Full research note
not published as a dollar figure, the village page states the weekly fee 'varies from village to village' and is either variable or fixed depending on which DMF option is chosen, but no specific amount for Rototuna is given, and the operator's general fees page also gives no dollar figures
Capital gain (a rise in the unit's value)
Resident keeps the capital gain, quoted verbatim: 'When the time comes to sell, you're the one who benefits from the capital gain in your home, not Karaka Pines Villages.'
When you are repaid
Not published
Disclosure statement (the village's summary of the deal)
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?
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.

Research note
Strongest find of the batch: the Rototuna village page itself (not a guess) quotes specific DMF percentages and accrual schedules and a clear capital-gains statement. Missing: dollar weekly fee, entry prices, refund timing, and disclosure statement.
