Live a rich and fulfilling life!

Fergusson Retirement Village encourages independent living in a warm, supportive, caring environment. Relax in the elegant village community centre, use the library or play indoor bowls and enjoy coffee mornings and regular outings. Set in beautiful grounds, there is also a communal outdoor living area with a barbecue.

Apartment living and stand-alone units are available.

Fergusson is part of the Bupa group of rest homes, hospitals, retirement villages and personal medical alarms. We are a private company, and because we have no shareholders, we can invest what we earn to make improvements that help us provide better care.

As part of the global Bupa group, we are able to provide superior clinical support, while focusing on helping each of our residents get the most out of each day. Bupa is one of New Zealand’s leading aged care providers.

The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (hereafter referred to as The Act) is designed to provide improved protection for people who buy into a retirement village. If you intend to purchase you must get independent legal advice before signing your occupation right agreement as required under The Act. Further information about Retirement Villages is available in the section 'Frequent Questions'. Some Retirement Villages are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please do your homework.
