About Matamata Country Lodge

Matamata Country Lodge logo

Ready for a retirement that feels easy and connected? Come and see what Matamata Country Lodge can offer.

Set among six acres of quiet gardens, Matamata Country Lodge Retirement Village is ready to welcome you.

You can come and go as you please, have friends and family visit or stay, and make your freshly renovated home your own. The village is only a short walk from the town centre, with cafes, eateries, and shops close by.

Matamata Country Lodge is one of Waikato’s most popular retirement villages. With a settled community and on-site management, there is always someone around to check in, help out, and keep an eye on your home if you are away. Village living also means you do not have to worry about garden upkeep or home repairs, so you can get on with living.

Life here is simple in the best way. There are shared spaces to enjoy when you feel like company, and quiet corners when you want your own time. Some days might be a chat over morning tea, a game of indoor bowls, or joining an outing into town. Other days, it is just knowing there are familiar faces nearby and support if you need it.
