This business is part of ARVIDA Villages.
COPPER CREST Retirement Village is located in Pyes Pa, Tauranga and offers 120 dwellings of 3 bedroom and 2 bedroom Villa's of independent retirement living.
At the edge of Tauranga city's is Pyes Pa, where Arvida Copper Crest is situated. Most housing options include great views of Mount Maunganui across Pyes Pa thanks to our elevated location. Copper Crest, which had previously concentrated on independent living, has lately expanded its senior living services to include Living Well apartments for assisted living and care suites for individualised 24/7 care. For those seeking accommodations that are future-proof, it means the alluring simplicity of a single address change. There are heated swimming pools, spas, gyms, snooker tables, table tennis courts, and two bowling alleys among Copper Crest's shared recreational amenities. The Meridian Centre, which has a dining and dancing space with a piano, a bar, and a lounge with a gas fireplace, hosts frequent social meetings.

My home at Copper Crest
5 / 5 ★Nothing at this stage
5* village
5 / 5 ★Comfortable living with plenty to do and good company
Aged Advisor Review
4 / 5 ★There would be advantages to listening more closely and acting on residents issues
Village Life is Good
4 / 5 ★Wish we had an easily accessible cafe. Very glad to have moved here from Auckland. Everything is relatively close to access by car/bus. Village life is good. Friendly neighbours to call on/in any time for help and/or company.
Needs a cafe
3 / 5 ★If the Meridian Centre had a cafe it would get plenty of use. I could invite family instead of going elsewhere. Other villages I visit have amin cafe for use by everyone an still cater for people in villas. The staff in care centre are always changing. Some of us used to go up regularly for a snack.
Independent Living
3 / 5 ★Social committee put on/organise entertainment & food- Not Arvida.
Independent Living
3 / 5 ★At present we are entirely independent and are quite happy with our situation. In time that will change so we will have to see what happens then. The M.C has recently been extended so that is a great improvement for us all.
Copper Crest Retirement Village
3 / 5 ★Difficult for everyone just now with major building going on
Village review
2 / 5 ★We are doing upgrades currently at our centre. This has not gone well and the communication is poor. Absolutely nothing has gone to the original plan.
Same facility
2 / 5 ★4 years ago when we moved here, 2 office staff were fully employed to manage office .Since then there are now over 160 occupied Villas & have 1 office staff working daily 9-4 p/week. whose duties are far &
wide some of which necessitates leaving her office & attending to untold problems as well as doing deliveries, transporting non drivers to bus stop, just to name a few duties which proves very inconvenient for residents with issues needing attention & having non response to phone calls,
