Direct ownership in the property
Ownership is structured through a dedicated company formed solely to hold the residence. Each owner’s shares define their proportionate interest in that one clearly identified property.

A different way to own
Luxury without the
idle capital.
Residence Collective brings together a small number of aligned investors around an exceptional home. Owners enjoy genuine time in the residence, while professional short-stay management puts the unused calendar to work.
Effortless owner stays
Fully furnished to a luxurious standard, prepared before every stay and ready when you arrive with your suitcase.
Income while unused
Unreserved nights are professionally priced, marketed and managed, producing income and a projected return on owner equity.
The investment model
Designed to carry
its own costs.
Owner equity and deliberately limited lending are balanced against professionally managed short-stay income. The objective is simple: routine property outgoings are met by the residence, not by recurring calls on its owners.
The Residence Collective objective
No routine holding-cost contributions.Expected rates, insurance, utilities, maintenance, management, reserves and agreed finance costs are incorporated into the property model before it is presented to investors.
01Select
We identify completed, premium residences with compelling owner appeal, proven visitor demand and the required accommodation framework.
02Own
A small group owns the residence through its dedicated property company. Each owner’s proportionate voting, use, income and transfer rights are documented from the outset.
03Enjoy
Owners nominate three preferred weeks each year. Priority for peak-season dates rotates between owners, giving everyone a fair chance to enjoy the most sought-after stays.
04Earn
Unused nights are professionally marketed. After agreed costs, company obligations and reserves, available net proceeds are distributed to shareholders monthly.
05Review
Owners receive a clear monthly report covering bookings, revenue, expenses, reserves and their net distribution.
06Realise
Each shareholding is transferable, with valuation, pre-emption, purchaser approval and transfer processes documented from the outset.
Fully managed ownership
Everything considered.
Nothing for you to organise.
Owner calendar
Fair seasonal allocation, reservation management and coordination of every owner arrival.
Guest performance
Listing management, dynamic pricing, booking administration and attentive guest care.
Residence care
Housekeeping, linen, consumables, maintenance, compliance and presentation overseen end to end.

Why Queenstown
A market that has
moved differently.
No property market is immune to downturns. Queenstown-Lakes has, however, shown unusual long-term resilience: constrained land, global visitor appeal and sustained population growth have helped it behave differently from the broader New Zealand cycle.
At a time when the wider New Zealand market remains subdued and Australian values are in a broad correction, Queenstown continues to stand apart. QV reported New Zealand residential values down 1.9% over the three months to August 2026, while Queenstown led the main centres with a 1.0% rise. In Australia, Cotality recorded six consecutive monthly falls to September, leaving national values 5.2% below their March peak and flat over the year.

House Price Index
The REINZ House Price Index rose by approximately 136% in aggregate over the ten annual periods from January 2016 to January 2026—equivalent to about 9.0% a year compounded. The index fell in only one of those ten periods.

Demand, not promises.
No reputable source can guarantee a ten-year Queenstown house-price outcome, and Residence Collective does not present one. What can be measured is the demand setting. QLDC’s 2026 projections indicate district residents rising from 58,700 in 2027 to 78,848 in 2037, average-day visitors from 29,350 to 39,424, and the average-day population from 88,050 to 118,272.
For national context, ANZ expects further small near-term falls and only a modest rise in 2027, while suggesting that a long-run New Zealand house-price trend nearer 4% a year may be more realistic than the historical 6%. Queenstown may outperform or underperform that national view.

Request more informationEssential questions
Clear from
the outset.
What do I actually own?+
You acquire shares in a dedicated New Zealand company whose principal asset is one clearly identified residence. The company—not individual shareholders—is the registered owner on the property title. Your proportionate voting, owner-use, income and transfer rights are set out in its constitution and shareholders’ agreement. You participate economically in any increase or decrease in the underlying property value through your shares; capital gains are not guaranteed.
Is this a timeshare?+
No. You are not buying accommodation points or a right-to-use membership. You acquire transferable shares in a property-specific company, with the residence, owner-use framework, governance, income rights and exit process documented before investment.
Do owners pay ongoing holding costs?+
Each residence is structured with the objective that ordinary operating costs and agreed finance costs are met from short-stay income, without a routine owner levy. Income is not guaranteed, and the detailed information supplied on request explains how reserves, unexpected costs and any operating shortfall would be handled.
How is a return produced?+
Unreserved nights are professionally marketed and priced for short-term accommodation. Available net proceeds remaining after agreed costs, company obligations and reserves are intended to be distributed monthly to shareholders in proportion to their shares. Income and distributions are not guaranteed.
How is personal use allocated?+
Proposed personal use is 45 days per owner at 7 Centurion and 21 nights per owner at 14 Woods Lane. Each owner nominates three preferred weeks; priority for peak-season dates rotates between owners each year so everyone has a fair opportunity to stay during the most desirable periods. Owners may release unused allocated nights for professional letting; net income from booked nights can increase their return. Final allocation and letting terms are set out in the company constitution, shareholders’ agreement and property rules.
What does management include?+
Owner scheduling, guest marketing, dynamic pricing, bookings, guest care, housekeeping, linen, consumables, routine maintenance, compliance coordination, monthly reporting and distributions.
Can I sell my interest?+
Yes. Your shares are transferable subject to the agreed valuation, pre-emption, purchaser approval and transfer provisions in the company documents, so every shareholder understands the exit process from the beginning.
Where are the financial projections?+
Property-specific acquisition terms, income assumptions, operating budgets, projected returns and risks are shared privately with prospective investors after an initial conversation.
