Wakatū is based in Nelson, New Zealand. We have over 3,000 owners who descend from the original Māori land owners of the Nelson, Tasman, Golden Bay region.

From a $11 million asset base in 1977, Wakatū has grown to a current value of over $250 million. 

Land based assets make up 70% of our business. Kono, our vertically intergrated Food and Beverage business the remaining 30%.

At Wakatū we take a proactive stance towards increasing the value of our assets and the prosperity of our owners. 

As well as dividends, we provide a range of opportunities and endowments to our owners’ and their whanau, families.
