SPACE TO LIVE LIFE YOUR WAY
Weekly fees fixed from age 75. Only at Longridge
Set across 60 acres of open countryside in Paeroa, Longridge Country Estate is unlike any other retirement village in New Zealand. With wide roads, Coromandel views, and generous space between villas, this is a community where residents enjoy fresh air, natural beauty, and the freedom to live independently for longer.
Our two- and three-bedroom villas are light, modern, and easy to maintain, with plenty of room for visitors, hobbies, or just relaxing on your own terms. Whether you’re from Auckland, Hamilton, or further afield, Longridge offers a fresh approach to retirement living - space, connection, and peace of mind, all in one place.
At Longridge we believe in affordable retirement living that still gives you space, quality and freedom.
OUR RESIDENTS
"We looked at 27 villages before choosing Longridge."
"It wasn't just the villas, it was the attitude. There was openness and a willingness to use common sense rather than a long list of rules. That's what made the difference for us."
Neale and Sue Bills, Longridge residents

WIDER WAIKATO
A retirement village for the wider Waikato.
Longridge is based in Paeroa, but a lot of our residents come from across the Waikato. We regularly see people from Hamilton, Cambridge, Matamata and Thames who are looking for something with more space, lower ongoing costs, and a different pace.
For many, it's simply about getting more for their money without giving up the things that matter.
