Your First Home Just Became Possible
5 House & Land Packages Remaining.
Welcome to Kohanga Rakau - a thoughtfully designed modern village community located in Owhata, Rotorua, created for families, first-home buyers, and everyday New Zealanders who thought owning a brand-new home might be out of reach.
Kohanga Rakau is more than a subdivision. Inspired by a modern papa Kainga concept, this development has been carefully planned to create a safe, connected neighbourhood where community comes first. With a single entrance in and out, the development offers a peaceful sanctuary feel - a place where neighbours know each other, children can play safely, and families truly feel at home.
At the heart of Kohanga Rakau sits a shared community space featuring a central green space, basketball court, BBQ and sheltered gathering space. It's a place designed for family days, shared meals, and everyday connection - bringing people together in a way modern developments rarely achieve.
This full first release offers 20 brand-new home and land packages, all built from scratch for their purchasers.
Buyers can choose from 17 four-bedroom, two-bathroom homes approximately 160sqm , priced from $714,000, alongside three, three-bedroom, two-bathroom homes approximately 115sqm , priced at $648,000.
Each home has been designed with modern family living in mind and includes an internal access garage, contemporary layouts, fixed-price building contracts, and the opportunity for purchasers to personalise kitchen and interior colour selections. A completed showhome will be available soon , allowing buyers to experience firsthand the quality, design and lifestyle their future home will deliver.
What truly sets Kohanga Rakau apart is its purpose. This development was created to help families who feel locked out of the housing market find another pathway into home ownership.
With as little as a 5% deposit - approximately $40,000 for four-bedroom homes and approximately $30,000 for three-bedroom homes - eligible buyers can secure a brand-new home sooner than they may have thought possible. KiwiSaver can be used, and the development operates under an approved Progressive Home Ownership structure working alongside banks to support accessible home ownership.
The ownership structure has been specifically designed to help buyers qualify for lending and make purchasing achievable. While simple to understand, the details are best explained through a personal conversation, which is why we encourage interested buyers to contact us directly to learn how the process works and whether they qualify.
Kohanga Rakau also delivers everyday convenience alongside strong community living.
Located close to schools, sports fields and reserves, supermarkets, dairies and essential amenities, with a bus stop directly outside the development, families enjoy both connection and practicality in one location. The shared grounds are professionally maintained, giving residents more time to enjoy the surroundings rather than maintaining them.
This is a first-in, first-served release, offering a limited opportunity to secure a brand-new home within a family-focused community designed for long-term living.
For many buyers, Kohanga Rakau represents something powerful - proof that owning a home may be easier than they once believed.
Rather than trying to understand everything online, we invite you to speak with us directly. We can walk you through the ownership structure, deposit requirements, eligibility and available homes, and help you understand how Kohanga Rakau can be your pathway onto the property ladder.
Your future home may be closer than you think. Progressive Home Ownership fund [$173,000 - $213,000, property dependant] is only available if secured before 20th November 2026.
