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 off Potae Avenue in Lytton West, Kiri Te Kanawa Village enjoys both a beautiful rural outlook as well as views out to Young Nick's Head. 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 catching a movie in the cinema 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 challenge friends to a game of bowls on the bowling green 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, Kiri Te Kanawa Village offers a range of care options to support you. These will include rest home, hospital and specialist dementia 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!

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.
