Close to the beautiful Lake Taupō, Wharerangi offers options for both retirement living and aged care living, with one and two-bedroom villas, and a choice of standard and premium care rooms.
Just a 5-minute walk from the town centre and lake but nestled in a peaceful spot away from the main thoroughfare.
With the town centre just a short walk away, you can enjoy having everything you need at your doorstep, including shops, a post office, supermarkets, banks, a movie theatre, a local library and a great variety of cafes and restaurants. The local Cosmopolitan Club is also nearby and is popular with a number of our residents.
Wharerangi offers affordable one and two-bedroom villas in different shapes and sizes, so you can choose the home that best suits your lifestyle. All villas feature open-plan living and dining, custom-fitted kitchens with modern appliances, generous bedrooms with plenty of storage, heat pumps so you can stay cosy all winter long, and a patio so you can make the most of the Taupō sunshine.
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.

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.
