Service Information

Facility information supplied by provider.

This business is part of Ryman Healthcare Ltd.

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 close to local shops, Edmund Hillary Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens across 10 hectares of park like grounds. 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 with friends 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 grab a coffee in the village café 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, Edmund Hillary Village offers a range of care options to support you. These include rest home, hospital, dementia and respite care. In some circumstances you can also choose to receive rest home care in your own serviced apartment.

Trust is built over time, and Ryman has been recognised in the Trusted Brands Awards for 13 years in a row. We've won an incredible 11 times and been highly commended twice. Our residents and their families know they can rely on Ryman, year after year. This recognition is complemented by our Canstar Blue award for Most Satisfied Customers, highlighting the exceptional lifestyle and amenities our villages offer.

It's what sets us apart, and we invite you to visit to experience it for yourself. Better still, talk to our residents and their families - they're the experts!

2026 Survey
3 / 5 ★
With Ryman’s current financial situation, staff cuts etc, plus the disruption from ongoing remedial issues I have observed in the 12 years as a resident, I would not recommend Edmund Hillary.
I would suggest information about Aged Advisor is at the beginning of the survey rather than at the end. It could help with the decision whether one wishes to complete this survey.
Reviewer: Anonymous 26 Jun 2026
3 star review
3 / 5 ★
Because of the reported ongoing need for remedial work I can’t recommend this village higher than a 3.

Very Noisy with Building Repairs
2 / 5 ★
When I came here it was quiet and lovely. Two years ago it changed. We had a building being built at the back and the noise was terrible for a year, then came the repairs to our retirement village as it was slipping, and noise never stopped for a full year so now I believe they don't guarantee it won't happen again so why would I recommend it.

Facility Response: Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review, we are very sorry to hear of your experience.
Sinking
1 / 5 ★
Edmund Hillary was built in 2002 over a rubbish dump. This place continues to sink since May 2024. Please note we are sitting on top of methane gas and so I would never recommend this place.
Reviewer: Anonymous 05 Aug 2025
Facility Response: Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and for your five-star review about our helpful and caring staff.
We want to reassure you that remedial work has been completed at the village to address any ground-related issues, and we continue to monitor the site closely. This includes regular checks for gas levels, with all readings consistently confirming the environment is safe for residents, visitors, and staff.
If you have any specific questions or would like to talk through anything in more detail, please contact us at resident.support@rymanhealthcare.com — we’re always happy to help.

Buy some land nearby for staff parking, to relieve the shortage.

We have at Ed Hillary Resort for over 8 years and it was the best decision we ever made. We are in the safest place now that Covid 19 virus is in New Zealand. Thank you to all our staff who are fantastic..
