Luxury home insurance that goes beyond limits for high end houses that deserve more.

Superior cover for exceptional homes.

Rebuild without compromise

We go beyond your sum insured amount to repair or rebuild your home to the same floor area for events we cover (excluding natural hazards). If labour or material costs increase, you won’t need to compromise.1

Temporary accommodation to meet your standards and lifestyle

If you can’t live in your home due to an event we cover, we’ll pay up to $150,000 for alternative accommodation that meets a similar standard of living as your home.

Nothing less than a perfect match

If we can’t find a match for your damaged bathroom or kitchen suite, carpet, or fitted flooring, we’ll pay the extra cost to replace undamaged parts, so your interiors remain stylish and cohesive.

Rebuild better with our sustainability upgrade

If your high end home is destroyed, we’ll help you rebuild better by paying up to $30,000 to upgrade with sustainable products.

Pay nothing to replace broken glass

If your claim is only for broken glass in windows, doors or screens, you won’t pay an excess.

Lost rent for your holiday home

If your holiday home is damaged while rented out for up to 28 days, we’ll cover up to $150,000 in lost rent. We’ll also cover lost rent from confirmed bookings during the repair or evacuation period.

Lifestyle block fencing cover

If your lifestyle block fencing is damaged, we'll provide cover up to $25,000 to repair it.

The finer details
