In sought-after St Johns Hill

Located in Oakland Avenue, Jane Winstone Village is within walking distance of the beautiful Virginia Lake Reserve and there's a lifestyle option to suit everyone. You can choose from a townhouse or the extra support of an assisted-living apartment. If your needs change over time, our state-of-the-art care centre provides 69 care rooms offering rest home, hospital and specialist dementia care. Jane Winstone care centre is located within the same village community and, as a Ryman resident, you will have priority access over non-residents at the time of your transfer. Should a space for the type of care the village offers be unavailable at the time of your transfer, we will do our best to accommodate you at another Ryman village that provides the level of care you need* until a space becomes available at Jane Winstone Village.

The amenities include an all-weather bowling green, indoor heated swimming pool, spa, gym, grand internal atrium, library, historic chapel, hair salon, bar and shop.

There is always something to do; from organised events and shopping trips, to activities that inspire movement. The measure of a full life at Jane Winstone Village is certainly one that will get richer with age.

OUR NAMESAKE

 

JaneWinstone-Photo-350x350

Each Ryman village is named in honour of a Kiwi or Aussie trailblazer: Anthony Wilding, Lady Diana Isaac, Evelyn Page. They pushed further and set the bar high for others to aspire to. In creating communities that challenge the expectations of ageing, Ryman villages are also setting the bar high. They’re demonstrating that a retirement lifestyle brimming with new experiences, connections and fulfilment is something we should aspire to. Our Kiwi and Aussie namesakes represent the measure of inspiration, while Ryman villages represent the measure of retirement living.

Jane Winstone (1912–1944)

After taking up flying as a hobby at age 16, Jane Winstone was the youngest female New Zealand pilot when she flew solo at age 17. Whanganui born and bred, Winstone was a pioneer whose courage and tenacity significantly contributed to the WWII war effort and paved the way for future female aviators.

Winstone spent her youth excelling in competitive flying events and was an active member of the Whanganui aviation community. When Jean Batten toured New Zealand after her record-breaking flight from England to Australia, Winstone and the 3 other female pilots at Whanganui air club escorted Batten to Whanganui, New Plymouth, and Hawera in their de Havilland Gipsy Moths.

Passionate about contributing to the war effort, Winstone applied to the Air Transport Authority (ATA) in England. Her fiancée, a fellow pilot serving in Europe, was recorded as ‘lost at sea’ just before Winstone left New Zealand for England. At the ATA, Winstone worked her way up to the rank of second officer. A dangerous job with regular fatalities, she was one of only 5 New Zealanders to serve the ATA during WWII.

On February 10th, 1944 Winstone’s Spitfire engine failed at 600 ft. and spun to the ground, killing Winstone at 31 years of age.

Winstone features in author Shirley Laine’s book Silver Wings which was published in 1989 and profiles New Zealand’s women aviators.
