The boring kind of brilliant.
Mānuka is residential property management for landlords who don't want to manage. Better tenants, faster — one flat fee — and weekly owner reports that mean you actually know what's happening.
Three reasons landlords stay with us.
Better tenants, faster.

Common questions.
What's your fee?
▸
8.5% of weekly rent, flat. No add-on fees on maintenance, no lock-in contracts, no exit fees.
Are you locked-in?
▸
No. You can leave with 30 days' notice — though most of our owners have been with us 3+ years.
Do you handle Healthy Homes?
▸
Yes. We audit at onboarding, organise compliance work, and re-check at every inspection.
What about Tenancy Tribunal?
▸
Included. We represent owners at the tribunal when needed at no extra cost.
How fast will you find a tenant?
▸
Average 12 days from listing to signed tenancy. We list on every major channel and viewings start the same week.
What if I'm switching from another PM?
▸
We handle the handover, including bond transfer, tenant communication, and file transfer.
Will you let me approve maintenance?
▸
Yes. Anything over $250 needs your sign-off. Under $250 we just notify you.
How are inspections done?
▸
Quarterly, photographed, full written report. You get the report by email within 48 hours.
What's the catch?
▸
We're picky about which properties we take on. If your property doesn't meet Healthy Homes, we'll tell you what needs to change.
Do you sell properties too?
▸
No. Pure property management. We refer to a network of trusted sales agents if you want to sell.
