About this property

Beautiful Ocean View from Waihi Beach - Mt Maunganui Private Rustic country home

Drive through a vista of ferns, over a small water ford up a country drive way to a property with stunning views from Mt Maunganui - Matakana Island. Relax in the hot tub looking out to the harbour, don’t be surprised if a Tui, Kereru or a cheeky fantail swoop through from tree to tree. BBQ on the deck listening to the Morepork call or cook in the modern kitchen with truly breathtaking views. Swimming pool, Water features and privacy. The Homing Pigeons fly surveying the land ducking and diving and ‘Flint’, the Alpaca would love to be hand fed if you wish. Our fish pond out from the deck also homes 3 Axolotls, which can be seen when the sun goes down.

We have a very basic gym in the garage comprising of Rower, Weights, Kettle bells, Back Stretcher, Gym Exercycle
