A romantic hide-away with spectacular sea views!

Wake up in this idyllic, elevated setting and immerse yourself in the incredibly peaceful tranquillity, birdsong and the wide, uninterrupted sea views from this absolutely private cottage. The winding, bush clad drive along Arahiwi Rise is a prelude to this special find. The 105 sqm cottage with its separate double garage is nestled on 2.199 ha, comprising two paddocks on the rolling hillside, an olive grove, fruit trees, a raised veggie garden and a tree clad backdrop. Enjoy glorious sunrises, relax on the deck absorbing the commanding views over the water and on moonlit nights, the shimmering light with a magnificent display of stars.

The cottage is built to maximize the scenic views in all directions with high ceilings and new carpet throughout. The open plan living, dining and kitchen area has an easy flow for entertaining and a sheltered, covered back deck. The en-suite master bedroom has its own private deck and is located away from the remaining two double bedrooms and family bathroom. There are 24 solar panels on the separate garage, ample water, a fish filleting station and parking for a boat, caravan and visitors.

Pataua South is a small coastal suburb that still holds onto that untouched feel of the Whangarei Heads coast, offering a fantastic community to live in. Parua Bay Village and School are about 10 km away, Whangarei City Centre about 30 km and Auckland is approximately a 188 km drive.

This is truly a playground for the lucky, located only minutes from a sandy beach with great surf and shellfish. There's tidal rivers, an estuary, easy boat launching, kayaking, paddle boarding, sailing, swimming, deep sea fishing, walks and tramping all right on your doorstep!

It is the perfect, intimate couples retreat or family bach - you will love being here! Contact Minda for a private viewing.
