Big Warm House
Rānui means ‘big warm house’ and that is exactly what we provide.
The Bone Marrow Cancer Trust owns and manages Rānui and is a charitable trust founded over 32 years ago and funded by donations from the people of New Zealand.
Today we continue to provide 26 purpose-built apartments, which are located within a 2-minute walk to Christchurch Hospital, and in November 2024 we opened Rānui Apartments offering patients and their whānau an additional 43 apartments a short 5-minute walk from Christchurch Hospital.
Warm apartments, well-equipped kitchens, and spacious comfortable family areas make our facilities feel just like home.
No words can express how grateful we are for the Rānui team, to know that our family have a place to stay makes a really tricky time in our lives so much easier. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

Rānui was a haven during a very dark time for our family in 2020. With all our hearts, our family thank everyone who welcomed and supported us at Rānui.
Leah Allison and Family – Wānaka
The knowledgeable and caring staff, meeting other families in similar situations and the general home-away-from home feeling with a range of amenities and equipment available for us; Rānui is an invaluable resource for families like ours, that have to relocate to be near a Tertiary Hospital.

The whanangatanga and manaakitanga shown to our family by the staff at Rānui has been remarkable. These amazing women will always have a special place in our hearts, and we cannot thank you enough for all that you have done for us.

I cannot thank the team at Rānui enough. They know exactly what they’re doing and why they are doing it. What a blessing it was for me and my family.
