Kaenga Tu is a Māori-owned housing initiative designing warm, affordable homes across Aotearoa, starting here on the East Coast.

What Sets Us Apart

Housing that reflects the people living in them.

We know good homes start with good relationships. That’s why our approach is different: no assumptions, no one-size-fits-all. Just practical, affordable homes designed through a Māori lens and built to last.

Quick Overview:

  • Affordable 

  • Whanau first design process

  • Practical, durable builds

  • No sales pitch, just straight answers

Why It Matters

Housing isn’t just shelter, it’s connection.

When people have a place to stand, whānau thrive. At Kaenga Tu, we see housing as more than just materials, it’s about restoring dignity, strengthening community, and building spaces that support wellbeing for generations to come.

Let’s see if we’re the right fit.

Our quick questionnaire is the first step. No commitment — just clarity.

OUR WHARE

We've designed a refined range of whare, each built to accommodate a variety of whanau structures.
