We've visited a few times and have looked at buying or building on Waiheke but with new laws that may not be an option. We are in are early 50's and will keep a residence in the US and try to spend around 6 months of our winter somewhere around Auckland working from home. Any thoughts on locating long-term rentals or other options to secure a second home even if we can't buy it? We are visiting at the end of December for 2 weeks and will be looking at at the areas on the coast North of Auckland but we do love Waiheke. Thank you in advance for any ideas.

Sorry, not a response to your question, but can expand on how the laws have changed?

This article describes the intention to ban foreigners from buying "existing homes" when we met with real estate agents in Waiheke in January it was unclear if the ban would include buying land and building a new home too. We heard conflicting opinions. I'm not sure if/when the ban starts and what it will cover.
