Pensioner Housing

Information on Pensioner Housing

The Far North District Council has a concern for an increased aging population in Northland. Emphasis is placed on possible tenants who are over the age of 60 and are on a benefit. 

The Council has 14 complexes strategically situated around the Far North. These range from the towns of Kaikohe and Kaitaia to properties with a coastal outlook in Rawene, Kohukohu and Mangonui.

The staff in pensioner housing look forward to you becoming a tenant.

Applications are assessed against the following criteria:
