A MORE CONNECTED LIFE
Todd Valley is a small cohousing neighbourhood tucked into the hillside above Atawhai. Warm, light-filled homes built to a high standard of design and comfort, set around shared gardens, a common house alongside a restored stream. It's private living with real community alongside it: neighbours who know your name, spaces made for connection, and a warmer, healthier way to live.

JOIN THE COMMUNITY
Todd Valley Masterplan
Keeping the cars to the outside allows for a park-like quality for the common garden sitting alongside the shallow stream.
All homes have their kitchen areas facing the public space with the living area and deck on the private side of the home overlooking the stream and valley.
The Common House is a place for shared meals, gatherings and social activities.
This masterplan currently shows 9 homes. Plans are underway to move the Common House to a central position and add a further 3-4 homes to the Southern corner.
