About this property

Family Retreat on the Coast

Our spacious 3-4 brm home, completed 2016 is designed for summer family get-togethers. It's private, secluded location has direct access to the beautiful Weiti River with panoramic views across the bay to Stillwater and the surrounding countryside.

Take a 2 minute drive to several of the most beautiful beaches in NZ, as well as shopping malls, a movie theatre, bars and cafes. It is also only a 10min drive to Silverdale centre or a 30min drive to Auckland CBD.

The open plan kitchen/dining/lounge is great for summer get-togethers and leads out to a relaxing covered deck area with gorgeous views & great sunsets on one side, and a sheltered lush courtyard for dining on the other. Out front is a huge open lawn with our 'mega play' kids playground.

Upstairs are three large bedrooms and two bathrooms.
1 x Queen Bed - Master with ensuite
1 x king single room
1 x king single room
Spacious family bathroom with roll top bath and rain head shower.

Downstairs adjoining the courtyard is our office and guest room with a double size organic wool and latex futon.

There is plenty of parking with a double garage for guests to use during their stay.

Beautiful in every way
Peaceful and quiet but close to everything you need and the lovely peninsula beaches. A home well-designed to make life easy. Great for family in a natural environment with an always changing outlook over the estuary and the Stillwater wharf. Games on the lawn. We thoroughly loved our stay.
