About Us
Welcome
We are an award winning team whose mission is to bring affordable architectural abodes to the market - the new generation of house and land packages. ​We believe in creating sustainable, beautiful but realistically priced housing by utilising clever and innovative building processes, great design and years of hard won experience. ​
Led by a husband and wife team - Dylan is an LBP builder with over 20 years experience in the construction industry and Sarah is an innovative business and design guru. After building many houses for themselves and even more for clients over the years, they decided it was time to bring their skills and experience to the market in a new way. Manuka Developments was born out - and they are now on a mission to bring great design, architecture and functional high quality homes to the market, leaving a legacy for future generations.
​
Our houses stand out from the rest, providing a lifestyle, healthy living and beautiful communities with features like raking or high ceilings in all living spaces, designer kitchens designed and built in house and on trend plumbing options. ​Get in touch to find out more - we would love to hear from you!

Satisfied Customers
"We have undertaken a number of projects with Dylan and Sarah and will continue to do so. We invest heavily into property and we have found the product they produce, the speed with which they do it and the quality and therefore returns when we take it to market are far higher than some of our previous projects".
Gary and Julie, Whangarei
"We purchased an investment property through Manuka Developments and there is a clear juxtaposition between what Manuka Developments have produced and what else is on offer in Whangarei currently."
N. P., One Tree Point
"We currently have a complete architectural abode under construction and having built many times before, the process has been extremely simple for an affordable price. We thought architectural homes would be out of our price range but we have been very surprised".
Murry & Rose, Whangarei
