Just 100 metres from New Zealand’s most loved beach, this thoughtfully designed two-bedroom home offers a rare blend of simplicity, privacy and lock-and-leave confidence. Set on a 400m² site in a quiet pocket of Ōhope, the property delivers an easy coastal rhythm from the moment you arrive - minimal maintenance, excellent sun and outdoor areas that extend everyday living in all seasons.

Inside, the light-filled lounge anchors the home with its pitched ceiling, bifold doors and an effortless connection to the enclosed sun patio. This warm, sheltered space functions beautifully as a morning coffee nook, plant haven or breezy summer extension of the living area.

The kitchen brings a bold, fresh character with its green feature splashback, gas cooking and generous storage. Both bedrooms sit under high ceilings and enjoy great natural light, while the main bathroom includes a full bath, clean lines and practical functionality.

Outdoor pockets are tucked thoughtfully around the home - from the small lawn framed by cherry trees and birdlife, to the central courtyard where covered pergolas, seating zones and a striking blue water feature create a genuinely private retreat. This space invites relaxed entertaining or sun-soaked solo afternoons alike.

What elevates this address even further is the exceptional garaging. A full 7.4m x 12.7m workshop-style garage offers four-car parking, storage and project space, while also incorporating its own bathroom and laundry - an outstanding asset for hobbyists, boaties, travellers or anyone seeking separation of living and utility.

With a beach access walkway just metres from your gate, you can be on the sand in moments. Cafés, golf, local amenities and Whakatāne township all sit within easy reach, making this an ideal coastal base, whether you call it home or a weekend escape.
