About Our Village

Cosmopolitan Village is privately owned by the Wu Family.  It was initially designed in 2007 for students, but morphed into retirement accommodation as part of a family vision to provide for the older members of our community.

​

Our unique village is run by Denise Te Tai – a one-time nurse with some 30 years’ experience in residential and retirement living.  Denise worked at the Roskill Masonic in the late 1990s before being seconded to Selwyn Village and has headed Cosmopolitan since 2014. 

​

Karen Provan is a valued member of staff providing support services including cooking and housekeeping. 

Together, Denise and Karen go out of their way to provide a personal and caring service catered to each residents’ unique needs.
