Waipu River View, Family friendly & close to beach.

With sea & river views, this house has all you need for a comfortable stay. Cozy in Winter, cool in Summer, with covered outdoor living on both sides so you can always find a sunny/warm or sheltered/shady spot.

Lounge / dining / living / kitchen are open-plan and ideal for family living, with good indoor-outdoor flow to either a covered balcony out the front, or a back deck that has a covered seating area (both areas have tables). The back deck gets the afternoon sun and views through large sliders in the living area, plus shelter from any coastal wind (front deck has an outdoor heater). Big enough to be comfortable and breezy in Summer, and small enough to be cozy in Winter if you're all indoors. It's a new build (so nice and clean), but set up like an old-school-kiwi-bach with games, books, etc.

The bedrooms are comfortable, the master suite is large with super-king bed and ensuite, the single-bed room is roomy with 2 beds and just fits the trundler if you need 3 single beds in the kids room, Third bedroom has a queen bed. With two bathrooms (one is ensuite), there is also an outdoor bath (which you need to light a fire to heat) and outdoor solar shower.

The property is not fenced, has stairs for access, and is on a busy road so we ask that you consider whether it is appropriate for your children (probably not for 'runners' or Houdini's), it's perfect for older kids, with plenty of great outdoors to access from the river across the road which is excellent for kayaking/paddleboarding etc and the beach across the estuary you can usually have to yourselves! 5 minutes drive to Waipu Cove and 5 mins to Waipu Township.

No pets. Our cats come here with us, so not ideal if you are highly allergic to cats.
