Is there any difference between Timeshare and Holiday Ownership?
No difference whatsoever. Holiday Ownership is simply a more correct name for Timeshare because it better describes what the product is all about (we use both). However, most Owners will still refer to their Holiday Ownership weeks as Timeshare.

How much will I expect to pay for a "re-sale" week?
Prices for Holiday Ownership weeks worldwide are all very much the same. A one-bedroom floating week usually sells for between $2,000nz and $4,000nz, and a two-bedroom float sells for between $4,000nz and $6,000nz. A search on the Internet will bear this out. (This currency converter could be helpful if you want to check out the prices). Fixed weeks in a peak holiday season (such as week 52 and week 1 in New Zealand and Australia) at highly desirable resorts may fetch more than $15,000 or $16,000. These are well sought after but only rarely available.

What price will I realistically pay to buy a good timeshare?
There are many factors which affect price, such as whether the week is fixed or floating, which resort it is at, what size the accommodation is, and which week it is for (if fixed). We offer a free, no-obligation appraisal on timeshare in New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific. Ask us for details.

Is it still worth owning timeshare?
Yes, yes and yes - if you buy the right timeshare at the right price. Timeshare is a great way to ensure you have quality holiday accommodation at an affordable price, can be exchanged for time in other resorts all over the world and can be resold if it no longer suits your needs. There's lots more information on what makes timeshare a worthwhile purchase - follow the links to RCI and II in the Resort Directories page.

What makes resold timeshare a particularly good buy?
The Holiday Ownership market is much like the Automobile market. Buyers of new products pay a premium. They are the ones who have to pay for the development costs, and the gifts that marketing companies offer to potential buyers. Buying timeshare "second-hand" however means you are getting exactly the same resort ownership as the "new" buyer, at a price that the market is currently sustaining. That means, if you want to sell it later, you are much more likely to get back what you paid for it.
