Lady Wigram Retirement Village

Lady Wigram Village in Christchurch is a stunning retirement complex featuring villas, apartments and rest home facilities, including a 40-bed dementia unit and 60-bed hospital wing. Located conveniently close to the local shopping centre, the generous landscaped grounds and gardens are updated with the seasons. Hence, village residents always have lovely outdoor vistas.

The retirement village includes a range of one-three bedroom independent living options. Stylish villas have modern open plan kitchen-living areas, ensuite and walk-in wardrobe, laundry, and garage. At the same time, the contemporary one and two-bedroom apartments offer more support tailored to your needs. Options include an emergency call bell, weekly housekeeping/linen change, morning and afternoon tea and a two-course midday meal.

Village life centres around the Clubhouse and includes a cosy cafe, library, and movie theatre. Fitness opportunities abound at Lady Wigram, with a large indoor swimming pool, outdoor bowling greens and a gymnasium. Village residents can enjoy many activities on offer, including everything from aquarobics in the pool to knit and natter sessions in the comfortable Clubhouse lounge.

Originally built as part of the Golden Healthcare Group, Lady Wigram is now independently owned and run by John Tooby and his daughter Olivia and Charlotte and son in-law Salvatore. Their focus is on running Lady Wigram as a well-appointed and comfortable retirement complex with a focus on daily communication and interaction. Although there is currently a villa waiting list of approximately three years, Lady Wigram welcomes expressions of interest or appointment requests. Read less
