Handy to the city, but a world away from urban hustle and bustle, Peninsula Club is one of the best-equipped communities for over-65s in the northern Auckland region. Located at the Orewa end of Whangaparāoa Peninsula, it’s a self-contained paradise that considers every aspect of life.

The entertainment possibilities at Peninsula Club are many. You can enjoy barista coffee at the café, fitness classes at the gym, drinks in the bar, a boogie around the dance floor and movies at the on-site cinema. The community also has a swimming pool, spa pool, pétanque court, golf putting area and bowling green. There’s even a residents’ workshop for tinkering and building. For swimming in the warmer months, Stanmore Bay is just a 15-minute walk from Peninsula Club. What’s more, the Whangaparāoa area has golf courses, tennis clubs and Shakespear Regional Park for hiking adventures.

The location is convenient for shopping and services. There’s a New World supermarket and the Coast Plaza shopping mall just up the road. Only seven minutes’ drive away is Silverdale, where there’s another shopping mall, lots of outlet shops and two more supermarkets. There are medical clinics and a surgical centre close by, as well as several physiotherapists.
