A sunlit two-bedroom home perched above the bay, where evenings end with the sound of water and mornings begin with sea air drifting through open doors.

Set on a gentle grassy rise with views stretching across the harbour and palms below, this 72sqm retreat celebrates easy coastal living. The open kitchen and dining space is bright and inviting, fitted with soft neutral cabinetry, a white tiled splashback and generous windows framing the green outdoors. The separate lounge opens straight onto a wide timber deck - your everyday perch for coffee, books or sunset dinners that last a little longer than planned.

Inside, comfort takes care of itself. The living area is carpeted and cooled by air conditioning, while both bedrooms feature polished timber floors with large windows that bring in natural light. There’s a compact laundry and separate toilet and bathroom, all simply finished and easy to maintain, leaving you more time to enjoy the setting.

The section has plenty of room to spread out - space to park the boat, pitch a tent for summer visitors, or sit beneath the stars after a day on the water. It’s the kind of bach that suits holidaymakers, downsizers or anyone wanting an easy-care coastal escape.

Tinopai sits along the Hukatere Peninsula, part of the beautiful Kaipara Harbour, known for its safe swimming spots, fishing and laid-back pace. The boat ramp is nearby for launching a day’s adventure, and the beach is a short walk away when the tide and sunshine call your name.

Easy, honest and perfectly placed for those who value the slower things in life, this one is ready to become your place by the sea.
