Retirement living in Christchurch and Canterbury
Life doesn’t slow down when you move to a Bupa retirement village – in fact, it’s about embracing the life that’s right for you. In Christchurch and Rangiora, our retirement communities are thoughtfully located in areas offering convenient access to shops, amenities and healthcare facilities.
Our Canterbury locations include Cashmere View Retirement Village, Parklands on Papanui Retirement Village, Parkstone Retirement Village in Christchurch, Ashford Retirement Village in Prebbleton, and Ballarat Retirement Village in Rangiora. Our villages offer a range of living options such as retirement villas, apartments and serviced apartments, and have a Bupa Care Home on site, meaning care is available if needs change over time (subject to availability).
Why choose a retirement village in Canterbury
Christchurch combines the convenience of a major city with the relaxed pace of Canterbury life. Whether you prefer leafy suburbs like Ilam and Cashmere, the semi-rural charm of Rangiora, or the village feel of Prebbleton, you'll find Bupa retirement villages that offer a mix of independence and community.
Bupa’s retirement villages in Christchurch are close to parks, shops, transport, and medical centres, and offer regular social activities for residents.
Thinking about retirement living?
If you're considering retirement village life, you might be wondering what age you can move, how much it costs, and how waiting lists work. The minimum age for moving in is 70, but timing is personal, and often guided by lifestyle, not age.
We recommend registering your interest early, as some village’s villas or apartments are in high demand. You can also chat to our team about the costs involved, and what’s included. Our aim is to make your move as smooth and stress-free as possible, so you can focus on enjoying your new home.
