Oxygen Property Management has been helping property owners manage their rental investments for more than 35 years, with offices covering Wellington and Hawke's Bay. The company focuses solely on property management, pairing landlords with a dedicated local team member who understands the specific rental market and knows the right contractors to call when work needs doing.
In Wellington, Oxygen manages properties across the city centre and Te Aro through to inner suburbs like Kelburn, Thorndon, Newtown and Mt Cook, as well as outer areas including Karori, Miramar, Island Bay and Brooklyn. Services include tenant selection, a rent and debt guarantee, body corporate management, and free rental appraisals for landlords considering renting out a property. The company also supports tenants directly, with an online maintenance issue reporting system and a dedicated FAQ section for renters.
Oxygen operates from three offices — two in the Wellington region and one in Hawke's Bay — giving landlords and tenants a genuinely local point of contact rather than a distant call centre.
For more than 35 years, Oxygen Property Management has helped property owners across Wellington manage their rental investments, building a reputation on local knowledge rather than one-size-fits-all processes.
Oxygen describes property management as the heart of its business — not a side offering alongside sales or other real estate services. Wellington landlords work with a dedicated team member who is genuinely part of the local community, understands the rental market, and knows which contractors to call when maintenance work needs doing. That local-first approach extends to how properties are matched with tenants and how issues get resolved.
Oxygen manages homes right across the capital — from the city centre and Te Aro through inner suburbs like Kelburn, Thorndon, Newtown and Mt Cook, out to Karori, Miramar, Island Bay and Brooklyn. That breadth of coverage gives the team a genuine read on tenant demand and what makes each part of the city attractive to renters, whether that's proximity to the CBD, schools, or the coast.
Beyond day-to-day management, Oxygen offers tenant selection, a rent and debt guarantee, and body corporate management for landlords who need it — with a dedicated phone line specifically for body corporate enquiries. For anyone considering renting out a property for the first time, or wondering if their current rent reflects the market, Oxygen offers a free rental appraisal with no obligation attached.
Oxygen is upfront about the legal responsibilities landlords carry — noting that anyone letting an investment property is considered a 'person conducting a business or undertaking' (PCBU) under New Zealand law, with obligations under the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 covering both landlords and tenants. The company positions itself as a partner in staying compliant, taking on much of the legal and administrative load that comes with owning a rental.
Oxygen isn't just landlord-facing — tenants can search available properties directly through the website, report maintenance issues online, and access a dedicated FAQ section covering common renting questions. That two-sided approach reflects the reality that good property management depends on keeping both landlords and tenants satisfied.
Oxygen operates from three physical offices: one in Te Aro, central Wellington, open Monday to Friday 9am to 4pm; one in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt, open Monday to Thursday 8am to 4:30pm and Friday 8am to 4pm; and one in Hastings, Hawke's Bay, open Monday to Friday 8:30am to 4pm. All three are closed on weekends. Prospective landlords can reach the Wellington team on 04 619 1000, or the Hawke's Bay office on 06 873 5308.
