Visitors as usual (but not if you're unwell or recently returned from overseas)
In the perfect central Silverstream location, Heretaunga is a small, boutique rest home with a big heart. There is a strong, close-knit community where new residents quickly become part of the family.

Heretaunga is conveniently located near Eastern Hutt Road, making it easy for friends and family to visit or take you out and about. We're close to the Silverstream Shopping Centre, Trentham Racecourse, Silverstream Golf Park, Stokes Valley Cosmopolitan Club and RSA, Trentham Memorial Park and local churches and cafes.

Hop in the village van for a jaunt, you'll never know where it will take you next. Hot chips at Petone Beach or off to see the sites in Wellington City - there's an exciting new destination every week. Or if it's music you're into, enjoy your own personalised playlist with our award-winning I Love Music programme.

With tender Sunday roasts, hot fish and chips and scrummy homemade puddings… there’s a reason why the dining room is full before dinner! All of the above are regular features on our menu, which is packed with tasty family favourites you’d make at home.

Oceania is a leading provider of premium healthcare services in New Zealand. With over 40 locations across the country, we’ve been part of local communities for over 50 years. We’re recognised as industry leaders in care, winning awards for innovation, food, staff training and community engagement.

When it comes to your care, you know what you do and don’t like – and we want to know your preferences too. Because everyone is different, all our residents receive a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications; everything that’s important to you is covered.
