Situated in undisputedly Nelson’s best retirement village location.
Green Gables offers a premium option for aged care and retirement living, with beautifully-finished independent living apartments and luxury Care Suites providing Rest Home and Hospital care.
Our desirable central Nelson location means we’re lucky enough to have an array of great shops, cafes and restaurants on our doorstep. You’re spoilt for choice when it comes to finding a place to catch up with family and friends!
Our proximity to town makes it easy for you to be a part of the community to enjoy social activities at your local clubs and societies, just as you’ve always done.
Green Gables offers beautifully appointed villas designed for those who value space, privacy, and connection. With generous open plan living these homes provide year-round comfort and style.
Situated in the heart of central Nelson, your villa at Green Gables is perfectly placed for hosting friends and family, with everything you need just a short stroll away. From local cafés and shops to a vibrant array of restaurants, there are plenty of nearby spots to enjoy quality time together. And with town just moments from your door, staying involved in your favourite clubs, societies, and social activities is as easy and enjoyable as ever.
Green Gables Village offers two and two-plus-bedroom apartments with a variety of layout and sizes to suit your needs. Whether you like to entertain, or simply enjoy your own space, you’ll love the flexibility and open plan living at Green Gables.
These brand-new apartments are spacious and well-considered, with quality fixtures and fittings, and flawless attention to detail. Relish the peace and comfort all year round with mod-cons including double-glazing, heated towel rails and a heat pump. Many apartments have an enclosable balcony with sliding glass doors for a sheltered outdoor space to enjoy in any season.
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. Choose from either a studio Care Suite with an open-plan bedroom and lounge, or a one-bedroom Care Suite with a separate bedroom and living area. Some Care Suites are large enough to accommodate couples, so you can be together – even if one of you requires Hospital level care.
All Care Suites have a heat pump and full en-suite bathroom, as well as a kitchenette with a fridge and a kettle – perfect for making a cuppa when friends and family come to visit. We also have options with private balconies and/or patios.
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.
A Couples Care Suite offers the same assistance and comfort as an individual suite, but with the reassurance of having a loved one right by your side.
With a more spacious layout, Couples Care Suites are designed to keep you together; offering Rest Home and Hospital level care to suit both of your ongoing individual needs*.
With your one-bedroom suite, you’ll enjoy a private ensuite, separate living area and very own kitchenette. But feel free to bring along your own home comforts to really make the space your own.
*Specialist dementia care (secure dementia care or psychogeriatric care) is not available in a Couples Care Suite.

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.
