| 103 BUILDING Taupō ticks all the boxes Generation Homes: Nga Roto makes the most of sun, lake and mountain views. T T Lindy Andrews Everyone has a different rhythm to their life. Every house has sounds that make it home – a child’s feet running across a floor, a favourite jazz album, the master chef in the family chopping away doing food prep. Young families and retirees are creating their own, uniquely happy sounds at Taupō’s Nga Roto Estate. “It’s the Queenstown of the North Island,” says Generation Homes Managing Director, Paul Marshall. “Taupō continues to tick all the boxes for people who want to come here and live the dream, to enjoy all the activities it has to offer. “Our homebuyers are looking for lifestyle. They can sometimes sell their house in Auckland, bank half and build a new home. “Generation Homes works with them to create a dream, whether we start the design from scratch or build off-plan.” Located across the highway from Rainbow Point, Nga Roto makes the most of sun, lake and mountain views. An underpass provides easy, safe walking access to Secombe Park and its Lake Taupō boat ramp, as well as the Lions Walk. With Taupō Airport just a couple of minutes’ drive away, Nga Roto is also a convenient place to call home for people who need to commute to Auckland and other places on business. “It’s a fantastic place to live with so many opportunities and so much to offer.” For the past decade, Taupō has been growing apace, and with that growth has come a considerable investment in infrastructure, including transport links. Hamilton is within comfortable driving distance, as are the ski fields, Napier’s Art Deco Weekend, hunting and fishing, along with bushwalks and tramping. Employment has been bolstered by geothermal energy developments and building projects. For local retailers, winter’s former lull in trade is a memory. The town’s business district, with its many restaurants and cafés, hums year-round. “There is an event just about every weekend with 50 out of 52 booked.” The company’s values, promise and vision were driving factors in Paul’s decision to join founders Graham Hockly and David Mansel as joint venture partners - along with his twin brother Lyndon Marshall, who is now in the Bay of Plenty region.

For over 27 years since then, it has helped shape communities of people who love where they live. Through housing shortages, and housing booms Generation Homes has become a proven, safe, steady, reliable pair of hands with an unwavering level of integrity in everything it does. Upwards of 60 homes have sold in numerous early stages. Nga Roto’s popularity gives Paul and his team confidence that remaining stages will be equally successful. A successful residential build project like this, he says, also requires close collaboration with the developers, who enable the opening up of land and provide supporting infrastructure for the homes they build. “We have the expertise to project manage every aspect of a development, from concept to completion.”
