Why they chose this property
We love this area as it’s a quintessentials kiwi bach vibe . The beach and walks are world class. Plus Whangārei Harbour is a 5 mins drive over the hill, for a different vibe with fishing , diving, more incredible hikes .
What makes this property unique
3 decks and entertainment areas. 2 massive internal living spaces (upstairs with ping pong table).
