Why they chose this property
We discovered NZ 10 years ago and found the most wonderful piece of paradise close to Auckland on the Kaipara harbour and moved here with our dogs.
We are only 70 minutes from downtown Auckland in a small town called Kaiwaka.
Nestled within a private gated community, the estate has its own private deep water boat ramp, tennis courts, kayaking and the most amazing fishing , snapper in particular as we live in the heart of the snapper spawning grounds.
Covenanted bush surrounds the property and we are home to many indigenous native birds.
We harvest honey from our bees, grow our own vegetables and love to cook, William is partial to perfecting his own NZ home brew.
Its a unique property, pet friendly, baby friendly, we offer a wellness experience thats hard to find.
