Resthaven is a comprehensive retirement village providing a full range of care levels. Nestled on a large site and within easy walking distance to the main shopping centre in Gore, Resthaven looks out to beautiful views of the surrounding Eastern Southland hills.
The village comprises of 21 units sold under an occupation right agreement. These units are self-contained with support available from the rest home / hospital if needed. One of the many benefits of Resthaven is that if care needs do change, dependent on availability, residents are able to remain close to friends and within familiar settings.
Residents are encouraged to keep active, try new hobbies and continue to enjoy the ones they love. There are many activities and outings available to residents; bowls, chapel, concerts, cooking, exercises, flower arranging, housie and the list goes on. When looking around the grounds and inside Resthaven, there are many quirky and unique crafts that have been made with the activities team and residents themselves. There is also a library which caters for both large and small printing books, which is connected to the local library to maintain a wide supply of books. Resthaven has a van which is available to take residents out shopping and exploring.
The village offers a welcoming and homely lifestyle, with a team of dedicated staff to make living there a real pleasure.
We have 21 units, set up in a well maintained large area with lovely gardens and lawn. There are currently units for sale. Please contact our Village Manager Juliana Baxter on 03 211 8258.

NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who ‘buy’ into a retirement village. If you intend to ‘purchase’ you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
