Where the good years begin
There comes a point when you start thinking differently about home.
Not because you have to, but because you want to. You want less maintenance, less pressure, more time and more freedom. And perhaps a little more financial flexibility as you begin the journey toward retirement.
Goodfellows is a lifestyle village designed for exactly that moment.
Goodfellows has been designed for those over 60 looking to simplify life and enjoy the next stage with greater freedom and less maintenance. It offers a different kind of living option - one that combines affordability, independence and community within a welcoming neighbourhood setting.
For some, it’s about freeing up equity from a larger home and unlocking financial breathing room. For others, it’s about positioning themselves between Auckland and Hamilton to stay close to children and grandchildren. For many, it’s about stepping into a warm, like-minded community in a growing provincial town, without compromising on space, quality or independence.

I know you will love it
Living at Lakeside myself, I know just how special this area is. I thoroughly enjoy the bike trails that wind through the neighbourhood and the lifestyle here offers a rare balance - open spaces, walkways and natural surroundings, while still being conveniently close to the city and everyday amenities.
What really stands out about Lakeside is the sense of community. The welcoming local groups, shared spaces and friendly atmosphere make it easy to feel connected and at home.
I hope you are as excited as I am about Goodfellows and what it will bring to Lakeside. I look forward to welcoming you.
Civil works are already underway, with amenities currently under construction. The first residents are expected to move in from 2027, with the shared facilities ready from day one. That means you’ll join a community that’s complete from the beginning.
Delivered by Winton, one of New Zealand’s most experienced community developers, Goodfellows is not about traditional retirement living. It’s about improving your lifestyle earlier, while you can truly enjoy it.
This is your next chapter.
And it’s a good one.
The Model
Less to manage
more to enjoy
Homes at Goodfellows are offered under an Occupation Right Agreement (ORA). While this differs from traditional freehold ownership, an ORA is structured to support flexibility and long-term ease.
