Opened in 2023 on the outskirts of Te Awamutu, Whai Mauri Ora is a purposefully designed community that blends into the rural landscape, with sweeping views across five mountains. Architecturally designed villas cluster among native plantings, while resident-led community gardens and a glasshouse foster connection and shared purpose. An architecturally designed clubhouse is under construction, set to become a vibrant social hub. This is a rare opportunity to be among the first to shape a vibrant new community built around wellbeing and the things that matter most.
Architecturally designed one, two and three-bedroom villas positioned to capture sun and mountain views, with open-plan living and seamless indoor-outdoor flow.
A vibrant social hub is taking shape at Whai Mauri Ora.
The new architecturally designed clubhouse will feature dining, library and lounge spaces, indoor pool and gym, generous outdoor areas, and a bowling/croquet green. Residents enjoy community gardens, organised entertainment, social outings, and a strong sense of connection.
