The most popular properties viewed by New Zealanders
Jonah Lomu's mansion, an historic church in Franklin and a tiny cottage in Mt Eden have been recognised among the most popular property listings in 2020.
Trade Me spokesperson Millie Silvester said New Zealanders are keen property lovers and every year unique properties take top spots for the most viewed properties.
Jonah Lomu’s former Maupuia mansion was the site's most viewed property of 2020 with 196,000 views, Silvester said.
The five-bedroom Mediterranean-style house with expansive views of Wellington harbour has a rateable value of $2.4 million and is still listed onsite.
Silvester said the list wouldn’t be complete without a few multi-million dollar mansions too.
“Kiwis love to dream and each year we see thousands of views on some of the most expensive properties for sale in the country," she said.
A lavish inner-city mansion in the Wellington suburb of Thorndon clocked up 150,000 hits making it the second most viewed property of 2020.
"The home has an eye-watering asking price of $6.5 million and is still onsite.”
Another Wellington mansion took out the third spot with 148,000 views.
The five-story pad in Brooklyn has an asking price of almost $4 million and boasts an entire floor dedicated to an indoor swimming pool.
Fourth on the most viewed list is a 125-year-old church perched on Awhitu Peninsula in Franklin, which drew 117,771 views.
“The little church is surrounded by some pretty incredible natural scenery and looks out over the Tasman Sea - it’s really no wonder it was dubbed the most photogenic church in the country," Silvester said.
A tiny cottage in the middle of Mount Eden was fifth with 78,059 views.
The festive-looking green house with bright red windows has just one-bedroom and one-bathroom, and spans 51-square-metres.
Also making the cut is Owlcatraz, a native bird and wildlife park in Horowhenua- sixth with 74,300 views.
The 6.67 hectare property includes a four-bedroom home, its own lake and a glow worm cave.
Wellington’s air traffic control tower, Arnold, was seventh on the list and after 68,444 views, Arnold gained a new owner in October.

Mana (Authority, Power, and Prestige) - Day 15
Māui and the Sacred Fire
Māui, a legendary hero, sought to bring fire to the people from Mahuika, the Atua of fire. Māui approached Mahuika with respect for her mana, acknowledging her as the keeper of sacred power. Through wit and humility, he earned her trust, receiving the secret of fire to share with humankind. This act elevated Māui's mana and showed the importance of respecting authority while using power for the greater good.
Moral: Recognise and honour the mana of others while wielding authority with responsibility and integrity.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
