Relaxed coastal charm just moments from the beach and town

Tucked just back from the sand and surf, this “ultimate bach” captures everything buyers love about Whangamatā — location, lifestyle, and that effortless beach simplicity. This property radiates character and comfort, offering easy living and great functionality just a short stroll from cafés, shops, and the main beach.

The home presents a perfect blend of the old and the new — thoughtfully enhanced over time to deliver relaxed modern living while retaining the easy-going feel of a traditional kiwi bach. Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining and living area forms the social hub of the home, opening directly onto a sunny deck that’s tailor-made for summer entertaining. The kitchen window servery and leaner shelf create an ideal link between indoor comfort and outdoor enjoyment — a design detail that makes casual gatherings effortless.

Accommodation is generous for a property of this scale, with three bedrooms in the main dwelling supported by a smartly designed sleepout at the rear — ideal for extended family, visiting friends, or even as a hobby space or studio.

A covered carport adds convenience, while the layout ensures privacy and practicality, whether you’re using it as a permanent home or weekend getaway.

The 499 square metre (more or less) section is easy-care and well laid out, offering ample space for outdoor living, parking and beach toys, without the maintenance burden of a large site. The property’s orientation makes the most of the sun, shelter and privacy — perfect for those long Whangamatā afternoons spent outdoors.

Positioned on one of the town’s most sought-after streets, you’re in the heart of it all — close to the beach and just a short, flat walk to the town centre. It’s the kind of address people look for but rarely find.

In a market where authentic, well-located beach homes are in demand, this property stands out. It offers genuine quality and functionality, without the compromises often found in older stock. Whether you’re looking for a classic family bach, an easy-care coastal home, or an investment with broad appeal, 223B Ocean Road is an opportunity not to miss.

Affordable, adaptable, and unmistakably Whangamatā – this is beach living the way it should be.
