Retirement is an exciting chapter, and choosing the right place to call home is key to enjoying it to the fullest. For many semi-retirees, gated communities offer the perfect blend of safety, community, and lifestyle. Kotare Estate in South Taranaki has been designed with these priorities in mind.

Here are five reasons why semi-retirees are increasingly choosing gated communities like Kotare Estate.
1. Security and Peace of Mind Safety is a top concern, and gated communities provide an unmatched sense of security. With controlled access and a focus on maintaining a secure environment, Kotare Estate ensures you can relax and enjoy your home without worry. Whether you're at home or off on an adventure in your motorhome, your property will always feel safe.
2. A Vibrant, Supportive Community
Retirement is about enjoying life, and that includes building connections with others. Gated communities are designed to bring people together. At Kotare Estate, our walking trails, green spaces, and shared areas are perfect for fostering friendships with like-minded neighbors while still offering privacy when you need it.
3. Ownership That Gives You Control
Unlike traditional retirement options, Kotare Estate offers freehold titles. This means you own your property outright, providing financial security and the freedom to make decisions about your home. It’s an investment that benefits you today and leaves a legacy for your family tomorrow.
4. Convenient and Accessible Location
Kotare Estate offers the best of both worlds—peaceful rural living with urban convenience. Located just minutes from Hawera’s bustling CBD, you’ll enjoy easy access to cafes, shops, healthcare facilities, and everything else you need for a comfortable lifestyle.
