About this property

Stunning Beach-front house- Tutukaka harbour

Luxury Waterfront Escape — Tutukaka

Wake to the sound of gentle waves lapping across a moonlit bay.

This beautiful architect-owned, luxury beachfront home is all about relaxed coastal living and exceptional indoor-outdoor flow. Full of charm and character, it has been designed to make the most of its spectacular waterfront setting, with stunning views from almost every room.

The spacious living room opens through double sliding doors onto a verandah on three sides of the house, creating a wonderful connection with the outdoors. Whether you are looking for morning sun, afternoon shade or shelter from the breeze, there is always a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy the view.

The Bay at Your Door

The harbour is exceptionally safe for kayaking in most weather conditions. Much of the time, the only sound you will hear is the gentle rhythm of the waves against the shore.

The bay is alive with marine life. From time to time, dolphins even enter the harbour as they chase schools of fish.

For guests wanting to explore the water, we provide:

3 sit-on-top kayaks, including one double kayak

Life jackets

BBQ

Waterfront access

Relax & Enjoy

Inside, the home has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including:

55" QLED Smart TV

Sound bar

Sky TV

Free Wi-Fi

Fully equipped kitchen

Luxury linen supplied

Explore Tutukaka

The local store at Tutukaka has all the everyday essentials you are likely to need.

For a night out, head to the iconic Schnappa Rock or Oceans Resort, both located around the marina. Takeaways are only about five minutes away over the hill at Ngunguru, while the marina offers a beautiful setting for pizza and café dining.

The Tutukaka Marina is also the gateway to a huge range of charter experiences, with vessels available for diving, fishing and sightseeing.

And when you feel like exploring further afield, some of Northland's most beautiful beaches are close by:

Matapouri Bay — approximately 10–15 minutes

Whale Bay — approximately 10–15 minutes

Sandy Bay surf beach — approximately 10–15 minutes

Whangārei — approximately 30 minutes

Whether you spend your days kayaking, swimming, fishing, exploring the coast or simply sitting on the verandah watching the changing light across the harbour, this is a place to slow down and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Tutukaka.

About the host

Hosted by Wayne Houston

Host profile image
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.
