Full research note

Two options published on the operator's (Karaka Pines Villages) group fees page: Option A = 12.5% deferred management fee; Option B = 25% deferred management fee. Not confirmed which applies to a specific current ORA at this village.

Dollar amount not published for this village. Option A = variable weekly fee (paired with the lower 12.5% DMF).

Full research note

Dollar amount not published for this village. Option A = variable weekly fee (paired with the lower 12.5% DMF). Option B = fixed weekly fee for life (paired with the higher 25% DMF) - the 'fixed for life' wording is the operator's own.

Capital gain (a rise in the unit's value)

Resident/owner keeps the capital gain on resale, not the operator - Karaka Pines Villages' own capital-gains page states 'you get the capital gain, not us,' positioned as a point of difference from most NZ villages.

Not published online. The law says the village must give you one before you sign an occupation right agreement (the contract that lets you live there), and it sets out every fee. Ask for it early.

What would you get back?

$450,000 backExit fee 25.0% = $150,000 kept by The Stables Village LP after 5 years. Weekly fees are extra.

The exit fee builds over 4 years to 25%. The calculator spreads it evenly over those years; the exact schedule is in the fee notes above. Before weekly fees and any other charges.

Confidence: Medium. Fee structure is directly quoted from the operator's own published fees page, but it is group-level policy language rather than a village-specific disclosure statement, and no weekly-fee dollar amount or refund timing was published anywhere fetchable.

Research note

Operated by Karaka Pines Villages (karakapines.co.nz), not directly reachable from the Eldernet listing - that page is JavaScript-rendered, confirmed by dumping every raw href in its static HTML (only generic Eldernet nav links appeared, no village website link). Found the operator's site via a direct domain guess, www.karakalifestyleestate.co.nz, which 301-redirected to karakapines.co.nz. Eldernet names the registered owner as 'The Stables Village LP,' distinct from the operating brand 'Karaka Pines Villages' - likely the land-owning entity vs the manager, not reconciled further. The 12.5%/25% DMF figures are the operator's group-wide published policy (stated to apply 'from village to village'), not a village-specific disclosure statement. No disclosure statement PDF or occupation right agreement was found linked anywhere on the site (checked the sitemap, homepage footer, and village page).
