Why choose a Retirement Village in Bay of Plenty?
Golden sands, sun, balmy weather – the Bay of Plenty has it all. It’s been a much-loved holiday destination for generations of Kiwis. Perhaps you have nostalgic memories of summers at the bach in the Bay, as a child or with your own children, and are thinking of retiring to the sun and sand. If you’re looking for a relaxed coastal retirement lifestyle, but with city amenities, then this is a great region to check out.
Clustered throughout the Bay there are so many retirement villages to explore with us. Many are in Tauranga, Ōmokoroa, Mount Maunganui and Pāpāmoa, but there are also options in nearby Katikati, Te Puke and Whakatāne. Luxurious or laid-back beach club, high rise apartments or villas and townhouses, set in lush gardens or beachfront for the sand-in-shoes lifestyle and morning beach walks, the Bay covers the lot.
If you’re considering moving from Auckland or another city, you’ll find every city facility you could need or want in Tauranga. And you’ll also find that beach holiday vibe to take you back to those carefree childhood summers.
