Lovely and spacious with tons of natural light. The living/dining area open onto a covered deck and large garden with bi-fold doors.
Located down a private right of way and on a 1/4 acre this lovely property is surrounded by established trees and a large, flat lawn. Choice of 3 beaches, clifftop walk and Waipu caves within 10 minutes drive. Large bedrooms plus two full bathrooms gives everyone their privacy. The house is all on the same level so no stairs to worry about. The location is quiet and private as there’s very minimal traffic noise or street lights but is only a short, flat 3 minute walk into town to the restaurants and boutique shops. Enjoy chatting with friends on the deck with the ambience of a wood burning fireplace. The night sky is particularly beautiful as there’s minimal light pollution.

About the host
Hosted by Cathy
We live and work in Auckland and use our holiday house “Bach” as often as possible.
Why they chose this property
It’s easy access to Auckland (1 1/2 hour drive). It has amazing beaches within an easy drive from us (max 10mins). Waipu Cove beach has been voted the number one beach for the last two years running. Waipu town has quaint shops, restaurants and coffee shops and they offer many market day experiences. We’re active golfers and the golf club is a regular place for us … plus the views from there can be enjoyed by anyone visiting the area.
What makes this property unique
As we use this house regularly, we minimise the wear and tear from visitors. We are extremely house proud and all the furniture and fittings are to our own high standards.
