Residents Say It Best
”I have been a resident for 10 years and am so glad I made the move, it was the best thing I ever did, no house to maintain and the upkeep is all done by management. Meeting and making several new friends and having lots of different activities and social gatherings which you can go to if you wish.
The safety and care during level 4 COVID lockdown was amazing our groceries, medical needs were all collected for us by management and just knowing we were never alone made us feel safe and protected. Anyone thinking of making a move to the Retirement Village at Richmond Villas is making the very best choice as everything’s there for you.”
Barbara Darrah
”We love living in the village, there’s so much to do with all of the activities if you want to do them. The staff and everyone are so helpful and friendly and as a plus we are in walking distance of the main street, supermarket and cafés.
We have never regretted our decision to move in here and it adds to our family’s peace of mind that we are safe, secure and settled.”
Pamela & Ross Yeates
”We chose Richmond Vilas because we wanted to remain in Thames but keep our independence. Locality with easy access to shopping centre, mall, supermarket and hospital are a big advantage. Buying into a lifestyle village at our age means maintenance of home and gardens taken care of.
Management and staff are always very helpful and listen to any queries we may have. There is always something within the village to keep us occupied and with a very active residents’ social committee who arrange outings and events within the village we would never get bored.
Talking to many friends our age who are residing in retirement villages around New Zealand that have visited us consider we are more than well catered for in our years of retirement and we feel very fortunate to be at Richmond Villas”

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.
