We are delighted to announce that the Pacific Coast Village Te Manaaki Care team has taken home the trophy for the Hercules Health Innovative Delivery Award with their Passport to Memories programme at ACA Excellence in Care Awards 2025.


At Te Manaaki, care is not just delivered — it is reimagined. Their award winning Armchair Travel program, which takes residents on immersive journeys from around the world without leaving the village, is a perfect example of innovation. Through creativity and thoughtful design, they transform everyday experiences into moments of joy, connection, and discovery.

Congratulations, Te Manaaki Team — this recognition is well deserved!
