About The Tides - Metlifecare
Welcome to The Tides. Mangawhai's first retirement village - where everyday feels like a holiday, surrounded by nature, community and a place to truly unwind.
Set in one of Northland's most sought-after coastal towns, this is where effortless living meets the Mangawhai lifestyle. A place designed for those who want the perfect balance of connection, comfort, and calm.
The Tides is Mangawhai’s answer to coastal retirement—villas built for beach living, with space for boards, bikes, and views worth waking up for. Thoughtfully designed to sit in harmony with native kanuka and estuary surrounds, it offers a fresh, modern lifestyle by the sea. Close to cafés, local shops, and the golf course.
As Mangawhai’s first retirement village, The Tides will set the standard: combining sustainable design with coastal charm. Be among the first to call The Tides home.
Stage 1 Villas are currently under construction, completion anticipated by mid-2026 and selling off plans. Our on-site sales suite is now open by appointment only. Contact Leanne on 09 222 1348 to enquire today!

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who 'buy' into a retirement village. If you intend to 'purchase' you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
