It’s hard to believe Summer has arrived and the Christmas Festive Season is upon us once again. This year has been an immensely busy one for the Bethlehem Shores team and we’re delighted with our progress. We believe we’re well on the way towards Bethlehem Shores being the finest retirement Village in New Zealand.

The unprecedented demand for our waterfront sites means that we have only ONE more available – this the last opportunity to secure a home with uninterrupted sea views. The spacious 289m2 floor plan offers 3 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, beautiful open plan living areas with a media room, study and double garaging – this home truly is something special. To find out more about Lot 205 and how you can call it home, call our friendly sales team today.

Just imagine waking up to the beautiful sun rise over the picturesque Tauranga harbour and watching the tide drift in as the day goes by. This really is the lifestyle many can only dream of, and now could be your opportunity to call it home.

Earth Works begin!

It is with much excitement that we see the earthworks beginning for the proposed Club House. The site is currently being excavated and prepared with over 7000m3 of fill being added in order to build the site up and maximise the stunning harbour views from this prime location. We anticipate construction of this most magnificent and prestigious club house and health spa will start in early 2016.

New SPEC homes Under Construction

Do you like the idea of having a brand new home with the convenience of being able to move straight in? Why not purchase one of our new SPEC homes which are currently under construction, and let us complete the building programme for you. We have three homes currently under construction and due for completion in early 2016. Each home has a unique floor plan with an emphasis on open plan living and good indoor/outdoor flow. With their central location and beautiful surroundings these won’t last long!

Out and About with Residents

The month of October saw residents fundraising for two very deserving causes; the Prostate Cancer Foundation and the Breast Cancer Foundation. The organisers were delighted to share $500.00 between both charities.

The lead up to Christmas promises to be a very social time of year for residents with weekly happy hours, the last ladies morning tea for the year, dinner at the Tauranga Club, and the Bethlehem Shores Christmas Dinner being held on the 15th December.

Planning A Visit?

Due to the popularity of Bethlehem Shores we suggest that you plan an appointment with a member of our Sales Team. This is a non-obligatory appointment but will assure you spend quality time with us and gain sound information so that your time spent is of value to you as you consider the option of such a lifestyle that Bethlehem.

The construction team are moving full steam ahead with their preparation of land for Stage Two, with house designs and lots already selling well. As expected, there has been considerable early interest in Stage Two with its proximity to the Club House and the introduction of new home layouts makes choosing a lifestyle at Bethlehem Shores attainable for most discerning buyers.

It is with much excitement that we are now able to announce the construction of the Bethlehem Shores Club House and Health Spa is almost due to begin. We anticipate earth works will begin towards the end of this year and construction will commence in early 2016.

This outstanding facility has been meticulously planned for you to make the most of your retirement. The architecturally designed Club House and Health Spa is proposed to include a Café/Restaurant, Pool, Gym, Spa, Movie Theatre - and with much more on the cards the Club House will no doubt become the bustling centre point of the Bethlehem Shores lifestyle. Its location and design will encompass the natural beauty of the surrounding areas and maximise the stunning views of Tauranga harbour and the majestic Kaimai Ranges.

Stage One is selling out quickly. We have experienced a lot of interest in homes with water views and these options are selling very well, however we do have a limited number of homes with sea views still available. If you are interested and wish to avoid disappointment, feel free to call one of our friendly sales team today.

Are you still considering moving to Bethlehem Shores but not sure if it’s right for you? The Bay of Plenty Times recently featured an article on retirement villages and the lifestyle they provide, particularly in the Bay of Plenty. We are delighted they chose residents from Bethlehem Country Club (sister village to Bethlehem Shores) to share their views on retirement living and the enjoyment they derive from calling Bethlehem Country Club home. As Mr Travers so succinctly said - “It’s a great lifestyle, it’s just superb really”.

Bethlehem Country Club residents really do have a lifestyle many would be envious of, and Bethlehem Shores promises to deliver the same luxurious lifestyle Bethlehem Country Club already offers. If you’d like to read the full article, check it out on our website.

As many of you are aware our focus over the last two years has largely been on Bethlehem Shores, Tauranga’s most luxurious retirement village. The success of this village has been absolutely overwhelming and we are delighted to have 31 homes currently occupied or under construction. It’s something we’re extremely proud of considering it’s only been 12 months since construction started. To find out more about Bethlehem Shores view our website at www.bethlehemshores.co.nz .

We’re also proud to announce Bethlehem Country Club is now operating at 100% capacity with all construction completed. Offering a beautiful club house with gym, indoor swimming pool, bowling green, croquet lawn plus many more indoor leisure activities this truly is a fabulous community to be part of. It’s lovely to see the warm and welcoming community that has developed within Bethlehem Country Club.

Our rest home and hospitals in Hamilton and Tauranga continue to maintain very high levels of occupancy which is a true reflection of the standard of care our residents receive and the high quality environment they enjoy. Our staff continue to demonstrate genuine care and compassion for all our residents and it’s extremely rewarding to receive comments such as this:

“The treatment of the Residents by all the Staff is absolutely wonderful. The view from the lounge is stunning! I don’t really know how to put my appreciation into words, but I think it is a lovely ‘homely’ home and I am so happy to be here.”

Bethlehem Views is proud to have won the Jackson Van Interiors Design and Build awards at the National Aged Care Conference in Wellington Held on 15th – 18th Oct 2014.

This award is a reflection and a testament to the tireless work that the Fraser Sanderson, Diane Rodger & Ruth Thomas put into building the Bay of Plenty’s first purpose built dementia care unit.

‘We always knew we had something very special, but this award reaffirms this unique facility really is among the best dementia care units in New Zealand’ say Diane Rodger, General Manager of Care Services. We’re all extremely proud of this achievement and to be receiving accolades like this at a national level is something that we’re all extremely proud of.

The judges acknowledged the research undertaken prior to the development beginning. It was evident there was a large amount of time spent researching the needs of our future residents, the needs of the local community and how a purpose built dementia care facility will best assist residents. Having such a uniquely designed building allows residents suffering from progressive brain failure to live a life with reduced anxiety, and a greater enjoyment of life which is what Bethlehem Views aims to achieve.

If you’re interested in finding out more about this fabulous facility call Eliza Benfall today on 07 929 7290
