Villas

Bream Bay offers a range of well appointed two-bedroom villas designed with ease of living and quality in mind. All of our villas are light and spacious, featuring modern kitchens and two full bathrooms. Villas feature quality fixtures and fittings including stone benchtops, Bosch appliances, ceramic tiles and chrome plated tapware.

With generously-sized living areas, plenty of storage space, a carpeted single garage and a heat pump, you’ll be comfortable no matter the season. And our villas boast open-plan living which extends to your very own outdoor living space, so you can make the most of those balmy summer afternoons.

Wellbeing at Oceania

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.

Five Ways to Wellbeing

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.
