The words of the iconic Kiwi song describe the scene from this magnificent crow's nest position, laid out like a fairytale blanket of land, sea and air.
As far as the eye can see, the vacillating light gently transforms sweeping vistas of undulating hills, sparkling sea, remote gulf islands and strips of the mainland, as the stunning weather patterns roll in.
To the north are views over the Palm Beach headlands to the Whangaparaoa peninsula.
Further west is monolithic Rangitoto Island, Auckland city and picturesque views of Pine Harbour, Maraetai and Beachlands.
Closer to hand are the Margaret Reeve and Te Whau headlands, the twinkling lights of Anzac Bay and the many Waiheke Island peninsulas stretching towards Park Point.
This sizeable two-bedroom home overlooks the impressive Kuakarau native forest reserve and can never be built out.
Park on your own concrete driveway and adventure up your private walkway to this romantic residence.
The short trek up the well-maintained pathway is rewarded with arguably some of the best views on Waiheke Island.
The clean and tidy, split-level home, built over a double section, has been designed for easy living.
Its expansive open-plan living area, with brand new kitchen, heat pump and huge, wraparound decks, takes in the magnificent views.
Up a few steps, the rear section of the home features a generous master bedroom with views of the sea and Rangitoto, a second double bedroom with delightful views down to Anzac Bay, a huge family bathroom with bath and separate shower, and a large laundry.
There is also plenty of storage on the upper level, with built-in wardrobes and an extra linen cupboard.
With easy-care native bush grounds, there's time to take advantage of the many acclaimed walking tracks on your doorstep.
Be prepared for blazing sunsets and to be lulled by the sound of morepork as night unfolds.
This is a place to pen poetry, to paint, or simply enjoy nature.
Either way, this incredible hill-top sanctuary is near the bus stop and just a five-minute drive to the supermarket and schools.
