The sunsets are magnificent. All homes are two bedrooms, some also with a study, open plan lounge/dining area, fully equiped kitchen, bathroom/ensuite with wet area shower and complete with quality floor coverings, drapes, light fittings, auto garage door opener and the emergency call button for ongoing security.

“CARING IS OUR PASSION”

To know that a continuing care hospital is on-site and close at hand provides peace of mind for residents and their families. At Tararu Village our Rest Home & Hospital facility came first and, for some time has held the reputation as a homely friendly place where the best attention is provided at all times. The experienced, professional team of registered nurses, caregivers and support staff are on hand to provide quality assurance, support and service to all residents in their care. Tararu Rest Home & Hospital has a warm, relaxed, family atmosphere where new friends are made every day and residents become part of one large family. Regular meetings are held with residents for the sharing of ideas to best provide the services that meet their ever changing needs. Tararu Rest Home & Hospital had been renovated and refurbished as part of the Tararu Village residential development.
