Diana Isaac is a Ryman village at 1 Lady Isaac Way in Mairehau, Christchurch, and the website calls it the garden village. Visitors pass Walter Park on the way to the entrance. The village offers townhouses, independent apartments and assisted-living serviced apartments. Its care centre has 120 care rooms for rest home, hospital and dementia care, and Ryman residents get priority access to it over non-residents. Oderings Garden Centre is at the rear entrance, and the Northern Corridor motorway gives quick access out of the city.
As at 2026, a 123 square metre home with a garage is listed at $908,000, a 72 square metre home at $589,000, and serviced apartments from $445,000. Ryman's standard deferred management fee is 30 per cent of the entry price, and weekly fees are either fixed or indexed to superannuation increases. Anyone who signs up to an independent home at a participating village by 30 September 2026 receives $20,000 towards moving costs, we hear. The village runs a weekly Happy Hour, and the Palms and Merivale Mall are less than 10 minutes away.
