re in the mood to stay close to home there is bound to be something going on in the village, and the celebrated Rainbow Falls and river track are right next door. A little further afield there are award-winning vineyards to visit, and the tourist town and beaches of Paihia and Russell are a 20 minute drive away. At one end of the bay you’ll find the cultural treaty grounds of Waitangi, at the other the historic township of Russell, and the yachting mecca of Opua just over the hill. Boredom is simply not an option in the Bay of Islands. The facilities at Quail Ridge Country Club offer a new standard in retirement living with the choice of spacious villas and townhouses all providing exceptional features for residents. The floor plans are designed to capture the best views of the sub-tropical gardens, while maintaining privacy and security. Homes Available
Quail Ridge Country Club offers a range of architecturally designed spaces, ranging in size from 125 square metres to 270 square metres, all designed so you will never feel cramped or confined. A hallmark of the designs is the future-proofing in the form of over-size halls at 1.2 metres wide and level entry access giving safe, convenient access. All our homes are built north facing to make the most of the all-day sun and the 2.7m ceiling height gives the feeling of luxury and space. The professionally designed, lacquered kitchen comes with composite stone benchtops and appliances, and flows into an open plan living space. All the bedrooms are spacious, and the masters have en-suites and walk-in wardrobes. Even the garages are over-sized with space for both cars and storage. Outside there are generous outdoor living areas with garden views. Our Facilities
In addition to stand-alone villas, a state-of-the-art care and rehabilitation facility to provide aged, hospital and palliative care is planned for the future. This three-level building will keep pace with residents needs for future care requirements, and also service the needs of the wider community. A new community hub will be provided by the new club house, whose classic contemporary design will reflect the heritage of Kerikeri. The plans include a reception area, fireside lounge, restaurant, club bar, mini-theatre, library, billiard room and outdoor living and entertaining areas. A walkway will link the Club House to the Pool House with its heated indoor swimming pool, gymnasium, spa pool and day spa. The brand new four lane bowling green was opened in April 2019 by John Carter QSO, Far North Mayor. Club Days and tournaments are already underway and there’ll be many a tale told under the shade of the pavilion. The original homestead on the property, known as Quail Lodge, is currently providing an interim location for social and recreational activities including a lounge, kitchen, diner, games room, gym, library and billiard room. Outside there’s a barbecue area and a petanque court. There’s always something going on here – from bridge to ukulele lessons. We look forward to meeting you and showing you around our slice of paradise.
