The Staff are Wonderful

From the first day we stepped into the Hunter Homes display, we were welcome. We looked through the display and the home was just what we wanted. Through the initial stages of costing and planning, our New Home Advisor was fantastic. She helped with all our queries, even if we changed things again and again. I cannot recommend the enough. Do yourself a favour and build with Hunter Homes

Excellent Process

We had an excellent experience with Hunter Homes. Our Site Manager was excellent as we completed our practical completion inspection, and no request was too difficult or an imposition. Dealing with our Site Liaison person has also been a great experience where information was provided promptly and with the detail and advice that we needed. Not only that, but our build was also finished 2 months ahead of expected schedule. Would build with these guys again!

Hunter Homes Experience Second to none

Hunter Homes provided excellent support and communication throughout the entire process of our build through our Site Supervisor. He showed a wealth of experience and knowledge and was extremely approachable throughout. Any queries or concers were addressed immediately and rectified promptyl which made the process, as a whole, very hassle free.
