At Roseland Park, chilly winter evenings are the perfect excuse to cosy up for a movie night. Residents enjoyed the latest films together with a sweet treat — an ice cream piled high with their favourite toppings!

‘The Red Team’ visited Karaka Lifestyle Estate on Tuesday morning with an informal yet informative presentation. Residents appreciated the information shared and had plenty of questions, which the team answered thoroughly. Afterwards, everyone enjoyed a morning tea and the chance to mix and mingle. The highlight of the visit was the big red fire truck, which they drove right into the Clubhouse Courtyard!

Wayne, a resident of Regency Park, was a computing tutor at the local polytechnic for 23 years before running his own computing business. Recently, he has reached out to fellow residents at Regency Park with important information about Microsoft ending support for Windows 10 this October. While computers will continue to function, they could become vulnerable to security risks, such as viruses.

Wayne has invested many hours securing the best local deal for residents needing to update their computers. He has also met one-on-one with residents to understand their needs and assist with setting up their new systems, all in exchange for koha to the village social club.

It is wonderful to have people like Wayne, who so generously give their time to support others and enrich our communities.

On a cold morning like today, it’s hard to imagine jumping in the water for a swim – but that’s exactly what Karaka Lifestyle Estate residents did on the 25th of June to raise funds for South Auckland Riding for the Disabled.

Well done to everyone involved.

Preparations are underway at Karaka Lifestyle Village for their ANZAC Day memorial service this Friday.

A group of residents spent yesterday afternoon decorating the Clubhouse, inside and out, with handmade poppies. Each one has been thoughtfully crafted using paper cutouts or knitting.

A heartfelt effort from our community to honour those who served.

Woodcroft Estate’s summer bowling competition wrapped up with two exciting finals. In the doubles final, Jim and Dean took home the win, while Jim also claimed victory in the singles final with a strong performance all round.

The competition ran throughout the summer months and was a fantastic way to bring the village together for some friendly fun. Both finals drew a great crowd of supporters, creating a lively atmosphere out on the green.

The "little helpers" at Waihi Beach have been busy this season!

Retirement here means living it up with mates who know how to have fun!

Easter Sunday at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach was one for the books! Robyn didn't have bunny ears like the rest of the crew, so she brought a carrot to feed the other hungry bunnies. A simple act that turned into the highlight of our day.

At our recent happy hour at Waihi Beach Village, residents showcased Kiwi ingenuity with a lively games afternoon. Alongside limbo, an innovative twist on curling took centre stage - using large ice blocks and a plastic sheet slicked with soap for the target. This inventive approach brought smiles and laughter, perfectly embodying the creative and communal spirit of Karaka Pines Waihi Beach.

Phil and Sue Tutty, newcomers to Karaka Pines Waihi Beach, have generously donated over 30 books to our library, significantly enriching our collection. In need of expertise to organise these new additions, Robyn Young (pictured sorting), with 15 years of experience as a librarian in Waihi Beach, stepped forward. Robyn, who aspired to be a librarian since the age of seven, has meticulously arranged and labelled every book, ensuring easy access for all.

Monica Lunny, a frequent visitor, enjoys delving into history and tales of places she's explored, such as Paris and Venice. Her passion for reading reflects the diverse interests of our community. Our heartfelt thanks go to Phil and Sue for their thoughtful donation, to Robyn for her invaluable skills, and to Monica for her avid readership, all of which enhance the vibrant life at Karaka Pines Waihi Beach.
