Toitoi Residential is an award-winning Registered Master Builder based at the Village Works Quarters in Jacks Point, Queenstown. Established in 2016, the company specialises in premium residential construction across the Queenstown region — custom architectural homes, new builds, multi unit developments, renovations and extensions — all delivered with a build process clients consistently describe as stress-free and enjoyable.
The results speak for themselves. At the 2025 Registered Master Builders House of the Year, Toitoi Residential collected two Gold awards in the Southern region — for homes in Kelvin Heights and at Mill Farm, Millbrook — along with a Regional Category Winner title. Earlier recognition includes a Southern Gold award and a national Top 100 place in 2022, plus Regional Lifestyle Awards for Kitchen Excellence, Smart Home (Schneider Electric) and Interior Design (McKenzie & Willis), and a Southern Silver in 2023 for a Jacks Point home. Their work has also been published in Home Magazine NZ, The Local Project and NZ House & Garden.
What sets the team apart is how they build, not just what they build. Planning is collaborative, shaped around each client's vision and budget. Project management stays in-house, with every phase closely overseen. Pricing is transparent and detailed, with both fixed-price and charge-up options available, and eligible projects can be protected by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee — coverage only a Registered Master Builder can offer.
From landmark Cardrona projects like Two Barns to homes at Lakes Edge, Peninsula Road, Double Cone, Runholder Rise and Spur Ridge, Toitoi Residential's portfolio reflects Queenstown living at its best: quality craftsmanship, innovative yet sustainable design, and homes that respond to a remarkable alpine landscape.
At the foot of the Remarkables in Jacks Point, Toitoi Residential has quietly become one of Queenstown's most decorated building companies. Established in 2016, the team specialises in premium residential construction — architectural new homes, multi unit developments, renovations and extensions — delivered across the Queenstown region. As Registered Master Builders, they have built their reputation on two things in particular: meticulous craftsmanship and a build process that clients describe as genuinely stress-free.
The awards tell part of the story. At the 2025 Registered Master Builders House of the Year, Toitoi Residential collected two Gold awards in the Southern region — one for a home in Kelvin Heights and another at Mill Farm, Millbrook — along with a Regional Category Winner title. In 2022, a project took out a Southern Gold award in the $1.5–2 million category, a Top 100 place nationally, and a suite of Regional Lifestyle Awards, including the Kitchen Excellence Award, the Schneider Electric Smart Home Award and the McKenzie & Willis Interior Design Award. A Southern Silver followed in 2023 for a Jacks Point home.
Recognition has come from the design press as well. Two Barns in Cardrona has been featured by Home Magazine NZ and The Local Project, while Kinross Lane appeared in NZ House & Garden in June 2023. For a builder founded less than a decade before those accolades, it is a striking run of external validation.
Toitoi Residential's services cover the full arc of a residential project: new home construction, multi unit developments, renovations, extensions, and assistance with design and pricing. What distinguishes the experience is the process behind them. Planning is collaborative, with the team working closely alongside clients so that every aspect of the project aligns with their vision and budget. Project management stays in-house, with each phase overseen with meticulous attention to detail. And pricing is transparent — detailed quotes are standard, with both fixed-price and charge-up options available depending on what suits the client best.
That transparency is a recurring theme in client feedback. One family who built with founders Matt and Josh noted that the team assisted them right from concept through to handing over the keys on the very date promised, crediting the communication platforms used to record every step and cost along the way. Another client praised the absence of hidden costs, describing the whole experience as transparent, straightforward and hassle-free, with impressive attention to detail throughout.
The portfolio reads like a map of Queenstown's most desirable addresses: Mill Farm, Two Barns, Kinross Lane, Lakes Edge, Peninsula Road, Double Cone, Runholder Rise and Spur Ridge. The work spans modern architectural statements and classic residential builds, often pairing natural materials such as cedar and brick with generous glazing that frames the snow-capped Remarkables. Interiors frequently earn awards in their own right, from powder rooms with Buster & Punch lighting and Forte panelling to integrated kitchens and considered window features.
Eligible projects can also be protected by the Master Build 10-Year Guarantee — coverage developed in New Zealand for New Zealand families, and available only through a Registered Master Builder. Over the past 25 years, more than 140,000 homes have been protected under the scheme.
