Our fixed fee guarantee is one of the ways we provide financial certainty. Ryman residents love it as it helps them reduce rising living costs and surprise expenses.
Enjoy the quality amenities at every Ryman village and splurge a little on yourself if you feel like it! Take up that hobby you’ve dreamed of or plan a holiday somewhere warm.
It’s easy to live life your way when you have freedom to do the things you enjoy. It’s another example of how we’re pioneering retirement living.

Our patties are 100% quality beef, and all that’s added is a dash of salt and pepper when cooked. We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including those at the world-class Whangara Farms.

Snoop has been missing for 8 weeks.
It has been hard 😥
He is a 4 year old, male foxy cross, small, black and tan dog.
Thanks to friends we have printed off some big posters and will put them up around the north.
He could be anywhere but sightings have been Mangamuka/Kohukohu/Panguru way. We are also looking Kaitaia and surrounding areas, and Whangarei.
Please keep looking for our boy. If you see him walking the highway stop. It means he has escaped and is trying to find his way home.
We love him. We want him back.
A reward is offered for his return, no questions asked.
Come home Snoopy-do.
