About the host
Hosted by Raewyn Tucker
I was born in the North and Theo in Holland. We both have adult children and 8 grandchildren between us. We both love the sea and never tire of the ever changing scene from our property. There is nothing nicer then coming home from a hard days work and sitting looking out at our changing view.
Why they chose this property
We were very lucky when we decided that we wanted to buy a house together. We had always wanted to live on the Whangarei Harbour but be close to work and Whangarei Township and we found our home.
What makes this property unique
A stones throw from the waters edge and yet close to all necessary amenities. Ample parking. Easy access and close to town. A good selection of bird life to watch.
