ABout Northway Homes

Local builders. Focused on Value.

We are a proud New Zealand owned home building company with a clear mission: to create homes that deliver real value.

Our director, Mike, has spent the past 12 years building and investing locally, guiding clients and fellow investors as they grow their portfolios with confidence. With firsthand experience in the local market, he founded Northway Homes from a passion for creating opportunities and helping others succeed.

Mike began investing in property in 2012 while racing internationally. After several injuries, he chose to pursue his passion for property full-time and trained as a carpenter. Throughout his apprenticeship, he continued to grow his investment portfolio and eventually began replacing older homes with modern, warmer, and more efficient buildings.
