A Village with Heart
Avonlea Villas was created by the Avonlea Charitable Trust with one clear vision: to ensure older residents of Taumarunui and the surrounding districts could remain local, supported, and connected. The Trust knew that for many, leaving behind familiar clubs, friends, and the town’s warm community spirit was never an option.

Living Well, Staying Local
Here, you’ll find the best of both worlds: a small, welcoming community that feels like family, with the town’s clubs and amenities right at your doorstep. Whether it’s golf, bridge, the RSA, or a swim at the heated pool, your memberships are included — keeping you active, engaged, and close to the places you already know and love.
Ready for You
Each villa is thoughtfully designed for modern living. Kitchens come fully equipped, appliances and heat pumps are included, and solar panels help lower your costs by giving credits back to you. Every detail is considered so you can settle in quickly and focus on enjoying life.
Peace of Mind, Without Losing Independence
And should you ever need extra support, you’ll have peace of mind knowing the Avonlea Resthome and Hospital sit right alongside the village. Care is there if and when you need it — reassurance without intrusion, giving you confidence to live life on your terms.
Shared Value, Shared Future
Unlike many villages, Avonlea Villas offers residents a 50% share in any capital gain when their villa is on-sold. It’s a simple but powerful way of ensuring your investment works for you, while also strengthening the village for the future.
More Than a Home
Avonlea Villas isn’t just a place to live. It’s a way of staying close to the people, clubs, and landscapes that have always been part of your story. It’s a promise that you don’t have to leave your community to enjoy the comfort, security, and freedom you deserve.
Come and see the difference for yourself — Avonlea Villas is waiting to welcome you home. Read less
