Ocean Hills is a name that beautifully sums up the stunning geography in the Hawke's Bay, where founder Elaine Atkinson chose to establish the rehab (after falling in a love with a local!). The premium premises are literally on the doorstep of some of the most stunning scenery in New Zealand. It's located on iconic Marine Parade in the art deco capital of Napier, overlooking the magnificent ocean and hills of Hawke's Bay.
