About Summerset at the Course (Trentham)

Summerset at the Course (Trentham) logo

Summerset at the Course is located in Upper Hutt, right next door to Trentham Racecourse. The village is at the end of a cul-de-sac, so it’s peaceful and quiet with minimal traffic noise.

The village is set in pastoral surroundings on a level site, looking out on farmland framed by the Tararua Ranges. Close to the Upper Hutt shops and just 30 minutes from Wellington central, this village promises a fun and busy day-to-day life. Aside from the live entertainment out on the track, there are an array of activities available within the village itself. There is an indoor swimming pool, a pool table, library, workshop, café and bar. The bowling green is outside right next to the course, and the calendar is filled with organised outings and activities on site.

This established village is home to more than 400 residents in a mix of villas, townhouses, apartments and serviced apartments, as well as care rooms in our newly refurbished Care Centre. One of the benefits of living in a Summerset village is knowing that should your needs change, a range of care options are available to you.

Our on-site care centre offers rest home and hospital-level care. (Care is subject to availability, and eligibility criteria.) To find out more about this village and the homes we currently have available, contact Kay Southon today on 04 527 2980 or request a free information pack by clicking on the button at the top of the page.

*All Summerset homes are sold under a licence to occupy and are subject to availability and eligibility criteria. Summerset does not offer rental accommodation. Images are indicative only.
