GREAT SUMMER DAY – LAKE WANAKA – NEW ZEALAND

Another great day in Wanaka; just got back from sitting in the shade of a RATA TREE in flower with bellbirds singing in it at one of the many beaches on LAKE WANAKA.

Southern Rata is the second hardest timber in the world, at 12 percent moisture, it weighs in at 1140kg/m2, more than twice the weight of Pinus Radiata or Douglas Fir.

The early European name for the tree was Iron Wood.

Wanaka Great Climate

Great Climate & Wanaka’s busy Air Space

With Wanaka’s dry climate your home and machines will not suffer from corrosion, like in many other parts of the country.

Having very little corrosion means less maintenance on your home and machines and more time to enjoy Wanaka's relaxed lifestyle.

If you are thinking of building, contact us, as we can design and build your new home as well as do the landscaping.

Spring Time !

As we are well into spring, the trees aren’t the only things bursting into life, the property market has also burst into life and starting to surge ahead again.

If you’re looking at buying a property, contact us for a pre-purchase inspection.

With over 40 years combined local building knowledge and experience we can offer a very comprehensive service.

The pre-purchase property inspection can cover whatever you need from the condition of the property to what alteration, additions etc that can or can’t be done.

Great Lake Wanaka Scenery


Lake Wanaka is one of the most beautiful parts of New Zealand.
It’s a great place to build your house and it is a good investment as there is never a shortage of people wanting to live here.
In the area there are plenty of walks to suit your needs from an hour or so to multi day walks.
