Community Living for Over-65s

Located on the outskirts of Te Awamutu, Arvida Whai Mauri Ora is a purposefully designed community that blends into the rural landscape. Opened in 2023, it features clusters of architecturally designed Villas, native planting to attract birdlife, and sweeping views across five mountains — Mt Pirongia, Mt Kakepuku, Mt Ruapehu, Maungatautari and Te Aroha.

Resident-led community gardens and a glasshouse add to the sense of connection and shared purpose. Construction of the community clubhouse is underway, and it’s set to become a vibrant social hub for the village.

Named by Ngāti Apakura, Whai Mauri Ora means in pursuit of wellbeing — a reflection of a community built to support freedom, connection, and living life your way.

Be among the first to shape Whai Mauri Ora.
