About the host
Hosted by WayneH3
Born in Auckland and love New Zealand. I am an active architect, enjoying photography and being creative. We think our beach house is a little slice of heaven. You will never be bored here.
Why they chose this property
We had searched up and down the country for a place on the edge of the water. Even though we have been offered substantial sums of money to sell we have not been able to find a place that could equal or better this unique setting. Just 10 houses in the Bay onto a beautiful harbour.
What makes this property unique
Dining in the moonlight on the deck facing the sea or visiting the nearby cafes...A difficult choice.
