Mountain View Village sits on the northern slopes of Timaru, with sweeping views across rolling farmland to the snow-capped Southern Alps. Its 95 dwellings are nestled among beautifully maintained gardens, cherry blossom-lined streets, and thoughtfully placed trees that create both beauty and privacy. Residents enjoy a vibrant social life—from petanque and bowls to musical afternoons and fellowship evenings—all centred around the John Stubbs Community Centre. With shopping and cultural attractions just minutes away, and Caroline Bay's summer carnival spirit nearby, this is a place where you can truly settle into community and leisure.
Independent cottages and rest home standard rooms in a park-like setting.
A vibrant, socially active community
The John Stubbs Community Centre is the heart of village life, hosting committee-arranged activities, craft pursuits, and regular social gatherings. Residents enjoy outdoor and indoor recreation, cultural outings, and fellowship events throughout the year.
