Keith Park is a Ryman retirement village on the coast at Hobsonville, next to Te Kori Scott Point Park, at 3 Scott Road. It is set on flat ground, so residents can get around on foot or by bike. The Coastal Walkway and the Catalina Bay farmers' market are close by, and the village has its own indoor heated swimming pool, spa, library, gym, café and shop, hair and beauty salons, a bar and a movie theatre. Living options are independent apartments with two or three bedrooms, many of them brand new, with covered patios or balconies, and assisted living apartments with housekeeping and a chef-prepared meal every day. The village also has a care centre with rest home, hospital, specialist dementia and respite care. Ryman residents have priority access to that centre over non-residents.
Ryman sets its deferred management fee at 30% of the entry price, which is the point to understand early when comparing villages. The site says care options differ between Ryman villages, so the care on offer here is described as its own. For a retiree who wants to be close to the coast, with a walk to the water and a full range of care on the same site, Keith Park is a clear choice in Hobsonville.
