Bethlehem Country Club is an Arvida Living Well Community set across nine hectares of mature, landscaped gardens in Bethlehem, Tauranga. Architecturally designed, north-facing homes offer maintenance-free living with resort-style facilities at their heart—a heated swimming pool, spa, gymnasium, bowling green and croquet lawn. This is a community of like-minded people who value both privacy and independence, yet thrive on socialising, activities and the chance to enjoy life to the full in sunny Bay of Plenty.
Exclusive, architecturally-designed independent homes with light-filled open plan interiors, great indoor-outdoor flow and beautifully landscaped gardens. All homes are north-facing to maximise the sun.
The resort-style clubhouse is the social hub, and extensive recreational facilities encourage residents to spend less time in their car and more time enjoying the Bay of Plenty sunshine.
A vibrant calendar of events, entertainers, Friday happy hour and group activities keeps the community connected. The heated pool is a favourite with visiting grandchildren, while hobby rooms, library and lounge spaces cater to quieter pursuits.
If your health changes, you won't have to leave the place you know. Bethlehem Country Club offers these levels of care on site:
Bethlehem Country Club is located in Bethlehem, one of Tauranga's most sought-after suburbs, close to the Gordon Carmichael Reserve—ideal for early morning walks—and just a short stroll from Bethlehem Town Centre. The community enjoys proximity to cafés and restaurants, walking and cycling tracks, a large shopping centre and medical facilities. Friends and family love to visit, helping residents maintain strong connections with the wider Tauranga community. Should health circumstances change, nearby sister communities Bethlehem Views and Copper Crest provide full-time residential care, including hospital and dementia care.
