SILVER WINNER QUALITY SERVICE AWARD

Ernest Rutherford Retirement Village

We’re delighted to have been awarded silver in the 2026 Reader’s Digest Quality Service Awards.

This is the eighth time we’ve been honoured in these awards since they began in 2015.

Each year, Reader’s Digest conducts the Quality Service Awards survey to discover New Zealanders’ attitudes towards services from business across various industries.

Companies are assessed based on five pillars: personalisation, understanding, simplicity, satisfaction and consistency.

This recognition reflects the hard work, dedication and excellence that our teams strive for every day in our villages to deliver exceptional service standards.

Thank you to our amazing teams and to all those who took the time to complete the surveys!

Poll: Is litter becoming more of an issue in the Marlborough District

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

We’ve been keeping an eye on the latest reports from The Press regarding the Marlburian wishlist. It seems like there’s a real push for a greener, more beautiful region, with a major focus on our environment, local aesthetics, and boosting tourism.

It’s great to see a vision for a more vibrant Marlborough, but it got us thinking about the "ground level" of our community.

We want to know: Is litter becoming more of an issue in your neighbourhood or favourite local spots?

Poll: How important is the ability to book a doctor’s appointment online?

The Doctors

Hi Neighbours
Here at The Doctors we would love to hear how you prefer to book your doctor’s appointments. With busy schedules, different people find different methods easier.

For some, online booking is very convenient, you can make an appointment anytime without needing to wait on the phone. Others still prefer calling the clinic and speaking to a real person, especially if they have specific questions about their visit.

Your feedback helps us understand what works best for our patients and how we can improve access to care.
