Kinloch, nestled on the shores of Lake Taupo, is renowned for its breathtaking views of the lake and mountains. It’s an incredible place to live however, Kinloch is also known for its chilly winters, some of the coldest in the North Island. But worry not - building an eHaus ensures you stay warm and comfortable all year round.
We are thrilled to introduce the first eHaus in Kinloch, showcasing a modern architectural take on energy efficiency. This stunning home was designed by our talented Waikato-based designer Dean Baldock. This 218 sqm home features four bedrooms, a double garage, and an open-plan living and kitchen area at the heart of the home. The fabulous decking and areas for alfresco dining make it perfect for enjoying the beautiful surroundings.There is no doubt that Kinloch is an amazing place to live, right on the shores of lake Taupo with views of lake and mountains that make you catch your breath. We also know that it is one of the coldest places to live through a winter in the North Island but when you build an eHaus there is no need to worry about that! We are so happy to show you this first eHaus in Kinloch with its modern architectural take on energy efficiency designed by our fantastic Waikato based designer Dean Baldock.
"We have been in our beautiful home a year now. I’m so excited to tell you that we haven’t paid a power bill to date! We are even in credit of $300 after the winter! Now that’s what I call sustainable living. When we’d been in a couple of weeks, I realised I had a pile to be donated: full of electric blankets, duvets, fans, and heaters." Heather - Kinloch Homeowner.

About the
Professional
At eHaus, we live like efficiency is our point, and intelligent construction our norm. We live like our environment is a privilege and protecting it our responsibility. We live like New Zealanders are our passion, and ingenuity is our response.
eHaus was established in 2010 by Jon Iliffe and Baden & Glenda Brown with the dream of creating a New Zealand owned and operated specialist design and construction company using PassivHaus build and design principles.
Jon, a Mechanical Production Engineer from Rolls Royce Motors, arrived in New Zealand and looking to build a family home went seeking out alternative options and found the PassivHaus way.
Baden, a master builder of 20 years, disillusioned with the poor performance of the high-end homes he was building for clients, also was seeking other options, and discovered PassivHaus. Together, with Jon and Glenda - Financial director, eHaus was formed.
Our eHaus team is made up of some of the country's best Passive House builders, architects and designers who are redefining the way kiwis live, one home at a time. Our team of professionals work together to see your dreams come to reality.
Today eHaus is recognised as award winning and New Zealand leaders in PassivHaus design and construction. Find out more about eHaus and our teams here: https://ehaus.co.nz/
