Tucked along the sun-soaked ridge above the Wharekawa Harbour, this private property offers more than just a home - it's a chance to embrace a slower, more mindful way of living. Whether you're seeking a permanent lifestyle change or a true escape-from-it-all holiday base, this property delivers the best of both worlds.
Surrounded by lush tropical gardens on a generously sized site, you'll feel a world away while still being within easy reach of Whangamata and the wider Coromandel. Wake up to birdsong, wander down to the Wharekawa harbour to swim/fish off the jetty, or take the tree-lined track to one of New Zealand's most beautiful, unspoilt white sand surf beaches.
