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 next to Ahuriri Park, Princess Alexandra Village is set in beautifully landscaped gardens with the Botanical Gardens nearby. 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, Princess Alexandra 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!

Love, Care, Support and Happiness
5 / 5 ★
I have had extremely wonderful care for 2 years especially when my husband died here. Excellent. I have had nothing but lots of love, care, support and happiness here. I can't fault the caregiving. A very genteel and gracious place for elderly to live. Treated with dignity.

I am happy to live in a smaller retirement village where over the years I have got to know most of the residents & engage in the activities I enjoy.

It would be nice to have hot meals instead of lukewarm. Also a bit more of a variety.

[In my opinion]the wardrobe in my room is far too small & there is no storage. The way the call bell is situated limits where the bed goes. This means the wardrobe door can't be fully opened.

Shortly after arriving here, I felt there was very much a segregation between townhouse & serviced apartments. Meals are terrible: boring & repetitive, undernourished, over cooked, not enough green vegetables. Who wants carrot nearly 365 days a year. Not enough variation.

Amazing management & caring staff
4 / 5 ★
Amazing management & caring staff. I feel very safe & well cared for. PA is part of the community of Ahuriri where once I cannot drive I still have most amenities at hand.

I've lived here for nearly six years. I've dietary requirements. I often get given meals that aren't suitable for me. I've very little food to choose from the cafe. There needs to be better communication between staff.

Make clearer to residents costs involved in various levels of care. Establish a resident's committee for feedback.
