We provide specialist medical & nursing care and support services to patients living with an illness

Waipuna Hospice is situated alongside the Wairoa river in Te Puna, just outside of Tauranga. We have a short stay Inpatient Unit and also care for patients living in their own homes in an area that extends from Waihi Beach to Pukehina. Our Day Services Clinic enables newly referred and the more active patients to come to Waipuna for assessment, treatment and consultations. Our services include family support, education, equipment loan, therapeutic massage, a biography service and a Day Programme. This is all provided at no cost to patients - which is why we rely on our community to help us raise the $8.4 million we need this year to meet the shortfall not covered by government funding. You can help us by attending our events, purchasing merchandise, supporting our Hospice Shops as customers or donors of goods, volunteering...lots of ways!

Ready to sell your home? 🏡

Through Homes for Hospice, The Northern Group donates 100% of the commission from the sale of a selected home to Waipuna Hospice.

Our first Homes for Hospice house raised $38,400. Now we’re looking for the next one.

There’s no catch, and it costs you nothing extra. You sell your home as you normally would, and the commission helps fund compassionate end-of-life care.

A venue that knows how to put on a good event ✨

We had the pleasure of capturing the Mercury Baypark and Waipuna Hospice Long Lunch, and the whole setup was something special. From the custom-made lighting created by the events team to the beautifully styled space, every detail came together perfectly.

The food was delicious, everything ran seamlessly, and the atmosphere was a vibe from start to finish.

If you’re looking for an event space that brings everything together, Mercury Baypark is one to have on your radar!
