Cabin 10, 1116 Takatu Road, Matakana, Rodney

Centre-stage in an exclusive waterfront enclave, this enduring beach house is one of only 25 baches that occupy an extraordinary 16-hectare coastal setting at Waikauri Bay on the Matakana Coast. Shouldering world-renowned Tawharanui Regional Park and positioned on the shores of its own private beach with all-tide boat ramp, jetty, and walking tracks, ownership has been held by the current family since 1979. The original Bach was believed to be the first in the bay, before replacement in 2008 with the current seaside retreat. While the house has evolved, its spirit remains wonderfully unchanged; a place made for family, friends, barefoot days, and hours of fun on the water. Relaxed, contemporary and distinctly coastal cool with an open plan feel and generous living to gather in numbers and share with guests. It is designed for all seasons with an emphasis on uncomplicated entertaining, the great outdoors, and the stunning shoreline setting. Sparkling water views stretch across Kawau Bay to the extraordinary islands of the Hauraki Gulf. Four double bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms provide plenty of accommodation, while established gardens and mature landscaping wrap the home in privacy. Covered alfresco living and a private entertaining lawn extend the living outdoors, and an outdoor shower is perfectly placed for post-swim rinses. Number 10 comes with its own exclusive-use boatshed directly back from the boat ramp. Waikauri Bay is just 12 minutes from Matakana Village and approximately one hour north of the Auckland Harbour Bridge.
One exceptional bay.
One very rare opportunity to become part of it.
