Beyond the horizon

If a life by the water is calling – Bayleys’ Waterfront guides you to the most extraordinary corners of New Zealand, Australia and the Pacific Islands.

Owning a waterfront property is the ultimate dream – a reminder that you’re part of a rare and privileged group.

With only so much waterside land to go around, every bach, lakefront retreat, riverside haven, and coastal home carries its own story and sense of magic.

For more than three decades, Bayleys’ Waterfront magazine has celebrated this lifestyle – one that transcends the property itself. It’s about connection, memory-making, and that year-round holiday feeling only life by the water can bring.

Driven by its scarcity, emotional appeal and enduring value, the waterfront market continues to outperform the broader residential market. Buyers know they’re investing not just in bricks and mortar, but in experiences that last a lifetime.

Today, global uncertainty is shining a spotlight on New Zealand, Australia and the South Pacific as safe, desirable destinations.

Evolving government policy and Bayleys’ strategic alliance with McGrath Estate Agents in Australia are also opening new doors for international buyers who share our passion for these shores.

We’re also seeing proud expat Kiwis return to the water’s edge, reaffirming that no matter where life takes you, home will always be where the heart is.
