This village is a unique place to come to live. It was set up by a group of Masons to offer accommadation and services for the older person. The village has continued to develop offering a retirement lifestyle complex. The village is situated in park-like grounds on the west side of Masterton. There are 16 rental flats, 11 affordable priced one bedroom Apartments & 83 two bedroom Villas of various sizes. Of these 14 were built approx. 8 years ago and 6 beginning of 2020. Our charges are less than other villages.There is an active Residents Social Committee overseeing a very friendly community.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
