Stunning Beach-front house- Tutukaka harbour

This luxury beach front house is Architect owned, it oozes charm with indoor out door flow. Open the bedroom french doors and fall asleep to the sound of lapping water across the moonlit bay. In the morning throw open the kitchen bifold windows to the morning sun. The living room opens on to a verandah on all three sides with bi-folding doors. A sheltered side is always available. Stunning views from every room. Check out our web site for more photos and a fuller description. The harbour is very safe for kayaking in most weathers. Most of the time a gentle lapping of the waves is all that can be heard.
50" Plasma screen and Blue-Ray DVD home theatre surround sound with Sky TV and Wifi available. Toys on site for your use include:- 3 ride on kayaks (one is a double), life jackets, a 3 burner BBQ. Launch the kayaks for a morning fish or the boat (in the next bay) for a wake board or an afternoon dive.
The local store at Tutukaka has all the normal goods for your use including a good range of recent DVDs'. Fancy a night out then there is the iconic 'Schnappa Rock' or 'Oceans Resort' by the marina. Takeaways are just 5 minutes over the hill in Nungaruru or a beautiful pizza / Cafe in the marina.
The marina in the harbour has a huge range of charter vessels for diving , fishing or touring. The beautiful Matapouri bay, Whale bay and the surf beach of Sandy bay is just a 10 to 15 minute drive and Whangarei only 30 minutes. The harbour is alive with fish, gannets and crayfish. On occasions dolphins enter the bay to round up schools of fish.

Fantastic location right on the water. The house is great for two families/ extended family. We really enjoyed the surf beaches only a short drive away. Would stay again, we loved it!

A secret little place ...
This place is central yet far away from it all. Perfect for a weekend away with friends or family. There's enough space for everyone. The bach itself is location, location, location. Beachfront. Always something to do and see, or if you prefer do nothing except rest and relax.

Fabulous location, clean house with great amenities. The kyaks and childrens beach toys appreciated
Fabulous, but not as large as it looks in the photos and the kitchen was quite small when catering for a crowd. The water pump needed to be turned off at night but that wasn't a problem; lots of pantry items available, nice linen, furniture, etc.
