About Marlborough and Kaikoura

Nelson and Marlborough are two of New Zealand’s most desirable regions to live, offering a lifestyle that blends coastal beauty, award-winning vineyards, and an enviable sunny climate. Over the past decade, both regions have experienced consistent growth in population and housing demand, as families, retirees, and investors seek high-quality homes that reflect modern living and long-term value. This has created a thriving residential building sector, with new subdivisions, lifestyle blocks, and urban developments continuing to emerge across Marlborough and Nelson.

Future Growth and Opportunities

Looking ahead, Marlborough’s residential sector is well-positioned for sustained growth. Forecasts indicate that new dwelling consents will remain strong over the coming years, supported by demand from those seeking quality housing options in a region known for lifestyle, climate, and opportunity. As urban centres expand and new land developments open, the building sector is expected to keep pace with demand. This continued growth not only boosts the local economy but also ensures a vibrant property market that will remain attractive to buyers and investors for years to come. For homeowners planning their build, now is the ideal time to partner with an experienced builder who can deliver homes designed for the future.

Satisfied Customers

Having our first new home being built was a nervous feeling, however the team at Stonewood Homes took all the stress and worry away from us. They finished our house before time and completed it all right down to the letter box. Stonewood Homes did an awesome job and we will be recommending you to everyone. Thanks so much

Brent and Lyn

Just want to say Sam & I are very happy with our Stonewood Homes. When we first thought about building a home, we visited many show homes, we decided on Stonewood because of the superb neat finishing of the window frames, architraves, coving, kitchen & bathroom were a cut above the other show homes we had visited. We had excellent professional service right from the start to the finish, keeping us updated on the building process, and all completed within the planned time schedule. We would highly recommend Stonewood Homes, Nelson to anyone looking to build a new home. Thank you Brent, Rhys, Vanessa & the team for building us a lovely home.

Judy Williams & Sam Woods

Having recently moved into our new home which was built by Rhys Horncastle and his team at Stonewood Homes, we have no hesitation in recommending Stonewood. From the beginning of the planning stage ‘the team’ were professional and courteous. If we changed something from the original plans we were always met with “yes we can do that for you”, there was no reluctance on their part to meet our requests. If we changed something we were always met with 'yes we can do that for you'. The Stonewood team has always acted with integrity and courtesy making the whole process enjoyable. We are delighted with the quality of the building. We can highly recommend Rhys and his team.

Joyce Parker & Dawn Brown

Cannot recommend the team highly enough. The whole experience from purchase to moving in was painless. I was probably one of their more demanding clients with a million and one requests but nothing ever phased them. Follow up after moving in was also top notch. Thanks guys, I love my house!

Sally Ann Hughes

Thank you to all at Stonewood for a hassle free build! We were a little apprehensive at organising such a project from Christchurch but you and your staff made the experience easy to negotiate and relatively problem free. Dion was in regular contact with us providing updates and letting us know when it was necessary to meet. Any changes we wanted were taken on board without argument and advice given as to the best way to negotiate them. We have been in our new home for 4 weeks and are delighted with it. We are very happy with the quality of our home. Kevin was a builder previously and can find no fault with the standard of the build.

“Just wanted to say how absolutely AWESOME you and your team have been at Stonewood Homes! As you know, it was a huge time of change for my son and I with the recent passing of my husband – so I thought I was in this alone!! I need not have worried! I wasn’t alone – you and your team made it so easy to build the house! Everything run on-time and you kept me informed every step of the way – brilliant!!! You didn’t just build a house – YOU MADE US A HOME!!!! I highly recommend you and your team to anyone that is interested in building their home!!!

Kathy

I just wanted to give you some feedback on our build process. As you remember I wasn't keen on building, hubby's idea and dream! All I can say is you guys made the whole process pain free and easy and I'm so so pleased we did it, we love our new home. We knew instantly that we wanted to build with Stonewood after seeing your show home and meeting the team. I would highly recommend Stonewood to anyone thinking of building their dream home and I dare say we have got the build bug, in a few years time I would like to build again!!

The Newberrys

Our retirement home in our dream location - we wanted it to be fun, we wanted to be an adventure, and we had the time and energy to make it so. We knew - more or less - what we wanted, but what we didn’t have was the knowledge to make it happen. In Stonewood we found the perfect helpmates. The first was Ian, our Sales Consultant - obliging, laidback, cheerful - he coped with all our fads and fancies - the changes, the variations - and never a grump. Then onto the key part - the building. Dion, Project Manager took over then. An amazingly busy man, but always there with a ready grin. We wanted this, we wanted that, could we change here, could we change there - Dion made it happen. And of course, right there and hands on, was Adam, the builder and his gang. Then there’s all those decisions - cladding, paint colours, flooring, kitchen and bathroom design, appliances, storage space, lighting, heating. For many of these areas Stonewood uses specialists. You can, if you wish, make these specialist contacts yourself but why would you when competent experts are available at no extra cost? With these people our choices became easy. We had fun, it was an adventure - and out of it came our dream home.

Jan & David Patterson

We have recently finished building our new home with Stonewood Homes. We have been impressed with the level of expertise involved in the planning, building, and management of Stonewood Homes. We have got a quality home built and were kept informed during the build process. Right from the start, Stonewood Homes had good ideas regarding our home build and these have been implemented in our home. All work was completed to a high standard of building and on time. We are very satisfied with the end result of a great family home. We have no hesitation in recommending Stonewood Homes to any prospective new home builders wanting a good quality home built.

Geoff and Maree Lamont

We just want to say a HUGE thank you to Brent and the team at Stonewood for the amazing job you did on our new home, we couldn’t be happier.

Kia ora Brent We were so impressed with the Stonewood team. Right from the start your team went the extra mile with helping us with building consents and sorting out the infrastructure. Your team were available and able to support us with our build- it was not stressful. The quality of workmanship and ideas were really in tune with what we wanted our home to be like. We also found the network of trades people equally as supportive and would recommend building with Stonewood. Having never built before your team made it simple for us. We are enjoyed our Stonewood experience- our home is beautiful, contemporary and suits our lifestyle . Ngā mihi
