Built in 1972 by the community for the community, Cambridge Resthaven sits amid established trees next to the greenbelt in one of the Waikato's most attractive towns. Residents enjoy countryside views and are just a 10-minute stroll from Cambridge's shops and cafes. Whether you're seeking independent living in a villa or apartment, supported living, or full care including dementia memory care, Resthaven has grown to offer options for every stage of retirement—all underpinned by a local charitable trust ethos.
A full range of accommodation built over 25 years, from one to three-bedroom villas and apartments (many with garages) to ensuite rooms and serviced apartments. Established neighbourhoods include The Close, The Court, The Gardens, and the newer Views on Vogel development.
Community spirit is woven into daily life at Cambridge Resthaven.
A monthly social calendar keeps residents connected. Regular resident meetings, nurse clinics, and twice-weekly shopping trips are standard. A new dedicated community centre is under construction, featuring a bloke's shed, gym, pool, and hobby room. Day programmes run on campus and at Magnolia Lounge in the wider Cambridge community.
