Service Information

This business is part of Ryman Healthcare Ltd.

Choosing Ryman means embracing retirement living, your way. In our villages, you’ll find the perfect blend of independence and community, with premium amenities, award-winning services, and a range of care options. Discover a retirement filled with opportunity and a lifestyle that brings you joy.

Located close to the Stoke shops, Ernest Rutherford Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens with views of Tasman Bay and Mt Arthur. Enjoy a lifestyle where you can take off on holiday knowing your home is safe and secure with lawns mowed, windows washed and mail collected while you’re away. Soak up the peace and quiet in your own sanctuary, or make the most of the village amenities like a game of bowls with friends or playing with the grandkids in the pool.

Our residents live in spaces created to inspire, indulge and entertain. Apartments and townhouses are designed with easy living in mind, while assisted living in a serviced apartment offers the benefits of independent living with added support to make life easier, including housekeeping and delicious chef-prepared meals.

When you feel like being social, it’s easy to grab a coffee in the village café or catch up with friends at our weekly Happy Hour.

Enhance your wellbeing with our ACC-accredited Triple A fitness programme, gym, and a social calendar of activities, events, and trips to choose from. Some residents like to organise their own hobby groups when they meet people within the village who share their interests.

Connection is woven into the fabric of our communities, and social networks grow as residents form friendships with like-minded people. Our team see our residents as family and are always keen for a story and a laugh. You’ll find your people in a Ryman village.

Along with independent and assisted living, Ernest Rutherford Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital, dementia and respite care. In some circumstances you can also choose to receive rest home care in your own serviced apartment.

We’re proud to be named New Zealand’s Most Trusted Brand in retirement living for the 11th time by Reader’s Digest. That’s trust built over time, through shared experiences, thoughtful gestures and communities who care. This recognition is complemented by our Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers, highlighting the exceptional lifestyle and amenities our villages offer.

It’s what sets us apart, and we invite you to visit to experience it for yourself. Better still, talk to our residents and their families - they’re the experts!
