Hudson Warkworth began as a luxury village for those between a large family home and a traditional retirement setting.
It has now evolved into creating a vibrant, connected community where residents young and older can live side by side – meeting on walkways, sharing a pilates class, and socialising in spaces such as the Clubhouse. Set in the heart of the Kowhai Coast, Hudson Warkworth features two stunning new developments – the incredible homes, sections and superb views of the estate we call Hudson Grounds, surrounded by the planned resort-style living of Hudson Villages. Head of Sales Kim Clementson tells us more.
Who are your intended residents for the two projects?
Hudson Grounds is a picture-pretty, bush clad neighbourhood where beautiful, architecturally designed homes are being built. Homeowners will have exclusive access to world-class facilities and we expect the value of these properties to reflect this.
Hudson Village will resonate with homeowners aged 65-plus wanting to downsize but upgrade their lives, with conveniences like the planned concierge services, onsite bar and restaurant, manicured gardens, and state-of-the-art facilities. Like Hudson Grounds residents, they’ll be excited about the close proximity and lifestyle opportunities that the greater rural Warkworth and Matakana coast areas offer.
How rigid are the design guidelines if someone wants to use their own architect?
Our vision is based on the rural character of the Warkworth area and compliments the environment. We want to ensure that there is a high architectural standard without onerous restrictions. Drawing inspiration from rural and farm buildings, there’ll be pitched roofs and light natural materials and colours. We have six stunning homes underway – three of these are for sale and will be move-in ready by June 2026.”
Can you tell us more about the amenities and services on offer?
The Clubhouse will be a striking, all-timber, three-level barn like structure designed by Peddlethorp Architects. It will house Village-only amenities on the ground and second floors including a private lounge, a snooker room and wine bar, a library and multi-purpose rooms that await resident input to align interests. The road level will include a cafe, restaurant, and bar open to the public.
The planned Health Club will have a three-lane swimming pool, fully equipped gym, pilates studio, chiropractic and wellness services, spas, sauna and therapy rooms, and is available to all Village and Grounds residents over the age of 18.
A Summer House is planned alongside the river where all Hudson residents are welcomed to bring family and friends together to enjoy picnics, barbecues and private gatherings, as well as the planned walkways through expansive bush and river frontage.
Finally, a concierge service will provide support for both Village and Grounds residents looking for assistance with travel, events, transport or home management.

What is the timeline for the different stages of Hudson Grounds, and how do these align with the construction of Hudson Village amenities?
Hudson Grounds Stage 1–12 Lots has been released and it looks incredible. Stage 2 – 22 Lots is complete though not yet released. Stage 3 is well underway. We expect construction of Hudson Village to begin in February 2026, with the first stage of villas and the Clubhouse due to be completed in June 2027. Construction of the Health Club is scheduled to begin in January 2027.
Can you tell us about environmental protections in place?
Forming part of our original inspiration, the bush has remained intact and is protected by covenants with the exception of a walkway that will both skirt around and filter through some of the bush and river boundary. A full-time gardening team will keep both developments and the walkways pristine year-round, protecting the land and enhancing the long-term value of resident investments.
