Aside from the live entertainment out on the track, there are an array of activities available within the village itself. There is an indoor swimming pool, a pool table, library, workshop, café and bar. The bowling green is outside right next to the course, and the calendar is filled with organised outings and activities on site.
This established village is home to more than 400 residents in a mix of villas, townhouses, apartments and serviced apartments, as well as care rooms in our Care Centre. One of the benefits of living in a Summerset village is knowing that should your needs change, a range of care options are available to you. Our on-site care centre will offer rest home and hospital-level care. (Care is subject to certification, availability, and eligibility criteria.)
To find out more about this village and the homes we currently have available, contact Kay Southon today on 04 527 2980 or request a free information pack by clicking on the button at the top of the page.
*All Summerset homes are sold under a licence to occupy and are subject to certification, availability and, depending on the type of home, eligibility criteria. Summerset does not offer rental accommodation.

Summerset has signed a lease agreement with Kelvin House a 31-bed facility in Manor Park while it remodels its own care centre at Summerset at the Course – Trentham. Summerset expects the project to be completed during 2025 with information about transfer options back to Trentham prior to completion.
Families need to factor this in their decision-making process at this time.

Testimonials
| Living a very busy life at Trentham’s Summerset at the Course, Erin doesn’t have time to be retired. Monday and Wednesday are spent doing exercise and tai chi classes at the village. She enjoys Happy Hour on Fridays and creative activities on Saturdays. “I keep Sunday free for my family. But they often complain that I’m never at home.” Erin says. “I struggle to be retired because I’m so busy. But the best thing is I can do whatever I want now.” Erin moved into her villa at Summerset at the Course in November 2014. “I was on my own in a four-bedroom family home and was looking at having to spend $20,000 repairing the roof. Then I got cancer and thought stuff it! “I did lots of research into all the retirement village living options and I just really liked the feel of Summerset. I’ve never had so many people wave to me in all my life,” Erin says. “My villa has a big living space and being on a corner section is very light and open. Moving into Summerset really felt like coming home – I love it.” |

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.
