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.

3 sit-on-top kayaks, including one double kayak
Life jackets
BBQ
Waterfront access
Relax & Enjoy

About the host
Hosted by Wayne Houston
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.
