We are a family-owned company and are committed to upholding values like trust, honesty and compassion which we were raised to believe in.
This means you will be treated with courtesy and have your rights respected by us.
It’s our vision to make the years you spend here the best years of your life.
Our residents share the same desire, to live in comfort and luxury. They also want to be connected with nature - whether that be a vegetable garden, a lawn or simply a beautiful outlook from their home. At Matamata Country Club, it’s our job to exceed those expectations and to surround residents with facilities and opportunities to maximise their quality of life and community connection.
Our Vision
Matamata Country Club is developed by Nathan Sanderson and Brendon Russo, the duo responsible for the highly successful Tamahere Country Club. The pair have a long track record of delivering luxury retirement homes, having worked on almost a dozen different villages between them including Queenstown Country Club, Bethlehem Country Club and Bethlehem Shores.
Nathan Sanderson is the son of retirement village pioneer Fraser Sanderson. He shares his father’s passion for excellence and the challenge of making each new village better than the last. Meanwhile, Brendon Russo has held key operations roles for Sanderson Group for many years and has a background in hospitality marketing.
“We’re not a big corporation” Brendon explains. “We’re both very hands-on, hard-working and have a genuine desire to help people. We’ve worked together for over 10 years now, driven by a shared vision to continually improve the quality of life our villages make possible for our residents”
