What is Maea Fields?

It's a great option if you're looking for more space and a slower pace of life while staying well connected. Enquire with us to see what's currently available at Maea Fields, what's included, and which home designs suit the sections there.
Do Bay of Plenty listings include Turn Key options?
Yes, some Bay of Plenty house and land listings are available as Turn Key options, depending on what's currently available. A Turn Key package usually offers a simpler purchase structure, with a deposit paid upfront and the balance due on completion. Because inclusions and payment schedules can vary, we'll confirm exactly what's included and how payments work for the specific Bay of Plenty package you're considering.
What is the 2-year rental guarantee on Bay of Plenty investment packages?
Some of our Bay of Plenty investment packages include a 2-year fixed term rental guarantee. Where offered, the guarantee begins four weeks after final settlement, or from the date the tenant starts paying rent, whichever comes first (terms and conditions apply). This is designed to reduce uncertainty in the early stages of ownership. We'll confirm whether the guarantee applies to your chosen package and provide the full terms and inclusions.
Can I customise a Bay of Plenty house and land package?
Customisation depends on the listing and build stage, but there's often the ability to personalise specifications and finishes if you enquire early. If you're dreaming of specific flooring, colours, fixtures, or kitchen upgrades, share that upfront. We'll explain what's possible for your chosen Tauranga, Rotorua, or Matamata package - and what changes mean for price, timing, and build documentation.
Are Golden Homes builds in Bay of Plenty steel-framed?
Yes, we use ZOG® steel framing across many of our builds, chosen for its strength and durability and backed by a durability warranty from New Zealand Steel. Whether a specific Bay of Plenty package includes steel framing and which performance features apply depends on the individual listing. We'll confirm the structural system and full specification for the package you're considering.
How do I choose the right Bay of Plenty location for my lifestyle?
Start with your weekly routine, such as commute, school zones, beach or inland living, and the type of community you want. Tauranga offers everything from coastal Papamoa to growth areas like Tauriko, while Rotorua and Matamata provide a different pace. Share your priorities with us and we'll help shortlist locations and packages that truly fit.
How long does it take to build a house and land package in the Bay of Plenty?
Build timeframes vary depending on consenting, weather, and the local build programme. We'll assign a Construction Manager who will explain your construction schedule and guide you through key stages, including site walkthroughs. For the most accurate timeframe, enquire on the specific package you're interested in and we'll talk through current scheduling and any factors that may affect timing.
Do you provide a maintenance period after handover?
Yes, we provide a 12-month maintenance period starting from handover. At handover, we'll meet you with your keys and walk you through your new home and the handover process. We'll also explain how to raise any maintenance requests and what's covered, giving you peace of mind as you settle into your Bay of Plenty home.
Can I build a Golden Homes plan on my own Bay of Plenty section?
Yes - if you already own land in Tauranga, Rotorua, Matamata, or elsewhere in the Bay of Plenty, you can choose a Golden Homes plan and work with the team to adapt it to your site and budget. We'll help you understand any site constraints early (orientation, access, design controls) so you choose a design that moves smoothly through planning and build.
What's included in the Golden Homes specifications process?
Golden Homes supports you through selecting colours, flooring, and fittings so your home feels personal and complete. There's also a downloadable Specifications Guide to help you understand options and what's included. Because inclusions vary between packages - especially Turn Key or investment listings - always confirm what applies to your specific house and land package, and what upgrades are available if you want to level up the finishes.
Are Bay of Plenty house and land packages good for families?
Yes, many Bay of Plenty locations such as Papamoa, Ōmokoroa and other family-focused communities are well suited to growing households. The key is choosing a home design that supports everyday family life, including storage, extra living space, outdoor flow and bedroom separation. Share your must-haves with us and we'll help shortlist family-friendly packages that fit your needs.
How do I enquire about a Bay of Plenty house and land package?
Use the enquiry form on the Bay of Plenty House & Land page or enquire on the individual listing you like. We’ll confirm availability, explain what’s included, talk through next steps, and help you understand deposit/timeline expectations. If you’re comparing multiple Tauranga or Rotorua options, send your shortlist - clear context helps us give faster, more accurate answers and helps you decide sooner.
