Family Friendly Estuary front beach house

We are100 metres across a reserve to the estuary where we swim and kayak 2 hours either side of high tide. Our bach looks out to the spectacular skyline of the Coromandel Ranges and we enjoy spectacular sunsets.
There is an outdoor entertaining area which is great for BBQs. Shopping area, skateboard bowl, basketball court, minigolf and golf courses are all within a few minutes walk. For younger children there is a playground within view and close enough to call children home for dinner. Fishing from the wharf is a popular activity.
For those who are keen on more active pursuits there are 3 bikes and 3 kayaks with life jackets. The ocean beach is a short drive or a 15 minute walk away. The challenge of climbing Mt Pauanui before breakfast motivates some!
If you just want to chill, the outlook is wonderfully relaxing. Sunsets are often brilliant. The birdlife along the estuary on those late afternoon walks is always fascinating. Just out of view, but actually very close, are the Waterways canals.
In Winter our house is warmed by a very efficient heat pump. There are two separate living areas - one with the television/DVD player, one for those who want to talk. There is an HDMI cable to connect to your laptop.

The famous Hot Water Beach is a 45 minute drive away and Cathedral Cove is less than an hour's drive .

(Note: The map shows a lake. It used to be a lake many years ago but is actually a reserve between the house and the water.)
