Kauri Lodge is an independently owned and operated retirement village in Riccarton, Christchurch. Described as offering “a country outlook in the middle of town”, it’s set amongst 10,000 square metres of green spaces and well-maintained grounds, and borders the Riccarton Bush.

A variety of villas are available. All villas are two bedrooms and include an internal access garage, underfloor heating, double-glazed windows, and modern fittings and furnishings. Kauri Lodge is also home to 55 private rooms, all of which are staffed 24/7 by registered nurses and experienced caregivers.

Owned and operated by the Bennett family, the village has strong family values and prides itself on being warm, welcoming, and inclusive. The onsite Activities Coordinators run a jam-packed social calendar, and there are plenty of communal spaces to relax, including a restaurant, lounge, and sun-drenched library. Residents are welcome to participate in village life as much or as little as they choose, and the wider community of Riccarton with its many shops and restaurants is just a short drive away.

Whether you’re looking for a peaceful or energetic lifestyle, Kauri Lodge ticks all the right boxes. Some staff have been working there for more than 20 years, providing peace of mind that this retirement village is a truly special place to be.
