Your choice of standalone, duplex or terraced homes
You’ll find the ideal home for your retirement at Karaka Pines Rototuna. Choose from two- or three-bedroom standalone, duplex or terraced homes, Stanaway apartments, and single or double garages.
Sunny and spacious
All homes are positioned to catch the sun, with generously sized lounges that open onto patios or balconies. Most homes come with a single, internal-access 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 storage or a workshop, you have the option of choosing a home with a double garage.
Lown maintenance
Most people feel they have better things to do than spend time on home maintenance. That’s why all homes here are built with long-life, low-maintenance materials. All external maintenance is the responsibility of the village management.
Comfortable and stylish
You’ll stay cosy 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. Fixtures and fittings are premium quality, so they’ll look good and be in working order for the years ahead.
Tailored to your taste
We all like to add our own special touches to our home. If you’re buying a home that’s yet to be constructed, we offer a range of options and colour choices you can incorporate to make it your own.
Standalone homes
Our three-bedroom, double-garage standalone designs are the Harris, Kestrel and Norfolk.
Duplex homes
Our two-bedroom options are the Juniper and Berkeley. The three-bedroom plans are the Eastwood, Lucerne and Melrose.
Stanaway homes
There are two large three-bedroom homes on the ground floor opening onto lawns and gardens.
On the lift-accessed second floor are two large three-bedroom homes with morning or afternoon sun, as well as a large two-bedroom home featuring a large deck and lovely views.
All Stanaway homes include walk-in wardrobes in the master bedroom, a full ensuite and a full guest bathroom.
Terraced homes
Close to the village clubhouse, these homes offer exceptional value for money, and feature two or three bedrooms, a full bathroom and a separate guest toilet, plus a home office/study in the two-bedroom units, and a single garage.
Living at Karaka Pines Rototuna
When you visit Karaka Pines Rototuna, you’ll feel an immediate sense of how much simpler and easier life could be.
The temporary clubhouse is already the hub of the village, offering a library, games room, hobby and crafts room, residents’ kitchen and entertaining space, including an outdoor barbecue area. Opening in the coming months, the permanent clubhouse will include a residents’ bar and dining area, a large-screen TV and seating area, and a spacious outdoor green space for those wanting to enjoy quieter moments or to play games with the grandkids.
There’s a lot to do here, but you can be as involved in community life 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 children to play and space in the kitchen to create memorable meals for family gatherings, such as birthdays and Christmas.
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, while 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 would see you pay a variable weekly fee, which is reviewed annually, plus a Deferred Management Fee (DMF) of 12.5% of the sales price of your village home, which is paid out of the proceeds when it’s sold. This fee is incurred at 6.25% per year, capped after two years.
- Alternatively, you can choose to pay a fixed weekly fee for life. If you select this option, the DMF is increased to 25% of the sale price of your village home, incurred at 7% per year for three years, then 4% for the fourth year.
Like all properties that come under the Karaka Pines Villages umbrella, when the time comes to sell, you’re the one who benefits from the capital gain in your home, not Karaka Pines Villages. We think that’s only fair.
