At HBH Group, we believe every senior deserves a safe, welcoming and age-friendly place to call home, regardless of their circumstances. Stevenson Village was originally built in 1974 by the local RSA and Sir William and Lady Stevenson and was purchased by HBH in 2017 to help make this vision a reality.
Today, Stevenson Village offers a connected, close-knit community where seniors enjoy affordable, quality homes. In September 2025, we opened 10 new apartments to meet growing demand, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing secure, comfortable living for seniors on fixed incomes.
As a community housing provider (CHP), we provide accommodation for seniors on the Public Housing Register. We currently have 22 subsidised (low cost) private rental units available to seniors who do not meet the public housing criteria. Please email villagecoordinator@hbh.org.nz to learn more on the criteria for entry.
A close-knit community that cares
Stevenson Village is a safe and secure community offering affordable rent, peace of mind in your later years, and so much more:
A home to call your own – Affordable rental units with no hidden costs, ideal for those on a fixed income.
Independent living – Bedsit (studio) and 1 bedroom units are thoughtfully planned for ease and comfort with a living area, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom.
Private & peaceful – 46 independent living units set in peaceful grounds, with maintenance taken care of so you can enjoy life.
A supportive community of people at a similar life stage – with a range of activities on offer, from movies and exercise classes to celebrations.
Convenient location in the heart of Howick at 18 Botany Road, with shops, cafés and public transport just moments away.
Managed by HBH Group – A charity committed to ensuring that every older person has the opportunity to age well and live a life filled with purpose.

Testimonials
| Colin's story: "How lucky am I! When Colin needed to find rental accommodation in his 70s, he was worried. Now, he counts himself lucky to have landed on his feet at Stevenson Village. “Now, I’m surrounded by a community of people who care. We’re all around the same age and in a similar situation. We really look out for one another and that’s one of the best things about living here,” he enthuses. Another great benefit is that Colin no longer needs to worry about money as much. “It’s such a relief, and if I’m careful, I even have a bit left over each month,” he says. “My life has got much better – how lucky am I to be living in such a wonderful place!” |

Special Features
| Stevenson Village is exceptional in that it provides, for physically independent people of limited means, low cost rental units in a village atmosphere with the security of HBH Senior Living Managers on call. In 1977 a joint venture between Howick Returned Services Association and Sir William and Lady Stevenson saw the development of the Stevenson Village which consisted of 35 Home Units, a Village Hall and Manager's residence. The units, designed to maximise the sun, are built in blocks of two,three or four. They are constructed in a style that resembles the early Fencible cottages in the original settlement of Howick Village. Although residents are encouraged to maintain their independence and outside interests there is regular opportunity to enjoy the companionship of others in the Village and friends and family are welcome to visit. The carpeted Village Hall with its well stocked library, piano, organ, kitchen and recreational facilities is a focal point for this. Our Village Coordinator Maree Chisnall, makes contact with residents regularly, and as well as attending to grounds and maintenance issues to insure the smooth running of the Village. |
