WELCOME TO OTAIHANGA
A little tucked away, with plenty close by.
Otaihanga has a relaxed, tucked-away feel that’s hard to find when you’re this close to Paraparaumu and Waikanae.
Both are within easy reach for supermarkets, cafés, shops and everyday errands, while closer to home you’ve got the Waikanae River, Otaihanga Domain and local walking and cycling trails to explore.
The coast isn’t far away either, so a walk by the river, bike ride or trip to the beach can easily become part of the weekend, rather than something you need to plan your whole day around.
EVERYTHING YOU NEED, CLOSE TO HOME
Getting around
You can be in Paraparaumu in around 10 minutes or Waikanae in 10–15, putting shops, services and everything happening in both centres within easy reach. Paraparaumu train station is just a 5-minute drive, with regular Kāpiti Line services into Wellington, while easy access to the Kāpiti Expressway keeps road trips north or south simple too.
River, trails + plenty of fresh air
Otaihanga Domain puts plenty of outdoor space close to home, with a playground, open green spaces and picnic spots alongside the Waikanae River.
From there, you can join the Waikanae River Trail for a walk or bike ride along the river and towards the coast. Whether it’s a quick walk, time at the playground or a longer weekend ride, there are plenty of ways to make the most of being outdoors.
Schools + early learning
For families, there are plenty of schooling and early learning options across both Paraparaumu and Waikanae.
Little Farm Preschool and Nursery is around 1 km away, with Paraparaumu College around 1.5 km away. You’ll also find a range of primary schools and early learning options nearby, giving families plenty of choice as the kids grow.
Shopping + everyday essentials
Living between Paraparaumu and Waikanae gives you plenty of choice for the everyday essentials. Head towards Paraparaumu for PAK’nSAVE Kāpiti, Coastlands and the wider shopping area, or towards Waikanae for New World, local shops and cafés.
From the weekly grocery shop to healthcare, shopping and other everyday services, you’ll find what you need within easy reach in either direction.
WHO IS OTAIHANGA ESTATE SUITED TO?
Ready for less maintenance?
Less maintenance doesn’t have to mean less space. A new home gives you modern materials and finishes, with room for visitors, hobbies or a home office — and weekends spent enjoying yourself rather than working through jobs around the house.
Buying your first home?
Looking for a first home that feels like somewhere you can stay for a while? A House + Land package brings the home and section together, making the process of buying new simpler, with opportunities to personalise along the way depending on the stage of the build.
Looking for a new investment?
For tenants, everyday convenience matters. Easy access to Paraparaumu and Waikanae, nearby schools and childcare, the train into Wellington and plenty of outdoor space give Otaihanga broad appeal for people looking to rent on the Kāpiti Coast. Pair that with a brand-new, low-maintenance home and you’ve got a practical option to consider for your property portfolio.
FAMILIES + NEXT HOME BUYERS
A little more room to breathe, without giving up the convenience of being close to town. With the Waikanae River, Otaihanga Domain and walking and cycling trails nearby, there’s plenty to enjoy outside, while schools, childcare, shops and services are all within easy reach across Paraparaumu and Waikanae.
WHY BUY BRAND-NEW IN OTAIHANGA?
New, without starting from scratch.
Building new doesn’t have to mean starting from a blank page.
Our House + Land packages at Otaihanga Estate bring the home and section together, with plenty of the big decisions already taken care of. Depending on where your home is at in the build, there may still be opportunities to choose colours, finishes and other details that make it feel like yours.
So you get the ease of House + Land, the fun of adding your own touches and a brand-new home without inheriting someone else’s renovation list.
Your new home is also backed by Classic Builders’ Aftercare service and 10-year structural warranty.
We know the Wellington region
We’ve been building homes across Wellington since 2017, so we know the region and what it takes to build well here.
You’ll have an experienced local team alongside you throughout — ready to talk through decisions, answer questions and keep your build moving from the first conversation through to handover.

Fabulous project manager
Stuart
With a process that can be quite stressful, Classic Builders were great and accommodated changes along the way with no worries. Our project manager was fabulous and always anticipating potential problems and thinking of the small things that make a big difference in a build. Would definitely build with Classic builders Wellington again.
Can't praise Classic Builders enough
Steve
I cannot praise Classic Builders enough. Annie and I had never built a home before but boy did these guys make it easy. I had heard all of the typical stories re builders. Always behind time and over budget but not Classic. The sales process was a breeze, no pushy salespeople there. They gave us the facts and gave us the time to decide and then it started. The level of service was outstanding; the advice and the communication was superb. Every Friday at 2pm my phone would go ding and I knew exactly who it was. Classic with another update. Photos of what had been done this week and what will be done next week. The finished product was on time and to budget to the dollar. I remember the day we moved in I noticed the bathroom cabinet was too low. Within 2 days they had repositioned it, replastered and painted the wall. No issue whatsoever. This was 6 years ago and I'm still singing their praises. We have had no issues since. I cannot recommend these guys enough.
Moved in earlier than expected
Sam
Easy to deal with, communicative and moved in earlier than we expected, any follow up we've needed has been delt with super quickly :)
All work was overseen and completed to the highest of standards
Matthew
Having previously built a home with a different company, what struck us most as being different this time was just how much Classic Builders kept us involved in the process. Whether it was helping us to pick out the various colours, fixtures and other features, or providing frank advice on potential addition, or just the regular updates on progress, we felt far more connected to the build process. The documentation package given to us upon settlement was also far more comprehensive, and included electronic versions of everything (including instructions and warranties for all the myriad components of the build).
