A Hospitality-Led Dining Experience at Te Manaaki Aged Care

Southern Hospitality is proud to have supported the full server and food service equipment fit-out for Te Manaaki, the new care centre within Pacific Coast Village by Generus Group, which officially opened on 8 June 2023. This landmark development sets a new benchmark in aged care, emphasising personalised care, quality of life, and hospitality-driven service in a thoughtfully designed environment.


Seamless Server Integration in a Premium Care Setting

Rather than a full commercial kitchen, Te Manaaki required a compact, efficient, and visually discreet server and plating space to support a high-quality dining experience in a residential care environment. The challenge was to deliver a solution that could manage temperature-sensitive components—chilled, hot, and plated meals—while blending seamlessly with the centre’s refined interiors.

Our team worked closely with the client to design a space that prioritised operational flow, aesthetic cohesion, and ease of use. The result is a beautifully integrated server area that enables staff to serve meals swiftly and discreetly, maintaining a calm, homelike atmosphere across both care suites and communal dining areas.


Thoughtful Equipment Selection for Daily Excellence

To support the daily delivery of freshly prepared meals by The Grill culinary team, we installed a suite of premium equipment tailored to the unique needs of aged care. A Starline GL undercounter dish and glasswasher ensures fast, hygienic cleaning in a compact footprint, while a ScanBox Ergo Line food cart maintains food temperature during transport.

For seamless plating and service, the space features an Adventys Induc-Stone buffet solution, discreetly integrated beneath stone surfaces for elegant, efficient heating. A Pro.Equip electric plate warmer keeps dishes at the perfect temperature, while EuroChill and Pro.Equip undercounter refrigeration units provide reliable cold and frozen storage, all within a compact, ergonomic layout.


Excellence in Aged Care Fitouts

Te Manaaki lives up to its name—a place of care, support, and generosity. Southern Hospitality is proud to have contributed to this innovative, resident-focused project. Our team brings deep experience in aged care and hospitality environments, and we’re ready to help you find the right solution for your space, needs, and budget.
