Just minutes from the city, it’s easy to balance an active social life and your leisure time. Visitors are often surprised how spacious the village is, with lush gardens and room to breathe, you feel part of the cosy close-knit community whilst maintaining that important sense of privacy.
The Bayview offers the opportunity to retire in a comfortable villa in one of New Zealand’s most popular retirement locations, with a choice of dwellings to suit your individual needs and lifestyle.

Many of our residents are active in the community enjoying social activities at local clubs and societies. Around the corner from the expressway, and with public transport outside the gate, it’s a breeze to get to the shopping centres at Brookfield and Bethlehem, or one of Tauranga’s famous beaches. If you don’t feel like venturing very far, there is plenty to do right on your doorstep in the village community centre – from guest speakers and indoor bowls, to Happy Hour and themed events.
Live life the way you want to, with the freedom to do the things you love. We’ll take care of all the maintenance - building repairs, exterior cleaning and the gardening too. Don’t feel like cooking?
