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.
