Kowhainui Home is like one big family. Residents are encouraged to invite their loved ones to visit at any time; there’s no set visiting hours. We believe pets can be both calming and energising. So, we welcome animals at our home. If you have a pet that’s part of your family, ask us about moving to Kowhainui Home with them.
