Waikiwi Gardens Rest Home

I would definitely never put any of my relatives in this establishment.

My parents were in for 3 weeks respite. They loved it so much they want to go back long term. Excellent care and food and friendly staff. Nothing is a problem. Very homely atmosphere .

The Manager who showed us through was lovely and professional and the staff seemed very friendly. Music was playing and people were smiling. But honestly the owners of this home need to spend a lot of money to update. It is very tired and needs modernising in every way possible, carpets, Lino, furniture are all old and dated. I didn’t see a bed nicely made or a room that appealed in the slightest. In my opinion this home is absolutely in dire need of a makeover urgently. Would not consider this home at all in the condition it’s in. I admire and feel sorry for the the staff that work in such poor conditions to make this rest home a happy place for its residents.

Fantastic environment with wonderful staff that genuinely care for the residents living there. A lovely small place that sets them apart from all the others, it really is 'a home with a heart' as they say.

Passionate staff that genuinely care for the residents. A home away from home.
