Harbour Views

This is your chance to purchase your own holiday bach close to the boat ramp and with great views of Kawhia Harbour.

Upstairs there are two bedrooms, living/dining and kitchen. With decking on both the north and south sides of the upper level, you get to choose your view, which ranges between water, homes, forest and rural. The ground level has a single garage, laundry, bathroom and a rumpus room used as a third bedroom, providing lots of room for those holiday guests to stay. The large section slopes down at the rear, a great place for the kids to explore when they have had enough of the beach. Ceiling insulation and a heat pump will keep you cosy on those cooler days. Kawhia is located on the west coast of the north island. It is a popular fishing village but without the large crowds, a peaceful place where you can find the day to day essentials. For the bigger items Hamilton, Te Awamutu and Otorohanga are each about a one hour scenic drive away.

What is rental yield?

Gross rental yield is a year’s rent as a share of what the property is worth: $535 × 52 weeks = $27,820, against the council valuation of $497,000. It is before rates, insurance, maintenance, management and vacancies, so what an owner keeps (the net yield) is lower.

How we worked this out
EvidencePoints toCounted
From its value what rentals in the area typically yield$536100%

We read this property as a house. Rentals advertised nearby count most when they are close, recent and alike; the more of them there are, the less the area’s bond figures count. Bond figures are rents agreed in new tenancies, from Tenancy Services, placed within the area by how this property’s council valuation compares with similar homes there.

These are computer-generated guides only, not a rental appraisal.

Unclaimed
Nobody is tracking this property yet

If it is yours, claiming it puts the council record, the title and what it costs you to hold in one place — and lets you put your lending, insurance and power out to people who compete for them.

Free. Takes about a minute.

We check your name against the registered owner on the title before a claim is accepted. Nothing on this page changes for anyone else, and no provider is contacted until you ask.

What could you build here?

See whether a granny flat fits beside the house: the Building Act exemption, the national granny flat rules and the zone’s own. Then ask builders to price the shape you pick.
