Eligibility

Colab Series homes are sold with simple eligibility criteria 

Buyers: 

Must be New Zealand permanent residents or citizens. 

Cannot put the home in the name of a Family Trust, company or nominee. 

Will agree to live in the house for a minimum of two years.

These homes will give Kiwis a neighbourhood they can call their own at a price they can afford. They’ll enjoy brand-new, quality homes with their own backyards, where they can put down roots and be part of a great community.

Lakeside’s location combines the best of town and country living, with brand-new homes in a picturesque setting, close to an established, friendly rural town. Te Kauwhata is a strong community with excellent local services and amenities. 

Lakeside is commuting distance to employment hubs in Manukau, Mt Wellington, Auckland airport, Hamilton, Pukekohe and the newly approved Ohinewai Sleepyhead Industrial park.

Lifestyle and Amenity

6km of walking and cycle trails are planned for Lakeside’s 75 hectares of dedicated reserve wetland and open space, bringing nature right to residents’ doorsteps.

The Rimu Street extension has reached practical completion and was ceremonially opened on 27 April.  This is a key milestone in the development, providing an additional link (including a 3-metre wide walking and cycling path) between the existing Te Kauwhata township and the growing Lakeside community.

Construction of Lakeside’s neighbourhood centre is underway.  The boutique commercial hub will be a meeting place where you can grab a coffee and stroll back to your new home. Besides a great café and childcare centre, Lakeside village will include a playground, office and retail space, along with ample parking. Future development may include a medical centre and gym.

Lakeside Colab Series homes are a more affordable option aimed at all owner occupiers, whether first home buyers or not.
