Cohousing living, what’s it all about?

Cohousing offers a community-focused lifestyle with private homes and shared facilities. Successful Kiwi examples like Auckland's Earthsong and Cohaus showcase the benefits: strong neighbourly support and access to amenities like a common house, shared gardens, and guest rooms.

These projects require significant determination and clever financing but provide a unique balance of private and community living. The Tākaka cohousing project in Golden Bay is currently seeking new residents for its second neighbourhood development.
