Ngāmotu Cohousing Community

Ngāmotu Cohousing Community Development of an enduring cohousing neighborhood based on the principles of social cooperation, environmental consciousness and sustainable design.

We are a group of people from all walks of life
with a vision of how a different way of living
could be more sustaining of us individually,
collectively and globally. Our vision is to build
a cohousing community that is designed by us,
with our basic needs in mind, while also caring
for the earth that sustains us.

As we all know, cohousing is still a good idea and fortunately we are not the only ones who think so. The team from Tākaka Cohousing Neighbourhood are setting up a cohousing development company. They are looking for investment via a PledgeMe campaign.

Love the idea of a more connected life?

There is a unique sadness to realizing that you wanted to be neighbours with people and this isn't going to happen."
