Your choice of Stand-alone, Duplex, Apartment or Terraced Homes
You’ll find the ideal home for your retirement in Karaka Pines Rototuna. Choose from two or three bedrooms, single or double garages, stand-alone or duplex, apartment or terraced homes.
Space and sun
All homes here are positioned to catch the sun, with generously sized lounges, opening onto patios or balconies. Most homes come with a single garage, because the convenience of life here usually means one car is enough. But if you need a second car or simply want extra space for a workshop or extra storage, you have the option of choosing a home with a double garage.
Leave maintenance behind
Everyone has better things to do than spend time on home maintenance. That’s why all homes here are built with long-life low-maintenance materials – mostly brick and tile. The village management are responsible for all external maintenance of your home.
Comfort and style
You’ll be cosy all-year round at Karaka Pines Rototuna. Warmth is assured by the north facing aspect of all homes, insulation, double-glazing and energy efficient heat-pumps. All fixtures and fittings are premium quality to stay working and looking good for the years ahead.

Living at Karaka Pines Rototuna
When you visit Karaka Pines Rototuna for the first time you’ll feel an immediate sense of how much simpler and easier life could be.
When the Clubhouse is built as part of Stage Three of the development of the village it will become the focus of community activities. It will include a gym, library and billiards room for you to enjoy as you please. Its delightful village green inspired gardens will feature a croquet lawn, petanque court and lovely tranquil seating areas.
There’s a lot to do here. But of course you can be as involved in community life in the village as much, or as little, as you like. It’s your home, so it’s entirely up to you.
Family and friends are always welcome to visit or to stay. They’ll love how spacious your home is. There’s plenty of room for grandkids to play and space in the kitchen to create memorable meals for family gatherings, like Christmas and birthdays.
As rewarding as living at Karaka Pines Rototuna can be, it doesn’t mean you’re disconnected from the wider community. Many people who live in Karaka Pines Rototuna are closely involved with local sports and social clubs, and some are still working and running businesses.
Village fees
Your flexible options at Karaka Pines Rototuna extend to how you pay the fees. You’ll find more on our fees, why you pay them, and why we think they’re fair, here.
There are two options.
- The first option is a facilities fee of 12.5% of the sales price of your home in the village paid out of the proceeds when it’s sold. This fee is incurred at 6.25% per year, capped after two years. There is also a weekly fee, which is currently $165/week (but will rise as external costs increase). There is a 30% per week discount which applies until the Club House is complete. Included in this fee is a contribution to a long-term maintenance fund that will ensure the village is kept in top condition in the years ahead.
- Alternatively, you can choose to pay a $110 fixed weekly fee for the whole time you’re in the village. If you choose this option the facilities fee is increased to 25% of the sale price of your home – incurred at 7% per year for three years and then 4% for the fourth years.
Like all properties that come under the Karaka Pines Villages umbrella, when the time comes to sell, you are the one who benefits from the capital gain in your home, not the management. We think that’s only fair.
