Everyone has their own idea of an ideal life, and retirement will look different for each of us.

Just 90 minutes from Auckland and only an hour from Hamilton, with Tauranga a little further, Longridge Country Estate enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the "Golden Triangle." Nestled in the historic town of Paeroa, it serves as a gateway to the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty.
Longridge will offer you an amazing retirement lifestyle. The community hub and recreation building will include a swimming pool, spa pool, movie room, cafe/bar dining area, dance and exercise floor, library, beauty room, pool tables and a specialist room for doctors, podiatrists and other practitioners to work from. A communal outdoor events area, community garden and “Men’s Shed” workshop will also be perfect spaces for residents to come together. While this is being developed, an interim clubhouse facility will provide residents with a great communal space to meet and socialise in, consisting of a large kitchen, dining area, lounge, library and pool table.
Many retirees love having the time to travel, and when adventure calls, you can simply lock-up-and-leave, knowing everything at home is secure while you’re away. With plenty of room for camper vans and even your boat on a trailer, Longridge offers so much space, you won’t have to give anything up! You can also enjoy the convenience of a self-drive village van for group outings or borrow a pool car to nip into town. The surrounding countryside is spectacular and just waiting to be explored, while historic Paeroa provides all of life’s necessities, some tempting luxuries, and an amazing retirement lifestyle - right on your doorstep.
We’ll take care of the external maintenance of buildings, gardens and grounds, leaving you free to simply admire and walk among them. If you enjoy tending a garden, you’ll have plenty of space to grow the flowers, plants and vegetables of your choosing. We appreciate that pets are family members too and, subject to a few conditions, your furry or feathered friends can enjoy the Longridge lifestyle alongside you.
