Police were called to a family harm incident on Waima Cresent around midnight.
When they arrived, everyone came out of the house except one man, who said he had a gun.
A cordon was set up around the address, and neighbouring properties were evacuated as a precaution.
The man allegedly threw items and started a fire inside, before jumping off the balcony.
He received minor injuries and is expected to face charges and appear in court later today.
The fire has been extinguished.
