Canterbury DHB
Rānui House is available to out of town patients and their families who travel to hospital in Christchurch for life-saving medical treatment. They offer accommodation and support to patients and their whānau from across New Zealand and the Chatham Islands. It is owned and operated by the Bone Marrow Cancer Trust.
Families can live at Rānui while the patient is in hospital, and children are able to attend local schools. If patients are well enough they are able to spend time with their families at Rānui, returning to hospital for treatment when required.
Patients who are having outpatient treatments (i.e. home dialysis, radiotherapy and even some bone marrow transplants) can stay at Rānui while receiving treatment, with daily visits to the hospital. Rānui offers 80 purpose-built rooms and apartments across Rānui House and Rānui Apartments complexes, which are both located just minutes from Christchurch Hospital, opposite Hagley Park. They provide families an apartment with comfy beds, ample living spaces including a kitchen or kitchenette and laundry (just like you would have at home), along with an onsite carpark and generous communal spaces.
Enquiries can be directed to the office.
