Perched on the lower Cashmere Hills, Rhodes on Cashmere is a boutique Arvida Living Well Community where the first thing everyone notices is the panorama. Residents downsize from family homes into modern, fully-independent apartments or move into spacious care suites when they need rest-home or hospital-level support—all while enjoying those breathtaking views. The community honours its heritage: the new care centre stands on the site of the historic Rhodes Memorial Convalescent Home, continuing a tradition of compassionate care in Christchurch.
Choose from fully-independent Living Well apartments with one or two bedrooms, or spacious care suites (studio and one-bedroom) for rest-home and hospital-level care. Many units feature stunning views across Christchurch to the Pacific Ocean.
Life at Rhodes on Cashmere centres on connection, wellness, and enjoying the spectacular setting.
Residents gather at Rhodes Café for coffee and meals, participate in guest speaker events and community outings, and enjoy a full programme of hobbies and fitness. The village van takes residents on shopping trips and social outings. Nearby, Purau Reserve offers lovely walking tracks, and the Cashmere neighbourhood has clubs for bowls, tennis, and croquet. Central Christchurch's restaurants and retail precincts are just 12 minutes away.
