Open Days
Bay of Plenty
Mon 12 - Fri 16 October
10am to 2pm
One Village Each Day of the Week. Bringing the beach closer might mean more time for the lifestyle you love and less time spent maintaining a home.

Beach, closer
Metlifecare's participating villages offer distinctly different ways to enjoy the region. Compare a small social community near central Tauranga, a spacious country-club setting, established resort-style living and modern coastal retirement villages. With one village open each day, you can take your time and experience what makes every community different.

What happens on Open Days?
Open Days are an opportunity to experience the village for yourself and get a genuine feel for what day-to-day retirement living could look like.
Explore the villages
One participating village opens each day from 12th–16th October, 10am–2pm. Come to the location that interests you most or plan several visits across the week.
The Avenues
Nestled between leafy Memorial Park and the charm of Tauranga’s favourite cafés and shops, The Avenues is social, small and close to it all.
Greenwood Park
Tennis courts, swimming pool, nature trails, seven-lane bowling green and oodles of parking for the caravan and boat. Spacious and well-established, on 42 acres, Greenwood Park feels more like a country club than a retirement village.
Bayswater Village
A resort-like village near stunning Mt Maunganui beach. With scenic vistas, yet handy to local shops and cafés, it’s not for nothing this village has been described as a tropical playground.
Pāpāmoa Beach Village
Fancy a beach holiday 365 days a year? Just a short stroll from the pristine beach, with the ambiance of a tropical resort, our residents live privately and independently alongside active, like-minded retirees.
Bay Sands Village
Step into a new era of retirement living at Bay Sands Village - a modern, coastal village with community at the heart.
