Special Features

Beautiful views of the Waitemata harbour. Peaceful environment. Park-like gardens which are well maintained. We also offer a comprehensive continuum of care as we provide Boarding Services also in our Villas and other areas in the facility. The Boardering Services include provision of three meals per day and cleaning services to otherwise independent and able individuals in either our rental Villas or within a room in other areas of our facility. This allows individuals who require some support to maintain their independence for longer while having the security of knowing that help is close at hand if needed. This also allows for a smoother transition into resthome and hospital care if required at a later date.
