Nestled amidst the picturesque landscape of Glendowie, Auckland, lies St Andrew’s Village – a haven designed to enrich and empower your retirement journey.
Our story began in 1956 with a visionary act of generosity. Sir George Elliott’s bequest laid the foundation for a village dedicated to supporting the well-being of older adults in the Eastern Bays community.
Food is love at St Andrew’s Village

A Legacy of Evolution and Care
From the outset, St Andrew’s Village has championed resident comfort and progressive care. Gone are the days of institutional settings. In the early years, we offered a welcome departure with rental cottages and a care facility. Recognising the changing needs of our residents, we embarked on a complete care centre rebuild in the late 1990s. This commitment to modernization and resident well-being has remained a cornerstone of our village ever since.
