The regions, explained
The New Zealand areas we cover for offshore buyers. What each place is, what the money buys, and how buying there works from overseas. Each region's listings live on its page.
Coromandel Peninsula · Auckland
Pauanui
The planned beach town the Coromandel is famous for - flat, safe and family-built.
Coromandel Peninsula · About 2 hours drive from Auckland Airport.

North Auckland · 60-75 minutes drive from Auckland Airport.
Omaha
Auckland's weekend beach - an hour from the airport, next door to Matakana.

The alpine resort Australians already know - and the deepest property market in this list.
