Setting & neighbourhood

Located 20 minutes north of Tauranga on the Ōmokoroa Peninsula, the village sits within a sought-after coastal township renowned for its flat sandy beaches, pohutukawa-lined promenades, and sparkling harbour vistas. The area has retained its relaxed, peaceful charm while growing to meet residents' needs. A new town centre—currently in development within 600 metres of the site—will include cafes, restaurants, supermarket, medical facilities, cinema, and retail spaces, making the peninsula both charming and convenient. The 18-hole golf links is a short stroll away; bowling and tennis clubs are minutes away; and the pristine beach and boating club offer excellent spots for fishing, walking, swimming, and enjoying coastal views.

Now the practical part

The money — what comes back to your family

You've seen why you'd love it. This is the part most families only discover at the exit statement — so we put it in plain sight. Every figure is from the village's own filed Disclosure Statement.

Before you sign the ORA

The reckoning usually arrives too late

  • You're buying a licence to occupy, not the home — you can't sell, rent or borrow against it.
  • A large deferred fee is gone within a few years, whatever the unit later sells for.
  • Your family carries the risk of how long resale takes — and the operator's ability to pay.
  • None of this is hidden — it's all in the Disclosure Statement most people sign without reading.
Have someone independent read it first

We'll connect you with a retirement-village review lawyer or independent financial adviser — no operator pays to be here.
