Woodlands Rest Home and Village

Family-friendly is how we’re often described by our residents - and we certainly live up to that reputation! From the staff who greet you in the hallways, to the fresh and inviting living spaces, at Woodlands you’ll feel right at home. Our main lounge is a vibrant hub of activity. Follow the music and laughter to find a friend to chat to, or to join in the day’s events. Or if it’s peace and quiet you crave, explore the bountiful gardens, or relax in a comfy chair in one of our many cosy nooks.

We don’t have visiting hours at Woodlands because we know it’s important you stay connected to your community. It’s home, so friends and family can join you anytime for a cuppa and catch up. We’re just around the corner from the town centre and Coastal Highway, so it’s a breeze for visitors to pop in, or get you out and about to local shops and cafes.

Hop in the van for a jaunt, you’ll never know where it will take you next. Sights-seeing around the valleys, or hot chips and ice cream at Kaiteriteri beach, there’s exciting new destinations each week. Or if it’s music you’re in to, enjoy your own personalised playlist with I Love Music. Furry friends, amazing art, a sensory room and theme days, there’s something for everyone no matter what you’re interested in.

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. You’ll be sure to be up for second helpings!

Great care is what we do and we’ve got the accolades to prove it. Oceania’s won the supreme award from the New Zealand Aged Care Association 3 years in a row, so you can be sure you’re in good hands. When it comes to your care, you know what you like and don’t like - and we want to know too. Because everyone is different all of our residents get a personalised care plan, so from meals to medications, everything that’s important to you is covered. Woodlands provides rest home, hospital and end of life care and has choice from standard rooms to Care Suites, so no matter your needs or budget there are plenty of options.

Woodlands is bordered by Thorps bush, a stunning spot for a stroll or watching native birdlife. Close to town, it’s easy to get to the local supermarket, shops and cafes. Some of Tasman’s gorgeous beaches are only a few minutes’ drive away, and are a great place to enjoy the view.
