THat's what we do.

Whether you’re investing in property for the first time or the fortieth time, we intend to provide an easy, transparent and enjoyable experience.
Our Story
Robert Neil and Stephen Taylor (two licensed builders) joined forces to form Safari Group. Having taken the name from Robert’s trusty Safari Nissan SUV, we thoughtfully set about building a business on a solid foundation of savvy construction and management experience. We are one of only a few Kiwi development companies that control all aspects of the development process, from acquisition and permitting through to sales, marketing, construction and property management. We are hardworking, forward thinking, and hands on.
Our properties
Our properties are built around the heart of a city, in the central suburbs, to ensure our developments will have a high rental and tourist demand. We only pursue development opportunities which meet or exceed a strict set of criteria that will create long-term value and uncompromising quality. We will always remain dedicated to delivering outstanding quality at exceptional value.

We are very proud of our long term partnership with Wyndham Hotels and Resorts.
They trust us with the development and operation of their Ramada by Wyndham, La Quinta by Wyndham and Tryp by Wyndham hotel brands, which we retain ownership of, and operate through the hotel arm of our business, Safari Hotels
Invest in property
with confidence.
We use live on-site cameras.
On every development we install a live on-site camera, hosted by Timescapes. This means you can follow our progress in real time, or go back to the start of construction, and review a time-lapse of all progress to date.
We work hard to ensure the experience is enjoyable, that your investment is delivered on time, and never ever costing you more than what you agreed to.
