Nestled in the heart of Cromwell with Lake Dunstan and rolling hills as your backdrop, Golden View is a purpose-built community where independence meets support. Whether you choose a sunny villa with your own garage and courtyard, or a serviced apartment with flexible help, you're part of a small, friendly neighbourhood that respects both connection and privacy. From the bowling green and golf croquet course to the cinema and craft room, there's always something to do—or a quiet corner to retreat to.
Choose between spacious villas or one-bedroom serviced apartments, each designed for comfort and sun-filled living.
Golden View is designed for residents who want to do as much or as little as they please.
Gather in the swimming pool, spa, gymnasium, or lounge & dining room. Enjoy the bowling green, petanque terrain, golf croquet course, and community garden. For quieter moments, there's a chapel, library, cinema, workshop, and craft room. All homes are linked to a 24-hour emergency support system.
