Services

We have a positive, thriving spirit in our community; everybody chips in to help each other. Our people are involved, passionate and active.

Despite our small resident population, we have a full range of businesses and community services available in the district. Whether you are young or old, healthy or infirm, socially or culturally minded, active or bone lazy, most services and facilities are available to meet your needs.

We have a local hospital, aged care facilities, room in our schools, recreation grounds, hundreds of interest groups. You can buy an equivalent home here for half the price of those in most other large towns in New Zealand.

And where else can you enjoy 35 hectares per head of population open space!
