View our village newsletter here. You will get a glimpse into village life and what's been happening lately.

Choosing Ryman means embracing retirement living, your way. In our villages, you’ll find the perfect blend of independence and community, with premium amenities, award-winning services, and a range of care options. Discover a retirement filled with opportunity and a lifestyle that brings you joy.

Located close to the Stoke shops, Ernest Rutherford Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens with views of Tasman Bay and Mt Arthur. Enjoy a lifestyle where you can take off on holiday knowing your home is safe and secure with lawns mowed, windows washed and mail collected while you’re away. Soak up the peace and quiet in your own sanctuary, or make the most of the village amenities like a game of bowls with friends or playing with the grandkids in the pool.

Our residents live in spaces created to inspire, indulge and entertain. Apartments and townhouses are designed with easy living in mind, while assisted living in a serviced apartment offers the benefits of independent living with added support to make life easier, including housekeeping and delicious chef-prepared meals.

When you feel like being social, it’s easy to grab a coffee in the village café or catch up with friends at our weekly Happy Hour.

Enhance your wellbeing with our ACC-accredited Triple A fitness programme, gym, and a social calendar of activities, events, and trips to choose from. Some residents like to organise their own hobby groups when they meet people within the village who share their interests.

Connection is woven into the fabric of our communities, and social networks grow as residents form friendships with like-minded people. Our team see our residents as family and are always keen for a story and a laugh. You’ll find your people in a Ryman village.

Along with independent and assisted living, Ernest Rutherford Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital, dementia and respite care. In some circumstances you can also choose to receive rest home care in your own serviced apartment.

We’re recognised by Canstar Blue for having the Most Satisfied Customers, which highlights the outstanding lifestyle and amenities on offer at a Ryman village and complements our tenth win of Reader’s Digest’s Most Trusted Brand.

It’s something to be experienced so we invite you to visit and talk to our team. Better still, talk to our residents and their families – they’re the experts!

Testimonials
Testimonials
"With Dad finally agreeing to purchase a serviced apartment, mum could finally relax and has blossomed. We as a family are so happy and are thankful that Mum and Dad are in such a great place and everything is right there for their care. We all love visiting as the atmosphere is so happy and welcoming."

"I would like to say thank you for your kindness and thoughtfulness to have our sister and her special needs daughter have Christmas lunch with Mum on Christmas Day. This meant a great deal to Mum and all of our family and caused great happiness at a time where Mum was unable to spend Christmas with family. I am so pleased we made the decision to choose Ernest Rutherford for Mum, your excellent care and attention to go above and beyond is absolutely wonderful. Your professionalism and kindness is very much appreciated."

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.
