Named after pioneering New Zealand novelist Jane Mander, this Te Kamo village sits amongst peaceful gardens with views across to the hills. Whether you choose a light-filled townhouse, a quiet apartment, or the extra support of assisted living, you'll find a lifestyle that suits you. The village hums with activity—from morning yoga and lawn bowls to evening dinners and movie nights—yet offers the sanctuary of your own secure home. As your needs change, the on-site care centre with 112 rooms means you can access rest home, hospital, or specialist dementia care without leaving your community.
Choose from spacious townhouses, independent apartments, or serviced apartments with chef-prepared meals and housekeeping support. All homes are designed with comfort and security in mind.

A vibrant community where connection and activity are woven into everyday life.
From the all-weather bowling green and heated indoor pool to the cinema, library, and beauty salon, there's always something to do. Chef-prepared meals in the dining room, happy hours at the bar, and organised outings keep the community engaged. Yoga, exercise classes, lawn bowls, table tennis, arts & crafts, bingo, movie nights, and a glee club ensure you can pursue your passions.
