Winara Rest Home offers fun, companionship, Wholehearted Care and all the comforts of home – you'll love the open fire in winter.

The park-like surroundings are lovely and there are wonderful views of Kapiti Island and Reikorangi Valley. When you wake to the sound of birdsong, you'll find it hard to believe you're so close to busy Waikanae Village, with its shops, library and entertainment.

Winara is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care.

As part of the global Bupa group, we are able to provide superior clinical support, while focusing on helping each of our residents get the most out of each day. Bupa is one of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers.
