About this property
Matakawau Family Bach - 50 minutes from Drury Motorway
This 5 bedroom house with 2 bathrooms is situated in a quiet, rural residential neighbourhood. It captures all day sunshine and is a relaxing retreat for your quiet family holiday stay.
It has expansive harbour views, with several beaches just a few minutes drive away - nearest beach less than five minutes walk away! All have tide concrete boat ramps and great fishing spots.
15 minutes drive to west coast road beach (Hamilton's Gap); 20 minutes drive to the Lighthouse, and multiple Northern Peninsula beaches such as the beautiful Grahams Beach.
The nearest service station, dairy and takeaways is just a 5-minute drive away; and if anything more is required the township of Waiuku is a further 20 minutes from there.
This northeast facing house is near ten years old, but well looked after. It's on a large section with concrete drive and adjoining paddock to kick a ball and play. The closest house is on the same property, 50m away, rented by a quiet couple.
It has open plan living with sliding doors onto a large covered deck and verandah. With beds for up to nine people; master room with queen bed and ensuite, and another four more large bedrooms containing a queen bed, two sets of sturdy wooden bunk beds and a single bed. There is a large laundry, family bathroom and an open plan living area, well equipped kitchen with everything you need for your comfortable stay.
3 bay covered carport right by the front door.
***Please note that there is no barrier/handrail around the part of the deck where the outdoor dining table is, or the back deck/entry steps. If bringing children please be mindful of this. The distance from the deck to the ground is 900mm, which complies with council regulations.
