Golden Pond Lifecare Village, beside the Golden Pond Private Hospital, sits in the heart of Whakatane in the warm, sunny eastern Bay of Plenty. The village is set in picturesque, landscaped grounds, and it’s an easy 10-minute walk from the facility into Whakatane’s cafes, shops and recreational riverside area.

Golden Pond has 18 home units for independent living, including a mix of one and two-bedroom homes. All the units have open-plan living areas, comfortable bedrooms and modern kitchens. Bathrooms include a sit-down shower, while the laundry is usually part of the internal access garage. The elegant Lodge building has 11 more studio units with bedroom/living areas, kitchenettes and ensuites. These units are intended for those who need more help with daily living. Their residents enter into a separate contract with the hospital to ensure they get the level of care they need.

Lifecare village staff take pride in serving the close-knit village community, offering get-togethers and multiple activities throughout the week. Many residents are very proud of their communal and private gardens. Home Unit owners at Golden Pond enjoy an independent lifestyle but are reassured that hospital support is available in emergencies.

The Golden Pond home unit ownership model means that each resident has freehold ownership and accrues the capital gains. However, you pay a weekly service fee and a capped Lifecare Fee when you sell the property. This Lifecare Village has been owned and run by the same family for the past 30 years. It prides itself on offering exceptional care in friendly surroundings. Contact the property team with your enquiry today.
