Long-term secure and affordable accommodation in Takaka is available for rent for people with mental health and/or social issues whose housing needs have proven difficult to meet.

Castle Place Housing is made up of five single-bedroom flats, developed in 2001 as a joint initiative between Te Whare Mahana Trust and Mohua Social Services.

Castle Place may also be available for emergency housing or respite.

These Housing New Zealand-owned properties are administered by Te Whare Mahana Trust via a separate Management Committee made up of Te Whare Mahana staff, Mohua Social Services and Women’s Refuge.
