A place to call home
Welcome to Blue Haven Bonaira
Comprehensive Care, When You Need It
Blue Haven Bonaira is a beautifully appointed aged care home, located just moments away from Kendall’s beach in the scenic coastal town of Kiama on the south coast of New South Wales.
With its 134 beds across eight purpose-built care houses set amongst beautifully landscaped grounds, it sets a benchmark for comfort and quality. There are beautiful landscaped gardens to enjoy as well as an onsite café, hairdresser, chapel and more.
Our Bonaira residential aged care home includes two dedicated dementia homes. We call our model of care ‘The Haven Model’, which focuses on person-centred care. Our highly trained care staff treat our residents with dignity, respect and offer compassionate care, 24/7. Services available include residential aged care; respite (short term) care; dementia care; and palliative care.
Residents enjoy taking part in regular social activities, groups and events with other seniors. There is a walking group, designed to help increase health and wellbeing, as well as regular social bus trips to local destinations like shopping centres, and weekend markets.
We also offer various activities and events for our disabled community, supported by the NDIS.

The Blue Haven Bonaira Aged Care Home Benefits
From the care we provide to the relationships we build.
For your peace of mind, we provide specialist care for your loved-one by a dedicated team of Registered Nurses and personal carers. We have the expertise to assist with complex care requirements, and will always discuss your care with you and your family.
At Hall & Prior we know that placing your loved-one in care is a big decision; we see it as an honour to care for them and we look forward to welcoming them to our family.
Staying active and socialising is an important part of a healthy lifestyle. Our activity program changes each month, but will always include bus trips and outings, arts and crafts, movie days and theme days. We have a number of volunteers supporting our home and have regular musical performances, fetes, raffles and visits from school groups.
Friends and relatives are welcome to visit at any time and can catch up over a cup of tea in one of our comfortable lounges or peaceful gardens. There are also local cafes, shops and parks nearby that are ideal for outings.
Your room will be furnished for you, but we encourage you to bring personal belongings such as photographs and soft furnishings to help you feel at home.
Enjoying a variety of delicious, nutritionally balanced meals is an important part of maintaining good health. From our central kitchen, our executive chef, sous chef and dietician create menus that provide variety and maximum nutritional value without compromising on taste. We offer choices of hot and cold meals, cater for allergies, intolerances and culturally-specific needs, and create a special menu for a theme day each month.
