Cedar Manor, 1920- (Place)

SummaryCedar Manor, also known as the Sixth Avenue Homestead, is located on Sixth Avenue in Tauranga, New Zealand. Built in 1920 by the Tauranga Rimu Company as a residence for its manager, David Cambie, it served as a company house before being sold when local timber resources dwindled. Over time, it became a private lodging house and was renamed Cedar Lodge, inspired by the prominent cedar tree in the front yard. Cedar Manor holds cultural significance, having hosted community events, including the wedding of Edith Cambie in 1923. Architecturally, the property once featured a tennis court and wooden fencing, now replaced by landscaped gardens and a curved driveway leading to the historic veranda. Since 1980, it has operated as a home and hospital for the elderly, managed by the Craig Family Trust, preserving its historical charm within a modern retirement complex.
