Families wanting a relaxed coastal base with room to spread out will feel right at home here, at this three-bedroom Athenree family home on a generous 1,012m² section. Bedrooms are grouped together for practicality, while the living areas open easily to decks and lawn, which works just as well for kids and pets as it does for visiting friends or easy weekends by the coast.

The lounge is a long, carpeted space with big windows, so you’re always aware of the greenery outside. It’s got a dining table corner with a floor standing heat pump for year round comfort. From here, the kitchen flows through naturally, acting as a practical hub between indoors and out, with its own access to a deck that’s ideal for your morning coffee.

The main bedroom is a well proportioned double tucked into the bedroom wing. Two further bedrooms in the same part of the home are a good size for family, guests or a work-from-home setup, all close to the bathroom and separate toilet. The bathroom is functional and light, with its own window and easy access off the hall, while a separate laundry nearby keeps the washing out of sight but close to the outdoor drying area.

Outside, the decks give you options for outdoor barbecues or just relaxing under the open sky. The lawn areas are practical and family-friendly, with established trees, shrubs and hedging adding privacy and a green outlook. A vegetable garden and landscaped corners invite a bit of weekend pottering, while the separate double garage, driveway and extra on-site parking take care of cars, the boat or beach gear.

Athenree is known for its laid-back coastal feel, with the harbour and local hot pools close by for swimming, kayaking and evening soaks. You’re within easy reach of Waihi Beach School and the cafés and shops at Waihi Beach village, with Tauranga and Waihi township both a straightforward drive for commuting or bigger shopping trips.
