Homes Designed For Living

Homes designed for living

Whether you’re looking for a contemporary apartment, spacious villa or cosy cottage, each is thoughtfully designed for comfort, style and everyday living.

Whether you enjoy entertaining family, relaxing with a good book or simply having a space that’s easy to make your own, each Oceania village offers a range of homes designed to suit different lifestyles and stages of retirement.

I wish I had moved to the village much sooner… The location is excellent and the village has property to suit everyone’s budget.

Enjoy More

Enjoy more. Maintain less.

Spend less time mowing lawns, cleaning pools and keeping on top of home maintenance, and more time doing the things you enjoy.

From maintaining the village grounds to caring for shared spaces, we take care of much of the day-to-day upkeep, giving you more freedom to travel, catch up with friends, pursue hobbies or simply enjoy life at your own pace.

Community at The Heart

Life at an Oceania village

One of the greatest joys of retirement living is being part of a welcoming village where it’s easy to connect with others when you choose.

Catch up with neighbours over coffee, join in village activities or simply enjoy the comfort of knowing friendly faces are close by. At Oceania, you’ll find the right balance of independence, privacy and connection.

I am surrounded by lovely gardens and friends and neighbours. It is a great comfort, you never need to feel alone and I know I only have to press a bell if I need help.

Four Point Promise

We want you to feel at home when you move into an Oceania Village. Here’s some more information about how we work, so you can rest easy knowing you’ve made the right decision.

Weekly village fees

To help streamline some of your outgoings, we charge a weekly village fee which covers costs such as rates, building insurance, maintenance and repairs, and gardening. The weekly village fee may increase annually to cover increased village operating costs and ensure we can continue to provide you with our high level of service. Rest assured, we guarantee any increase will be no more than the annual equivalent percentage increase in New Zealand superannuation benefit payments.

*Full details of our weekly village fees and increases are set out in our village Disclosure Statements and Occupation Right Agreements.

Fees stop when you leave

It’s never nice to pay for something when you’re not using it. That’s why, when you move out of your Oceania apartment or villa, your weekly fees stop as soon as you hand the keys back. It’s as simple as that.

Stress-free move-out process

Moving is hard enough without the added worry of actually selling your house. That’s why Oceania takes care of marketing and selling your apartment or villa for you. Better yet, we’ll also cover the refurbishment costs – but you may need to contribute if there are any damages that are over and above general wear and tear.

90 day guarantee

We trust that you’ll love your new home at Oceania, but we also know that finding the right place to call home is important. So if you change your mind, we offer a 90 day money-back guarantee.

Further Benefits

Reputable & dependable management

When you move to Oceania, you know you’ll be in safe hands. Despite the fact that we may look like a new company, as we were listed on the NZX in 2017, we actually have a long history in Aged Care Living and Village Living. Many of our sites have been a big part of their local communities for over 50 years.

Access to care

Nobody likes having to move, especially if you do need extra support. Thankfully most of our Villages have a Care Centre either onsite or close by. If you have been needs assessed as requiring care and a Care Suite or Care Room is available at the level of care you need, you’ll have preferential access over applicants who are not Oceania village residents.

Easy transfer to a Care Suite

If you need to transfer to a Care Suite from an Oceania apartment or villa, you can rest easy knowing you’ll always be able to afford one. We’ll allow you to use your apartment or villa’s equity to fund your Care Suite purchase. Even if the value of the Care Suite is more than the refund from your abode, you won’t need to find additional funds. You can move into your Care Suite whilst you’re waiting for your apartment or villa to resell.

Deferred Management Fee capped at 30%

Nobody likes surprises – especially hidden fees. At Oceania, our Deferred Management Fee is capped at 30% after 3 years, so you know upfront the maximum fee you will pay when you vacate your villa or apartment.

Capital protection

When you move into an Oceania apartment or villa, you can relax knowing that your home is protected, even in the event of a natural disaster, because Oceania arranges insurance over all of its buildings. Your interest is also protected in the event of a turn in the property market as we will bear any capital losses if your apartment or villa sells for less than what you paid for it.

Interest if your unit remains unsold

If you ever need to leave your Oceania apartment or villa, we make it as stress-free as possible – even if your unit doesn’t sell straight away. We will pay you interest on your refund amount if your villa or apartment remains unsold after six months.
