WELCOME TO

Summerset Boulcott

Just a short drive from Wellington, Summerset Boulcott in Lower Hutt gives you more time for what matters. Set beside the golf course, it offers a relaxed pace of life with everything close by when you need it.

Right on your doorstep There are many ways to approach retirement. Some people downsize, others stay where they are. But when people visit, one thing we often hear is, “I wish I’d done this sooner.” Here, you can enjoy more freedom in your day, with the reassurance that support is there if you ever need it.* Located in the heart of Lower Hutt, everything you need is within easy reach of the village - whether that’s a walk along the river, a quick trip to Queensgate, or simply enjoying the views from the village.

*Care is subject to availability and eligibility criteria.

It’s the everyday moments that stand out. A coffee overlooking the green. A swim before lunch. Catching up with friends, or heading away for a few days when it suits. There’s no pressure to fill your time. Just more freedom in how you spend it. Come in and take a look for yourself.

Spaces to enjoy Everything here is designed to make day-to-day life easy. Start the day with a swim or a coffee in the Divine Café. Stay for a chat, or head off and do your own thing. Later on, it might be a game of bowls, a movie in the cinema, or a quiet afternoon with a book in the library. There’s always something happening - join in when it suits you, or enjoy some quiet time at home. More ways to enjoy your day, your way.

MEET THE PERSON BEHIND

Boulcott’s warm welcome There’s something noticeably different about Summerset Boulcott the moment you arrive. Maybe it’s the gentle rhythm of people enjoying the café, neighbours stopping for a chat, or simply the sense that you’re welcome to take your time. It feels lived in - easy, relaxed, and quietly reassuring. That atmosphere reflects a simple philosophy: every resident should feel at home. Whether it’s the care and attention taken by village staff or the friendships formed between neighbours, people are at the heart of daily life.

they’re ready to move within months. The most important thing is that it feels like the right time for them.” It’s an approach grounded in personal experience. Shelley’s own understanding of retirement living began when she started exploring options for her mother. Like many families, there was hesitation. “My mum wasn’t interested in moving at first,” she recalls. “Our family thought it was important to explore her options though, we spent a lot of time visiting villages with her and understanding what she wanted. When she felt ready, she made the transition - and over time, she built friendships, embraced village life, and really thrived.” Today, that experience shapes how Shelley works with prospective residents.

I love hearing people’s stories,” she says. “Where they’ve come from, what they want next, that’s what guides the conversation.

Sales Manager Shelley Gilliver sees that every day. Her role is to help people explore what village life could look like and support them through what is often a significant life decision. “Everyone is at a different stage when they start looking,” Shelley says. “For some, it’s future planning. For others, *Care is subject to availability and eligibility criteria.

Visitors are encouraged to return more than once, to spend time in the village. Whether it’s over a coffee in the Divine Café or a walk through the village, it’s about getting a sense of the place. “This is a big decision,” Shelley says. “People should feel informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.”

For many, reassurance comes from knowing what the future may hold. With a continuum of care available, residents can stay within a familiar community if their needs change.* “It removes that ‘what if,’” Shelley says. “People can focus on enjoying life now, without worrying about what could happen in the future.”

It’s the people who make it special,” Shelley adds. “There’s a real sense of community here. For those considering what next, her advice is simple. “Come in for a cuppa, have a look around, chat to a few residents. You’ll quickly get a sense of whether it feels right for you.”

“It’s an easy life” With a wealth of health and wellness knowledge as a career physio, Julie Ball knew what signs to look for to protect and enjoy her future. “When I visited the village and looked at the apartment, I immediately felt that this could be my home. It felt comfortable, I liked the design of it, and I liked the location. As a physio, I often saw people getting older and developing various problems which was compromising their independence and ability to do things. Including shifting, because shifting isn’t an easy decision, it takes quite a lot of effort to do it,” stated Julie. Julie moved from Hawke’s Bay to live closer to family. After considering home ownership and retirement village options, she chose Summerset Boulcott as her new home to give her peace of mind for the future and make the most of retirement.

“I had an event where I became unwell and felt very vulnerable. It made me rethink where I was, what my life was going to be going forward, and I felt the need to shift closer to family,” said Julie. “I came down to Wellington as part of my recovery. I decided I’d rather be in a retirement village and found Summerset Boulcott. It’s new, with public transport access and it’s part of a community. As you get older, it’s important to keep socialising. Everyone makes you feel welcome. It ticked all the boxes for me.” Happily settled into a two-bedroom apartment close to the village centre, Julie hasn’t looked back. “The apartments are really well designed. I was able to bring everything that is precious with me, including artwork and furniture. There’s plenty of storage,

which worries people when they’re downsizing. The other thing people worry about is privacy. But I think you’re very private in an apartment, probably more private than you were with your neighbour, peering over the fence. You can be as private as you want, or you can mix with the residents. So, it’s the best of both worlds,” said Julie.

When you come into a village, it’s an easy life. You can get up in the morning and do whatever you want to do. You haven’t got to think about maintenance or gardens or other problems. It’s a weight off your shoulders. I don’t think people realise how easy life can be living in a retirement village.
