Designed for the 60+, Bloom offers a freehold alternative to traditional retirement villages. Apartments are owned outright, and capital gains sit with the owner when it comes time to sell.
Bloom's central location ensures you're a stone's throw from Manurewa Town Centre's fabulous amenities.

“They must be nurtured, as they’re still young, yet challenged academically to avoid losing interest.” Providing the right support through the change and development is key, Mr Thomas says. “At ACG Strathallan, we hold regular tutor classes for students in Years 7 and 8 to discuss things like peer support, organisation, and preparing for exams; we run camps to help grow supportive social networks; and we ensure our students have access to me, their dean, or the school counsellor when necessary,” he explains.
