Living near the coast changes the way your days unfold. Mornings feel slower, fresh air becomes part of the routine, and the line between indoors and out softens. Here, that coastal rhythm is paired with a home that’s practical, comfortable and charming.

Set on a 412m² section, the two-bedroom home offers 91m² of well-balanced living that works equally well as a permanent base or a laid-back coastal retreat. The main living area is generous and grounded, anchored by a wood burner and complemented by a heat pump for year-round comfort. Large windows draw in natural light and garden outlooks, keeping the connection to the outdoors front of mind. The kitchen has plenty of bench space, good storage and easy flow to the dining area.

Sliding doors from the living areas open directly outside, encouraging fresh air, alfresco meals and relaxed movement between home and garden.

Both bedrooms offer relaxing private places to reset. The bathroom is clean and practical, while the overall palette throughout the home is neutral and adaptable, allowing you to add personality at your own pace.

Outside, established foliage and coastal planting soften the setting, creating a sense of privacy while keeping maintenance manageable. There’s space to garden, unwind or enjoy time outdoors without the pressure of constant upkeep. A garage and carport provide secure off-street parking, along with room for boards, bikes and everything that comes with coastal living.

The location is where this home really comes into its own. Castlecliff Beach and the dune reserve are just across the road, offering daily walks, surf sessions and wide-open space. The coastal walkway connects you to Whanganui’s wider network of tracks and reserves, while local cafés, shops and schools sit close by. Central Whanganui is an easy drive, making this a location that balances escape with everyday convenience.
