We are a friendly, caring community. Become part of our Cargill family and be cared for by our wonderful staff, whilst making new friends and learning new activities.

Light, bright and welcoming, Cargill is set amongst beautifully landscaped gardens, just a hop, skip and jump from the Waikiwi township where you’ll find all the essentials such as a pharmacy and library.
