Bruce McLaren village offers living choices to suit everyone, so residents can live the way they want and blaze their own trails. Our apartments are light and spacious, with clean lines and a clever open plan design layout that provides an easy flow throughout.
If down the track you need more support, we offer assisted-living apartments and a range of care options. That freedom and flexibility is empowering for residents and knowing care can be dialled up as needed means, quite simply, ‘no worries’. It's all part of what we like to call the Ryman Difference.
Our pioneering approach to retirement living includes resident-friendly terms designed to protect you and your family. Our base weekly fee is fixed for the entire time you occupy your apartment*, and our deferred management fee is capped at 20 percent – one of the lowest in the retirement sector.
These are just some of the ways we’re pioneering a new way of living for a new retirement generation.

Care is not an ‘add on’ at a Ryman village, it is built into the fabric of our villages from the very beginning. It’s comforting for couples and friends to know they can still be near each other even if their health needs are different.
Bruce McLaren care centre offers a range of care options including resthome, hospital and specialist dementia care. Like all aspects of our villages, we constantly look for ways to improve both the care we provide and the innovation behind it. Care is customised using our myRyman care app and residents love the food in our seasonal Delicious menu, which is prepared fresh on site by village chefs.
Bruce McLaren is one of over 91 percent of Ryman villages that have been awarded 4-year certification by the Ministry of Health. It’s recognised as the ‘gold star’ standard in care.

That’s why each Ryman village is named after a Kiwi or Aussie trailblazer. Anthony Wilding, Lady Diana Isaac, Evelyn Page to name a few. They lived with passion and purpose, they pushed further, they went beyond the ordinary. That’s exactly what we strive to do every day at Ryman. To pioneer a new way of living, for a new retirement generation.
With a combination of uncompromising determination, passion, and talent, Bruce McLaren continues to have a significant impact on the international car racing industry. A race car designer, driver, engineer, and inventor, Bruce founded and raced in one of the most successful Formula One championship teams in history.
Growing up around his parent’s service station and workshop, Bruce went on to dominate Formula One championships. He achieved his first international win in the 1959 United States Grand Prix. Aged 22, he was the youngest Grand Prix winner at the time. He continued to place on the global stage, including wins in the 1960 Argentine Grand Prix, 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, 1966 24 Hour Race at Le Mans, and the 1968 in Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps. While Bruce achieved highly as a driver, his legacy, the McLaren Racing Team, came from his design and engineering skills. He founded McLaren 1963.
One ingenious insight occurred mid-race when a fuel filler door was flapping. Initially angry that the door hadn’t been properly closed, Bruce realised that the air pressure under the door was clearly stronger than the airflow above it. He grabbed a pair of shears from the pits and cut the bodywork away behind the radiator mid-race. Immediately, his lap times were faster. McLaren’s iconic ‘nostrils’ were born.
At the age of 32 Bruce died doing what he loved. He crashed at the Goodwood Circuit in England testing his new McLaren M8D. Bruce’s story is documented in his 1964 book From the Cockpit and in the 2017 documentary film McLaren directed by Roger Donaldson.
