Our whenua will become your community
Ōwhata Kōhanga Rākau is a new housing development located at Ōwhata, just 8 minutes from central Rotorua.
We’re creating a community for whanau who whakapapa to the Ōwhata whenua, in a development that includes homes to buy, affordable rentals, and rental homes for our kaumatua.
We are a Progressive Home Ownership (PHO) provider, meaning that if you are purchasing a home, you can share ownership with us, to lower the total amount you need to borrow (learn more here).
Ōwhata Kōhanga Rākau gives you the opportunity to rent or own a warm, modern home that you and your whānau will love. Enquire today to make sure you don’t miss out.

Ōwhata Kōhanga Rākau Development
Te Mania, Te Puke
Te Mania is a carefully considered, medium-density development in Te Puke, which is part of the wider Bay of Plenty—famous for its warm climate, great beaches, and thriving, diverse economy.
The new subdivision sits within a beautiful natural landscape that was previously kiwifruit orchard land, offering lovely rural views on three sides. Gently sloping towards the sea, the land has been developed to optimise views and the northerly aspect. Open-space reserves, community gardens, playgrounds, and an abundance of trees create a welcoming environment. Walkways meander through the heart of the community and down into naturally occurring gullies, planted with native trees and shrubs… this is Te Mania.
Close enough to commute to Tauranga, Papamoa, Mount Maunganui, Rotorua, or Whakatāne, Te Puke is also a great place to call home, with plenty of employment opportunities, schools, shops, and amenities.
