Papakura Oaks

At Papakura Oaks, you are free to live life at your own pace. No more lawn mowing or gutter clearing here. You’ll be free to enjoy the things you love most. Join a game of Pétanque or help care for our much-loved chickens. There’s plenty of activity in the village itself, but we are also strongly connected to activities and groups in our local Papakura community.

Set in beautifully landscaped grounds, our 16 independent living villas are warm and generously proportioned, each with its own garage, laundry and garden area. Papakura Oaks is also home to a beloved chapel with strong connections to the village and received a  generous donation from the Elmwood Village Residents Chapel Fund in 2019.

The recently-opened Lees Centre has apartments on the upper storeys and an extensive range of first-class leisure facilities on the ground floor. Here you’ll find a lounge and multipurpose room as well as a cafe, bar and outdoor barbeque area. There’s a craft and activities room as well as a professional kitchen, consulting room, mini-mart and hair salon.

Whether you’re in search of quiet privacy or social interaction, you’ll be supported by our warm and welcoming staff.

At Metlifecare, we’re changing expectations of retired life. Our focus is on enabling every resident to live an extraordinary life, without compromise.
