Why they chose this property
This house once belonged to a dear friend of my husband’s family, Uncle Harold. Uncle Harold was like a grandfather to my husband (Ben) after his father and grandfather passed away.
Ben grew up in Cooks Beach and has many fond childhood memories of weekend visits at Uncle Harold’s. After Uncle Harold passed away Ben tried to buy this house in 2013, unfortunately he was unsuccessful. Shortly after this he moved to Auckland, where we met and our love story began.
In 2018 this house came back on the market and by some miracle we were able to buy it. Like in one of our favourite movies “The Castle” we describe this place as having “serenity”. Needless to say this house holds a lot of sentimental value. There have been many happy memories made here, with many more to be made in the future. We hope that you enjoy your stay and feel the same “serenity” that we do.
