Atawhai offers comfortable, affordable one or two-bedroom villas. All our villas feature sunny gardens with north-facing aspects and come with a heat pump, so you can stay warm all winter long. Most villas have a garage, or parking available nearby.
Your room is your own private space, so you can decorate it with your favourite pictures and ornaments. Standard rooms are large enough for a single bed, a chair and a wardrobe or chest of drawers. The cost of a standard room is included in the Care Services Fee set by the Health New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora. Premium rooms have additional features such as more space, an ensuite bathroom or outdoor access, but you’ll need to pay an extra amount per day to cover the cost of these premium features.
Care Suites provide both Rest Home and Hospital level care, which means you can relax knowing you won’t have the upheaval of moving again if your needs increase.
Most Care Suites have a heat pump, and all have a full ensuite, as well as a kitchenette with a fridge and a kettle – perfect for making a cuppa when friends and family come to visit.
You own the right to occupy your Care Suite, so you can personalise it with your favourite furniture and treasured pieces. A Health New Zealand – Te Whatu Ora assessment is not required for care that is paid for privately.
AGED CARE LIVING
With a warm, welcoming and family-friendly environment, our focus at Atawhai is making residents feel valued through a highly personalised approach to care.
Atawhai offers the following levels of care:
At Oceania, wellbeing is holistic and person-centred, shaped by lifestyle, connection, culture, creativity, movement and individual choice. Guided by the Five Ways to Wellbeing, our teams create meaningful, uplifting experiences each month. From walking together to raise funds for mental health through initiatives like Step Together, Better Together, to taking part in the New Zealand Garden Bird Survey and contributing to conservation research, residents are supported to connect, be active, take notice, keep learning and give back in ways that feel purposeful and rewarding.
The Five Ways to Wellbeing are based on research showing that small, everyday actions can have a powerful impact on how we feel. At Oceania, this framework helps shape the experiences we create across our villages and care centres, supporting residents to live well in ways that feel natural and meaningful.
The Five Ways are:
Connect – Building relationships, sharing stories and spending time with friends, neighbours and family.
Be Active – Moving in ways that suit your body and ability, supporting strength, balance and mood.
Take Notice – Slowing down to appreciate the moment, whether that’s a garden in bloom or a shared laugh.
Keep Learning – Staying curious, trying something new and continuing to grow at every stage of life.
Give – Sharing your time, kindness, skills or experience with others.
Our team strives to thoughtfully weave these principles into everyday life, creating opportunities for residents to stay connected, active and engaged in ways that reflect their own interests, culture and life story. In doing so, residents are supported to continue finding purpose, enjoyment and a genuine sense of belonging.
Our National Wellbeing Calendar offers a snapshot of the meaningful moments and experiences enjoyed across Oceania villages throughout the year. To see what wellbeing looks like at a specific village, we encourage you to get in touch with your local team for a site-specific overview.
