Prepare to unwind at this low key island paradise. Get back to basics and be inspired by the spectacular setting whilst planning the relaxed family destination you have talked about.
This waterfront section of 5059 Square meters (more or less) with riparian rights in Pembles Bay sits in a desirable part of Kawau Island close to the very popular white sand beach of Vivian Bay and surrounded by some of Kawau's more expensive residences.
Accessible by private boat or ferry from Sandspit Marina (a one hour drive north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge), Kawau Island is around 8 km's off the Matakana coast and is one of the largest islands in the Hauraki Gulf.
Many families on the island have holidayed here for decades. From simple light and airy structures to beautifully crafted homes, the influence of a back-to-basics aesthetic on Kawau is evident everywhere. Waterfront owners have typically been inspired to build in the style of boat sheds, cottages, homesteads and with memories of yesteryear. The challenge will be deciding how simple or spacious you need your bach to be.
North-west facing and looking back over the ocean to Tawharanui Peninsula with good elevation and easy access, the section is historically honest with manuka and kanuka covering the site. A shared private jetty offers all tide access. There are no roads on this part of Kawau so the loudest sounds your will hear are the abundant native birds.
If you are feeling social, fine dining at The Beach House is available or you can partake in a cold pint and great food at the re-energised and refurbished Kawau Boating Club. Friends can explore historic Mansion House and grounds, and world class fishing and stunning walks through native bush are always on tap.
Waterfront ownership is the privilege of only a few. This site must be one of the most affordable opportunities available to purchase in Auckland today.
