12 months, zero fees*
Relax, we’ve got it covered, enjoy a year of free fees*
At Ryman you won’t pay your base weekly fee for a whole year* when you sign up to an independent apartment or townhouse at a participating Ryman village before 30 June 2025.
That means that you won’t pay rates, water rates, building insurance, maintenance fees and more. That’s great financial certainty.
*Participating villages only, Ts and Cs apply


Wood splitting jig
SharpAs Tool Tips
It’s that time of year again—time to get ready for splitting firewood!
Pictured is a New Zealand-designed wood splitting jig, brought in for sharpening ahead of winter. It’s a great alternative to an axe and works well without much effort.
If you have axes, tools of any kind, kitchen utensils, or knives that need sharpening, come and see me:
🔹 Redwood Market – Saturday mornings
🔹 Marlborough Farmers' Market – Sunday mornings
Or contact me directly at 027 444 5535.
⚠️ With heavy rain possible, I may cancel attendance—so please get in touch if you're unsure.
Cheers,
Ron
