Muriwai Drive is a street that has the river mouth on one side, native hills on the other, and homes that never stay on the market long. Number 89 makes the most of it, offering four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a detached sleep-out that’s as adaptable as they come.

The main living room opens straight onto a sunlit deck, where you can easily imagine morning coffee and river-watching before the day begins. The kitchen and dining area sit alongside, sensible and social in equal measure, with windows that frame the greenery and flood the space with light.

Three bedrooms are tucked within the main home, each with inbuilt storage and large windows. A family bathroom and separate WC keep things moving during the morning rush. Then there’s the sleep-out: not an afterthought but a proper, self-contained setup with its own living, bedroom, bathroom and kitchenette. Perfect for teenagers who want their own space, visiting family or even as an income earner.

The section, at 610sqm, is flat, fenced, and easy to manage. The backyard gives you room for the kids, the dog or a decent vege patch, while a carport and separate garage mean storage and hobbies are well catered for. The backdrop of native hillside gives the whole property a sense of privacy and calm that’s very Whakatane.

And the front? That’s the clincher. The river mouth is right there, the surf is minutes away, and town is close enough to walk or bike. It’s a location that blends coastal calm with everyday convenience - one of those neighbourhoods more and more people are realising they want to be part of.
