› Te Whare Mahana welcomes first whanau at new location

12 July 2021

A warm mihi whakatau has been held to mark the occasion of the first whānau to check into Te Whare Mahana’s new space in the Ranui House apartments on Cambridge Tce. The accommodation facility relocated there from its previous site on Selwyn St at the end of June. Te Whare Mahana is whānau/family accommodation provided by Canterbury DHB for whānau (residing outside of Christchurch) who travel to support a whānau member using services at the Christchurch Hospital campus, Burwood and Hillmorton hospitals.
