There's a moment that happens with this house. You pull up, take in the position at the Whakatane Heads, and something just shifts. You stop thinking about square metres and start thinking about Sunday mornings on that deck, coffee in hand, river glittering below, nowhere else you'd rather be.

This is a home built around comfort. The kind that wraps around you the moment you walk in, warm, generous, and effortlessly liveable. Five bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a mid-century character that feels timeless rather than tired. Every detail has been considered, every space designed to be used and enjoyed.

Upstairs, the open plan living and kitchen flows seamlessly out to a sunset-facing deck that becomes the natural heart of the home. The master retreat captures the river backdrop beautifully, and with four bedrooms on this level, there's space for everyone to settle in and stay a while.
Downstairs, a character-filled studio has a life of its own, retro in feel, flexible in function. The grandkids will claim it. Guests will never want to leave. And honestly, you might just keep it for yourself. An elevator connects the levels, large garaging handles the practicalities, and out back your own private waterfall oasis waits, the kind of place where the sound of running water drowns out the rest of the world, and an evening in the spa feels less like a luxury and more like a ritual.

Central to town, coastal in feel, and a stone's throw from the boat ramp, this is the kind of address that rarely comes available, and even more rarely feels like this when it does.

If your next chapter involves more comfort, more views, and more of the people you love gathered under one roof - this is where it begins.
