About this property
Charming Waharau seaside holiday house close to regional park.
This location (1h20m from central Auckland) is perfect to relax and unwind or to be active with walking, swimming (boulder beach), biking, kayaking, or fishing. The sea is in front of you and the view of the Coromandel Peninsula across the Firth of Thames is stunning. The upstairs living (two of the bedrooms and a bathroom are downstairs) with decks north and east provides a delightful perch over the vast bay. There are lawns at the front and the back of the house. The Waharau Regional Park just down the road offers several flat and hilly tracks for varying levels of fitness, and for real walking enthusiasts the Hunua range is accessible from the park. The closest shop is 9 kms south at Kaiaua, where you can rent a bike, buy fish & chips, petrol and there is a pub. Thames township is a 45 minute drive, and the gorgeous Tapapakanga (coastal) Regional Park is 12 minutes north by car.

Sharmain is an extremely hospitable host that provided all that was required and then some. There were rock shoes to borrow so we could easily navigate the oyster shell covered rocks - however there is a sandy path into the ocean that looks as if it has been cultivated and I would not be surprised if it were. There is a pantry with basics that is extremely helpful (as well as sustainable) and the house itself is comfortable, beautiful and felt like home. Thank you Sharmain! I will most definitely return x
