What do you imagine when you think of the perfect beach house? Something cute, coastal, and full of character, a place that feels both holiday-bright and home-warm? Welcome to 17 Moana Street, a cedar-and-timber-clad retreat that captures the essence of seaside living in Aramoana, aptly known as “Pathway to the Sea.”

Inside, natural timber walls and warm tones create an inviting atmosphere. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen space is stylish yet relaxed, with French doors opening to private decks and lush native gardens that frame the home beautifully. The modern kitchen offers timeless white cabinetry and a functional layout designed for everyday ease.

Comfort is assured with partially double-glazed windows, gas hot water, modern bathrooms, and partial insulation. In 2014, an architecturally designed extension added a serene upstairs suite - a bedroom and bathroom, offering privacy and separation from the main living area and second bedroom and bathroom downstairs.

Outdoors, a boardwalk winds through mature native gardens, linking the decks to a tranquil garden haven. A ply-lined sleepout welcomes guests, while a single garage provides space for storage and beach essentials.

17 Moana Street has “the magic.” Designed with care, it’s coastal, charming, and effortlessly chic, a home that feels like a permanent holiday.

Just moments from Otago’s most beautiful beaches, wander down the mole to watch the waves and passing cruise ships, or take a short drive to Port Chalmers for its cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, and local schools. Aramoana is a welcoming, close-knit community with an annual fair, school-bus service, and an easygoing, relaxed pace of life.

A truly special coastal sanctuary - where architecture meets tranquility and every day feels like a holiday.
