Wairarapa Village is a boutique retirement community nestled in over three hectares of beautifully landscaped grounds featuring more than 500 varieties of roses, peaceful walkways, and a stream winding through the gardens. Located just 400 metres from central Masterton, residents enjoy the best of both worlds: a serene, secure village environment and easy access to shops, services, and community life. With 37 years of operation and now managed by Be Group, the village offers a full continuum of care—from independent living through to hospital-level support—all underpinned by warm, caring staff available 24/7 and a dedicated social coordinator who keeps the community vibrant.
Choose from comfortable, low-maintenance villas with one or two bedrooms, or serviced apartments offering the perfect balance of independence and support. All outdoor maintenance is included, freeing you to enjoy what matters most.
Life at Wairarapa Village revolves around community, choice, and connection.
A dedicated social coordinator runs a varied programme of events and activities designed to bring residents together around shared interests. Whether you're active or prefer a quieter pace, there's always something on—from exercise classes and day trips to coffee groups, happy hour, and monthly free dinners. The village also hosts community BBQs, sausage sizzles, and resident-led functions through the active Residents' Committee.
If your health changes, you won't have to leave the place you know. Wairarapa Village offers these levels of care on site:
Wairarapa Village is centrally located in Masterton, the heart of the Wairarapa region. Just a short 400-metre stroll brings you to the town centre with its shops, services, and community clubs. The village itself is set in over three hectares of beautifully established gardens and green spaces, creating a peaceful, English-style retreat while remaining fully connected to local life. Security is a priority, with automatic gates closed each night, CCTV monitoring, and regular evening patrols throughout the year.
