Welcome to The Russley Village. We have worked hard to create something very special here.
When planning The Russley, we didn't so much have in mind a traditional retirement village - we were thinking more about a real village. Perhaps like those small memorable villages you might have experienced on your travels.
Like any good village, we wanted to be close enough to the heart of things for friends and family to easily drop in, but we also wanted space and calm with great gardens and a real sense of interest and intrigue.
The perfect spot was a precious and irreplaceable eight acres in the northwest of Christchurch.
From there we were determined that our premium design, construction, layout and facilities would be what the village is known for. Every step we took was to ensure our future residents would have the reassurance of quality.
Premium design with impeccable attention to detail. The Village offers a blend of Villas, Terraced houses and Apartments surrounded by award winning gardens.
Uniquely, The Russley village is a complete and comprehensive offering.
A sense of community, wellbeing and belonging is at the heart of any great village. The Russley Homestead, the Pavilion and the bowling green. These create a central hub - a place for connection, creating a genuine sense of belonging, familiarity and security.
From movie nights to mah-jong, from trips away to a quiet wander in the gardens - there’s always something new to do and discover at The Russley.
Lunch with friends at the brasserie, a barista made coffee at the café or perhaps a seminar from the experts on a subject that interests you – you decide when to fully embrace village life and when to simply sit back and relax.

Testimonials
| Having all the villa's differently designed really gives the village a character that you don't usually see in other villages. We love the letter boxes in the Pergolas. Spaciousness and class there was only one place I was coming to. I never thought when I used to drink at the old Russley Hotel that I would end up living here one day. I rang another resident before we committed ourselves and it confirmed what we thought. Everyone is so friendly. What a relief that our parents are in such a secure environment. Everyday I feel like I am living on a Cruise Ship just love the friendly atmosphere and staff. |

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.
