About Awatere

Awatere logo

Awatere sits just north of Hamilton’s river paths in Beerescourt, offering a peaceful residential setting with the convenience of nearby shops, cafés and transport links. Bordering stunning established trees, the surroundings are serene and provide a sense of ease for both residents and families.

We offer Rest Home, Hospital, Palliative and Respite care, supported by an experienced team who put personal connection at the centre of everyday care. Residents enjoy comfortable and modern Care Suites, designed to feel welcoming and familiar. Our approach focuses on preserving independence wherever possible while providing the right level of support as needs evolve.

Awatere’s location makes visiting simple, and families often enjoy a coffee nearby or a stroll along the Waikato River before or after their visit. With its friendly atmosphere and dedicated team, Awatere provides a reassuring place to call home.
