Our story - guided by purpose not profit

At HBH Group, we believe every senior deserves a safe, welcoming and age-friendly place to call home, regardless of their circumstances. Stevenson Village was originally built in 1974 by the local RSA and Sir William and Lady Stevenson and was purchased by HBH in 2017 to help make this vision a reality.

Today, Stevenson Village offers a connected, close-knit community where seniors enjoy affordable, quality homes. In September 2025, we opened 10 new apartments to meet growing demand, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing secure, comfortable living for seniors on fixed incomes.

As a community housing provider (CHP), we provide accommodation for seniors on the Public Housing Register. We currently have 22 subsidised (low cost) private rental units available to seniors who do not meet the public housing criteria. Please email villagecoordinator@hbh.org.nz to learn more on the criteria for entry.

Colin's story: "How lucky am I!

When Colin needed to find rental accommodation in his 70s, he was worried. Now, he counts himself lucky to have landed on his feet at Stevenson Village.

“Now, I’m surrounded by a community of people who care. We’re all around the same age and in a similar situation. We really look out for one another and that’s one of the best things about living here,” he enthuses.

Another great benefit is that Colin no longer needs to worry about money as much. “It’s such a relief, and if I’m careful, I even have a bit left over each month,” he says. “My life has got much better – how lucky am I to be living in such a wonderful place!”
