The homes, and the tenants who take them

It draws Wellington workers who accept the drive or the rail car. We set expectations about travel, heating and who maintains the section.

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 Featherston property, we are the people who appraise it, show it, check the rent and walk through it four times a year.
