Rare retreat - Get in before everyone else!
Set in its own peaceful cove in the Bay of Many Coves, just a relaxing 20-minute boat ride from Waikawa, Waitawa offers an exceptional waterfront retreat in one of the Sounds’ most enchanting pockets. Surrounded by thriving native regeneration and alive with birdsong, this modern three-bedroom haven blends quality craftsmanship with relaxed coastal living. With a consented large boatshed, fixed jetty, and your own private mooring, it’s perfectly designed for seamless access to the water and the lifestyle that comes with it.
Solidly built and thoughtfully configured, Waitawa is ideal as both a cherished family escape or a unique permanent residence for those seeking off-grid, water-access living without compromising comfort. The home enjoys sweeping views across the sheltered bay, best appreciated from the expansive wrap-around entertainers’ deck flowing effortlessly from the living areas and master bedroom.
Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space forms the warm heart of the home, oriented to capture the ever-changing Sounds outlook. The well-appointed kitchen features excellent storage, granite benchtops, a freestanding gas stove, gas fridge/freezer, and rangehood. A large open fireplace brings charm and ambience, while the living area opens wide with trifold doors to the sunny deck – the perfect setting for long lunches, shared stories, and alfresco evenings.
Accommodation is arranged on one convenient level, with all three bedrooms positioned for easy family living. The master suite includes an ensuite, walk-in wardrobe, and trifold doors that unfold to the deck and views beyond. The additional two bedrooms are generous doubles.
Outdoor living truly shines at Waitawa. At the water’s edge, the spacious boatshed with louvred doors opens onto a generous deck and the fixed jetty – a brilliant spot for sunbathing, entertaining, and watching friends and family launch kayaks, dive in for a swim, or explore the bay. From here, you can paddle to the Bay of Many Coves Resort for coffee, lunch, or to impress visiting guests, wander along the pebble beach, or head out to renowned nearby fishing grounds.
Whether you envision tranquil summers, family adventures, or a permanent home immersed in nature, Waitawa is a rare opportunity to secure a truly special slice of the Bay of Many Coves – private, peaceful, and beautifully connected to land, sea, and the Sounds lifestyle.
