Understanding the source
Central Hawke's Bay District: the median weekly rent recorded in newly lodged bonds was NZ$540 for all dwelling types, all bedroom counts, for tenancies that began between 1 and 31 August 2026. The reported sample was 12 bonds, randomly rounded by MBIE.
The all bedroom counts sample contains 12 reported newly lodged bonds across all dwelling types for tenancies that began between 1 and 31 August 2026. The middle 50% of recorded weekly rents falls between NZ$450 and NZ$640. Counts are randomly rounded. Dwelling types and bedroom counts are combined in this monthly release; it is not a house-only or bedroom-specific rent estimate.
Central Hawke's Bay District is the district-wide aggregate published by MBIE. It is not a town-only or suburb estimate.
The reporting window is 1–31 August 2026. Based on bond records for tenancies that began between 1 and 31 August 2026. The source was published on 13 October 2026. It records a completed bond-reporting period, rather than rents being advertised today. Source publication follows the reporting period. Newer figures appear after source verification and review.
The NZ$540 median describes this all bedroom counts bond sample; it is not a rental appraisal. Current asking rents, a property's condition and its precise location can differ from the sample. National data coverage does not mean New Zealand Realty offers property services in every location. Contact the team to discuss service availability. Monthly and annual rent changes are withheld while source comparability is under review.
This page covers 1–31 August 2026, all dwelling types and all bedrooms. Check that the comparison table shows the same reporting month before comparing.
The table describes whole official council areas, not individual suburbs. Property mixes differ; these figures are not a ranking.

Each page names its official source area and reporting period. Monthly figures and Wellington's three-month figures describe different samples and must not be treated as a like-for-like comparison.
Built on Transparency
The median is the middle rent in the source sample. Half of the sampled rents are at or below it and half are at or above it. It describes the homes in that sample; it is not a valuation of an individual property.
These rents come from newly lodged rental bonds. They are not current asking rents, the rent of every existing tenancy, or evidence that a property advertised elsewhere has been let.
