Rata Park Rest Home We provide a 5-bedroom Young Persons Unit alongside our 20-bed care wing

We are a 25 bed Care Home situated 3kms from the Winton township providing a wonderful rural environment, we care for young adults from the age of 16 years old to our centenarians. Set on 4 acres and surrounded by farmland, we are a 20 bed resthome situated 3kms from the Winton township providing a wonderful rural environment with a dedicated team of staff. We offer long and short term care for young and old as well as respected end of life palliative care. Our activities and outings are many and varied and we strive to
accommodate individual resident’s interests and preferences as much as possible. Owners Darren and Vicky, both registered nurses, live on site with their children, providing a real family atmosphere they would love to share with you.

What a fantastic afternoon filled with laughter and cake splats covered in cream. Great way to spend some time in the good weather. Nina and Wayne testing the cake splat game out.

☀️Suns out, funs out ☀️

Blowing bubbles is absolutely not just for kids, give it a go, the nostalgia is worth it 🫧
Then a bit of bounce back paddle and some ever so slightly competitive games of badminton (it may have been the staff that got competitive) 😂

Bring on summer!

We are deeply saddened to share the passing of our dear Bruce McKenzie, who passed away peacefully at Rata Park on the 8th of November 2025.

Bruce was a truly lovely man — gentle, kind, and full of quiet humour. He had a way of brightening our days, and his presence will be deeply missed by residents and staff alike.

It has been our absolute privilege to care for Bruce and to be part of his journey. Our love and thoughts are with his wife Linda, and children Greg, Simon, and Roselind, during this difficult time 💛🕊️

☔️ Oh she’s a bleak Sunday morning 🌧️
No better excuse to watch The All Blacks vs Ireland live 💚🖤
Did you peep the Irish flag? 🇮🇪
Am I an Ireland supporter? No
Do I like to make it a bit more competitive and wind the residents up? Absolutely 😏

🌟 Outing Day Fun! 🌟
Today some of our residents enjoyed a fantastic day out at the Extravaganza Fair! 🎪🎠

There was so much to see and do — from colourful market stalls and live music to delicious treats and a lively atmosphere. Everyone loved the chance to soak up the sunshine, share a few laughs, and experience something a little different. 💛

It’s always special seeing our residents out in the community, enjoying new sights and creating wonderful memories together.

Southlanders certainly know how to band together in tough times 💪🏼 We appreciate everyone for their generosity and understanding over the last few days. Rata Park is now up and running as per usual. Also a massive thank you to Darren and Vicky. They have ensured not only their residents safety, but their employees and families. We have seen this care and support happening all over. Way to go Southland 💛
