Is Ocean Hills a spa or resort?

Why are we called Ocean Hills?
To me, Ocean Hills beautifully sums up the stunning geography in the Hawke's Bay, where I chose to establish our rehab (after falling in a love with a local!). The home-away-from-home is nestled in a friendly neighbourhood in Hastings, which is on the doorstep of some of the most stunning scenery in New Zealand. We're only a few minutes drive from the iconic Te Mata Peak, 25 minutes drive from the Art Deco capital of Napier and 30 minutes from the rugged beauty of Waimarama Beach.
