A memorable milestone for the Anchorage, on Friday afternoon we officially opened the Villages’ very first boat ramp! Signaling the very first facility of its kind of any retirement village in New Zealand. Residents can now make use of their very own private boat ramp. This will allow residents the ability to launch and retrieve their vessels into the waterways at Marsden Cove.
Village Manager Rhonda Johnson said, “At The Anchorage Village we have just opened our amazing, private residents boat ramp with help from our local Iwi representative of Patuharakeke, our enthusiastic residents, our building and construction team, Hopper Living management team and shareholders, and the Anchorage Village Team. Even Spice, our resident feline representative attended.”
The sun came out to help celebrate, the bubbles were flowing, and a sausage sizzle was put together for all to enjoy. Residents can now access the boat ramp and enjoy fishing, kayaking, and more waterborne activities. Soon we will add a fish filleting station to complete the area.
Thank you to everyone who attended and made the day a great success.
