About The Vines at Bethlehem

The Vines at Bethlehem logo

Our ethos here at The Vines is centered around enhancing your life during the finer years.
We provide you with everything you need to relax and simplify your environment so you can live freely.

Our village has been designed to feel both welcoming and sophisticated, surrounded by beautifully landscaped grounds and modern villas. The community is secure and gated, with a 24-hour emergency call service, so help is never far away should you need it.

A lively social club and several community groups have been established, fostering a sense of belonging, that will only evolve as our village does.

Perfectly positioned on what was once the iconic Mills Reef Winery, The Vines is just moments from the thriving Bethlehem precinct. Residents enjoy an easy stroll to fantastic amenities, boutique shopping and sensational dining, in the prestigious suburb of Bethlehem. The Vines is an easy distance to the local doctors, pharmacy and physiotherapy practices.

Bethlehem’s superb locality promises convenient access to all main arterial routes. Seaside mecca Mount Maunganui is a short drive across the harbour bridge; its golden sands and scenic walkways are an attractive drawcard.

The iconic Mills Reef winery building, once an art deco-styled winery and event space, is “The Vines Clubhouse”.

Whether you prefer to be in close reach of others, or enjoy your own space, we have the home to suit you. Choose from one of our two or three bedroom villas, in detached and duplex configurations.

To find out more about what it is like to live at The Vines, call Tony Stack on 021 328767 and he can answer any questions and show you around.
