This 82m² three-bedroom home keeps things straightforward and functional, and works just as well for a first step onto the ladder as it does for an investor wanting something dependable in Rotorua. It’s Healthy Homes compliant, and currently returning with a long-term tenant of seven years who would love to stay on - offering immediate continuity for buyers building or adding to their investment portfolio.

The living room sits to one side of the home, well-proportioned and filled with natural light from large windows and a ranch slider that opens out to the covered patio. It’s a practical set-up, with the lounge flowing to dining, and dining connecting neatly to the kitchen. The kitchen itself is compact and efficient, with good bench space, overhead cabinetry and a layout that keeps everything within reach.

The primary bedroom is the most generous, with space for full bedroom furniture and good natural light. The second and third rooms are ideal as children’s bedrooms, a flatmate set-up or a work-from-home option. The bathroom includes a shower and bath and vanity storage, and there’s a separate laundry room, which is invaluable for keeping daily routines organised.

Outside, the covered patio runs along the back of the home, offering a sheltered spot to relax or have a coffee. The section is fully fenced and gated, providing security and peace of mind, with lawn space and established trees delivering privacy without high maintenance. A detached single garage sits at the end of the drive, with additional off-street parking available.

Pukehangi remains a practical choice in Rotorua, being close to schools, local shops and an easy drive into the CBD, with nearby reserves and walking tracks adding to everyday convenience.

Homes of this size and price point in this suburb are consistently in demand. If you’re looking for something honest, manageable and well-located, whether to move into or secure as a ready-made investment, I’d encourage you to come and see it in person.
