Access life’s essentials
at your doorstep.
You can live life at a slower pace, yet enjoy having necessities close by, with Rutherford Marketplace a short 7-minute drive away.

And if you need something more, Kmart at Maitland Riverside Plaza is only 16 minutes from your front door. Here you’ll also find Aldi, Best&Less, a hairdresser, optometrist and plenty of options to grab a bite for that mid shopping energy boost.
Take a stroll down the road to the popular Lochinvar Hotel for a hearty pub feed, open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner. Be welcomed by friendly faces, or indulge in a round or two of pool in the beer garden while you wait for chef-made hearty food. The perfect place to settle into the warm, country atmosphere.
The history of
Tenison Heights
