About this property

Waiwhare On The Beach (beachfront property with direct beach access)

BEACH FRONT PROPERTY (with direct beach access off the section).

Discover your own slice of paradise at Waiwhare on the Beach, a fully fenced, two-storey traditional Kiwi bach in a quiet, sheltered corner of Castlepoint. With private beach access right from the front lawn, you can step straight onto the sand and soak in uninterrupted ocean views – no roads to cross, no crowds, just the beach at your doorstep.

Perfect for families and pet owners, the property is fully fenced, offering a safe, secure space for children and dogs to roam. Enjoy the sheltered deck for BBQs and lazy afternoons, or cosy up indoors with a fire after a day of adventure.

We have just added a new 55" Smart TV with an integrated sound system that connects into the houses Wi-Fi, so your TV and music needs are catered for! There is a brand-new Nespresso capsule coffee machine in the kitchen. There's usually a few capsules beside it, but if you're a serious coffee lover please bring your own.

Linen can be supplied for a fee (please enquire).

This is a true coastal haven – peaceful, spacious, and just minutes from iconic Castlepoint walks, the lighthouse, and the local store. You’re also a short drive from the 9-hole Castlepoint Golf Course, and can enjoy a classic Kiwi meal or cold drink at the Whakataki Hotel, the friendly local pub just down the road.

Perfect location!! The place was huge and had everything we needed for a much needed family weekend away with our dogs. We had sun and surf during the day, and with the colder nights the fireplace was a game changer. We loved it. Thank you!!

Absolutely brilliant place with all the bits and pieces needed or not to have a relaxing stay, including bits and pieces in the pantry and fridge and freezer! (Thanks) we nearly finished the 1,000 piece Castlepoint Jigsaw maybe 1 more day would have seen it done, but walks and swims (and of course fish and chips from the local store) got in the way. Highly recommended unless your booking conflicts with our return to this beautiful, relaxing/exhilarating location!!!!
