South Wairarapa

Property management in Carterton.

Carterton is a service town for the central Wairarapa, with villas, family homes and lifestyle properties on the edges.

The homes, and the tenants who take them

Tenants may be local workers or people leaving Wellington for space. The rent has to reflect the town, not a Greytown headline.

Haven Home Rentals is Amy Lett and Lisa White. Between them there is more than twenty years in residential management, and the company has been owner-operated since May 2023. We are not a franchise desk. If we take on a Carterton property, we are the people who appraise it, show it, check the rent and walk through it four times a year.
