+58A sunny sultry New Zealand beach. Close your eyes. Breathe through your nose. Wriggle your toes. Can you feel wavelets wash the sand with a soft salty zephyr on your face? Turn around. There she is, on the foreshore just fifteen steps away. Her gossamer curtains wave lazily through wide open doors. Cicadas chirrup, a seagull cries overhead. A dappled deck, the whiff of BBQ or bacon n eggs. Summer, soft and endless. Children, laughter, yelling, squeals, long smiles. Memories. Big snapper, scallops, water biscuits, swimming and sailing. Slanting sunlight, a good book, hot coffee, feet up. Starlight, fine single malt, a savoury Havana, and time to think. Five bedrooms, three ensuites plus a single bathroom, open plan with a holiday-size kitchen, media or teen lounge, wood-burner, beach-deck and central courtyard. Huge garage with water gear, kayaks, filleting station, and workshop. The beach. Wild, beautiful, eccentric Golden Bay. Fly straight into Takaka from Wellington.
