Parkwood is a peaceful, low-density community of 209 villas nestled in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast, where peace, privacy, and security are woven into every design choice. Run by Parkwood Trust—a charitable organisation that exists not for profit but for quality lifestyle—the village feels like a tranquil residential suburb rather than an institution. What sets Parkwood apart is its unique Village Care service, included at no extra cost, which provides regular check-ins, social coordination, and medical support so residents can focus on their favourite hobbies and adventures. Located on a quiet street yet close to shops and amenities, Parkwood offers the best of both worlds: seclusion and convenience.
Parkwood offers a range of housing options across the village, from independent villas to supported apartments and rest home care.
Life at Parkwood is built on connection, discovery, and support.
The Village Care team facilitates regular social events and coordinates Parkwood Seekers—a celebrated social group that has organised over 2,100 outings in 24+ years. Residents enjoy plays, concerts, musicals, exhibitions, shopping trips, and international holidays to destinations including Australia, Norway, Vietnam, and beyond.
If your health changes, you won't have to leave the place you know. Parkwood Retirement Village offers these levels of care on site:
Parkwood is situated in Waikanae on the Kapiti Coast, an area renowned for its natural beauty and mild climate. The village occupies a low-density residential area less than two kilometres from Waikanae's shopping centre, offering convenient access to local facilities and attractions. Waikanae itself is well-equipped for retirees, with a large retired community and excellent amenities. The village is set among landscaped gardens, trees, and native bush, creating a picturesque, peaceful neighbourhood that feels like a residential suburb rather than a care facility.
