We are about half an hour's drive from Whangarei City Centre, to Reotahi Bay, off the Whangarei Heads Road. Our beach house is situated right on the water's edge with 2 seawalls and two very private beach accesses. Our unique quiet haven is nestled in a open bush-like setting one side, partially under the canopy of our gorgeous, ancient pohutakawa, whose boughs sweep in and out of the water. Our front verandah, viewing Mt Aubrey, flows around the other side of the house to harbour-view side decks. Whilst another small quiet deck is outside our She Shed (my potting garden shed). All have lovely views, especially at sunset. The harbour side deck has fixed seating edge beside an outdoor fireplace/BBQ and a spa, plus easy wide steps down to small lawns then the beach. From here, as well as from our lounge, conservatory and 2 main bedrooms, you are able to enjoy watching all boating/shipping activity, plus our marine and bush wildlife, including occasional kiwi and morepork calls at night Beside wooden verandah/decks is a gently sloped garden path, down to the beach, edged with our small orchard of fig trees, palms, guava shrubs, lemon and lime trees and our bananas and vegetable patch. We are fortunate to be in quiet neighbourhood with only a few tractors/boats passing on the road to the beach. Plus occasionally locals or trampers. We are close to the main NZ wide Te Araroa Trail, and several other more local trails. A perfect iconic NZ spot!

Our property is ideally suited for the relaxing type of holiday, whether it be lounging on the deck, enjoying the view, fishing from the rocks or your boat, or taking a cool swim in the cool clear waters. If you have kayaks, they can be easily launched from our back garden. For the more energetic, there are numerous walking trails, all with outstanding marine views. Snorkeling in the adjacent marine reserve is a delight not to be missed. A very special opportunity which happens occasionally, is to be involved with the local Kiwi Release Programme. A hugely successful programme resulting in increasing our local kiwi population by about 800% in the last 4 years. You may hear kiwi calls from wandering kiwi at night from our place. A short drive away are more harbour and ocean beaches, retail shops and restaurants.
