Retirement

Whakatane and Ohope are popular spots for retirement. With some of the highest annual sunshine hours and an appealing climate, along with our relaxed lifestyle, the region is ideal to enjoy your retirement years.

The region also offers a wide range of activities including attractive golf courses, arts, clubs and sports activities. The town centre is thriving with busy retail shops and attractive cafes. Many major retail chains have a presence in Whakatane.

The healthcare facilities are excellent with a wide range of practitioners available. Real Estate is attractive, yet still affordable with a number of new subdivisions and luxury apartment buildings currently underway.
