There’s independent living in attractive one, two and three-bedroom villas; semi-independent living in one and two-bedroom serviced apartments; rest home, hospital and specialised dementia care all in one place. A quiet position alongside beautiful Centennial Park in Gleniti ensures tranquility and birdsong, however Strathallan is also about getting more fun into your life. Our community centre, which is always humming with activity, includes a café, cinema, library, gym, indoor sports and hair salon. There’s also a swimming pool, spa, barbeque and golf croquet.
Everyday routines that embrace the best of South Canterbury life
Daily life at Strathallan includes many of the special moments that come with living in a village such as having a good conversation over tea and scones, enjoying the company of others or getting your hands thoroughly dirty in our community vegetable gardens.
To make it easy to stay in good health, we provide on-site access to a dietitian, ear health nurse, physiotherapist and podiatrist. Excursions in the community van help with shopping, tiki tours or day trips around Canterbury.
"People ask me what is Strathallan like and am I happy here. Well, it was the best thing I ever did. My property was too big to look after since my husband had gone into care.
I have everything I will ever need and we are looked after well. I go swimming every morning in the pool and then some of us go for a half-hour walk. Then it's time for a coffee in our lounge with other residents, who have become wonderful friends. It is good to have the company of others.
There is so much to do, like van outings for lunch somewhere, van to the supermarket twice a week and van to town twice a month. Entertainment is great, with a variety of people or groups coming to entertain. Happy Hour on a Friday night is a highlight, as it brings us all together to celebrate birthdays or other milestones in our lives, and then we enjoy a fish and chip tea.
The staff here are amazing, so if you are thinking of downsizing and wanting to share a great community atmosphere, I would honestly recommend Strathallan.
So, the question is ‘am I happy here?’
The answer is COMPLETELY." - Resident (Olive)

Facilities & activities
Café
A community hub for catching up with friends and enjoying a treat.
Many of our newer communities have an on-site café. We encourage interested residents to get involved and help the café operators.
Hair salon
Our on-site hairdressing, barber and beauty care services are convenient and affordable.
Many Arvida communities have a hair and beauty salon that looks after both ladies and gents. Our stylists are talented and friendly, so you’ll look forward to your regular appointment.
Library
Our books, your books, everybody’s books!
As a resident of an Arvida community, you won’t have to spend money on reading material. There will be a community library full of new and donated books and magazines. Some libraries have a computer for online reading too.
Piano
Tinkle the keys or sing along while someone else displays their musical skills.
You’ll notice that ‘piano’ is listed as a feature for many of our communities. We take care to keep these beautiful instruments in tune, so that residents can rediscover the pleasure of making music. Adept grandchildren are welcome to perform too!
Pool table
Whether it’s fiercely competitive or just for fun, a game of pool is enthralling.
Socialising around the pool table is an option at many Arvida communities. Aside from fun, playing pool is good for staying active, burning calories, stretching the body and challenging the mind.
Swimming pool
Swim some laps or splash out with an aqua-exercise class!
Many of our communities have heated indoor pools for all-year-round exercise. It’s great to take the weight off your feet and work on your swimming style.
Vegetable gardens
Get your hands dirty and grow some of your own food.
Raised vegetable gardens are an opportunity to collaborate with other gardeners in your Arvida community. Together, you’ll grow great things.
