About Ranburn - Village

Ranburn - Village logo

Located in the Northland coastal community of Waipū, Alden Ranburn Village enjoys a rural lifestyle while still being close to the town’s amenities, including shops, supermarkets, cafes, and local beaches. We’re also just forty minutes from Whangarei.

Our village comprises one, two, and three-bedroom villas with spacious grounds and attractive gardens. Our homely villas are designed for independent living and taking advantage of the Northland sun.

We run a stimulating activities programme tailored to residents’ needs and interests. There’s also a well-stocked library, regular happy hours, and several communal lounge areas, ideal for watching television or catching up with friends. In addition to hairdressing services, residents can book podiatrist and physiotherapist appointments, and our meals are dietician-approved.

At some point in our lives, we may require more assistance in daily life. Our wealth of experience in other stages of care means our team can advise you on your options and explain how it all works. We are here to help and assure you through the stages.

  • Large, garden setting
  • In the heart of Waipu township
  • A varied activities programme
