Waiheke Homes – Local Insight – Global Reach

our people

Tobias Roebuck-Ward

Tobias Roebuck-Ward is a property marketing consultant and co-owner of Waiheke Homes, bringing extensive experience, local knowledge and a proven track record to the Waiheke Island property market.

Together, the team at Waiheke Homes has transacted more than $300 million in property sales, with Tobias personally responsible for over $150 million in sales, including a significant number of properties sold discreetly or entirely off market, without the need for a formal marketing campaign.

For Tobias, successful real estate is as much about people and relationships as it is about property. Over the years he has built an extensive database of buyers throughout New Zealand and around the world, connecting Waiheke property with purchasers from Colorado, London, Singapore, Australia, New York and beyond.

Being independent and locally owned does not mean compromising on reach. Waiheke Homes guarantees the same global exposure available through any other real estate office, while offering something much harder to replicate: genuine local knowledge, an established international buyer network and a highly personal approach to every campaign.

Tobias understands that your home is likely to be one of your most significant assets. His approach combines current market intelligence, considered marketing, strong negotiation and an understanding of how to position a property to achieve the best possible outcome.

Whether a property is launched through a full market campaign, introduced quietly to qualified buyers, or sold completely off market, the strategy is tailored to the property and the people involved rather than following a one size fits all formula.

Entrusting Tobias with the sale of your home is a responsibility he takes seriously. His role is simple: to understand what makes your property special, put it in front of the right people, negotiate fiercely on your behalf and make sure no opportunity is left unexplored.

Sune Farrimond

Sune comes to real estate with over 20 years of hands on residential development experience, which means he understands property from the inside out. From land and design through to build, finish and resale, he knows what truly creates value and how to see potential that others might miss.

After eight years living on Waiheke, Sune knows the island in a way that only comes from being part of it. He understands the feel of each area, the lifestyle people are buying into, and the small details that make one home very different from the next.

His commitment to the community runs deep. For more than six years Sune has volunteered with the Waiheke Fire Brigade, helping protect homes, people and the natural environment we all love. It is a role built on trust, teamwork and showing up when it counts, and those same values shape how he works with his clients.

As a father, Sune brings a natural sense of care and perspective to everything he does. He knows that homes are not just transactions, they are where life happens, and that understanding sits at the heart of how he supports people through buying and selling.

Energetic, creative and quietly driven, Sune is known for finding smart, out of the box ways to bring deals together. He stays calm under pressure, looks for solutions, and brings a positive momentum to every campaign.

We are genuinely excited to have him as part of Waiheke Homes. Sune is warm, capable and deeply invested in this island, and we are proud to have him representing our clients and our community.

Hannah Milward

Before moving into property, Hannah worked closely with individuals and families navigating complex and often emotionally charged life decisions. That background means she understands how stressful major transitions can be — and how important it is to feel genuinely heard, clearly informed, and never rushed.

Alongside her clinical experience, Hannah is trained in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), supporting her ability to listen deeply, communicate clearly, and guide people through decisions in a way that aligns with their values and priorities.

Hannah also brings strong business development and commercial experience from her work with Property Compliance Monitor (PCM) — a property management and compliance platform used by large property portfolio holders, including government housing providers across New Zealand. Working in this environment gave her exposure to complex portfolios, regulatory frameworks, and high-stakes decision-making, and strengthened her ability to translate complexity into clarity.

Having lived in Onetangi for three years, and now residing in Orapiu, Hannah loves sharing the magic of the quiet and pristine parts of Waiheke. Now part of the team at Waiheke Homes, Hannah supports clients through key life stages — whether buying, selling, downsizing, or planning ahead. Her approach is transparent, low-pressure, and grounded in genuine care for both wellbeing and long-term outcomes.

Based on Waiheke Island, Hannah values community, trust, and long-term relationships, and welcomes honest, no-obligation conversations about what’s right for each client.
