"Review written during the COVID 19 lockdown..."

Pros

If you're going to be confined, Ngaio Marsh Village is a good place to do it. Walking round the Village is like therapy, with beautiful gardens to view and friendly people to chat with (keeping the right social distance, of course). I can particularly recommend the independent townhouses, with their full-length window views over gardens, walkways, streams, and village facilities.

Cons

We are strongly recommended to not leave the village grounds during the lockdown. Almost everything we need is delivered to our door. This limitation is hard for many of us, but we know full well why Ryman are following this policy - to keep us alive.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

We know that all village staff are doing their absolute best to keep the residents safe and well. Thank you!

Pros

Cons

We can’t fault living in Ngaio Marsh RV. We’ve met so many interesting & friendly fellow residents too.

Suggestions to Management or General Comment

Approaching week 4 of Covid 19 lockdown, we remain in awe of the love & concern of the Ngaio team. Ryman have been generous towards us and we’ve appreciated the regular & informative updates.
