Right in the rhythm of Whakatāne living, this tidy two-bedroom unit offers an easy base close to town. Whether you are starting out, simplifying, or searching for a smart lock-and-leave, this 70m² unit gets the balance right with a sunny outlook, single garage and a layout that makes daily life feel uncomplicated from the outset.

Inside, the living room is warm and inviting, with a large front window drawing in the light and giving the whole area a calm, open feel. From here, the home flows through to the kitchen and dining area, where the original cabinetry has been well kept and the layout remains functional. There is good storage, room to move and a separate laundry tucked away beyond the bathroom.

Both bedrooms are doubles, each with built-in storage and a soft, restful feel. The main bedroom is especially generous, while the second would work equally well for guests, a flatmate, or a work-from-home setup. The bathroom is tidy, with a shower, vanity and easy-care finishes that keep things simple.

Outdoors, the appeal continues with a low-maintenance courtyard that has clearly been designed for ease rather than endless upkeep. Gravel underfoot, raised garden beds and a separate shed all add to the usability, while still leaving room for a bench in the sun or a few potted herbs by the back door. Out front, the curved drive, garage and lawn soften the setting nicely and give the home a more generous feel.

The location adds another layer of appeal, with convenient access to Whakatāne’s town centre and the Kopepeo shops.
