Liston Heights sits on the edge of Taupō, one of New Zealand's most scenic locations, just five minutes from town. Modern villas and apartments are arranged in circular 'donut' clusters around shared gardens, creating genuine community while preserving independence. Residents enjoy a strong social calendar—from movie nights and high teas to lawn bowls and happy hours—or can simply relax and enjoy the views. An on-site care home means support is always nearby when needed.
Choose from spacious villas or modern apartments, all featuring separate lounges, bedrooms, kitchens and storage. Serviced apartments include weekly housekeeping, laundry and two meal services daily.
Village life is your choice—active and social or quiet and relaxing.
A full calendar of events and activities brings residents together, from organised entertainment and social outings to games, gardening and wellness. Dining options, a bar with happy hours, and a wellness clinic support healthy, engaged living.
