About Chatswood Retirement Village
Welcome to Chatswood Retirement Village. In late 2014 we opened our Hospital wing, new kitchen, laundry, lounge and Retirement Village facilities. In mid 2021 we opened our new reception and care suites. In mid 2023 we opened more fabulous care suites. All of these are built to exceptional quality and design. We also offer rest home level care in the existing buildings on site.
Our village manager, Russell Walters, heads a team of talented, skilled and experienced senior management alongside staff committed to delivering exceptional care. Russell comes from a strong background of managing residential care facilities throughout New Zealand.
Residents are encouraged to maintain independence, creativity and individuality at Chatswood, which is expressed through their personalized surroundings and personal choice. We believe that each resident is a unique individual who is part of a family and community. Age is part of the life continuum.
Residents from all parts of the facility enjoy regular outings in the Chatswood Van which you may have seen out and about, especially with the warmer weather becoming more frequent. Make sure to give us a wave and say hello when you see us around!
We are very excited about the new changes here at Chatswood and encourage you to come and have a look around our facility located in Opawa, Christchurch.

Mythbusting - Retirement Villages are a rip-off
Why it’s considered a worthwhile investment.
NOTE: The Retirement Villages Act 2003 (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. Some Retirement Village type facilities are not required to register under The Act so different legal requirements apply. Please make sure you investigate fully.
In some villages there may be some Retirement Village units that have multiple uses e.g. a Serviced Apartment may also be used as a Residential Care Suite. The same unit may therefore show in several places on Eldernet.
