Picture the weekend. The boat’s hitched and ready, and the boat ramp is just seconds away. You’re out on the water in minutes and back home in time for a cold drink on the covered deck as the afternoon light settles over the garden. And that’s just one way to spend a Matarangi weekend. Swap the rod for a dive mask, golf clubs or a beach towel, and this home is set up for all of it.

Built by A1 Homes, the quality shows the moment you walk in. Large double glazed windows fill every room with light, and the open plan living and dining flows out through two sets of sliders, one to the rear deck covered by a pergola, the other to a sunny deck linking to the cabin. The crisp white kitchen has Bosch appliances, a breakfast bar and a window over the back garden, so the cook is never left out of the conversation.

The three bedrooms sit away from the living areas, quiet and bright. The bathroom has a bath, separate shower and heated towel rail, welcome after a day of salt and sand.

The outbuildings are where this property really pays its way. The lined and insulated cabin opens through French doors onto its own deck, ready to be a studio, hobby room or the guest retreat the grandkids fight over every summer. The 36m² garage includes a storage or sleepout room, the high stud carport takes a campervan or boat with ease, and the paved forecourt leaves plenty of room for visitors.

The fully fenced section has been planted with care. A leafy arbour frames the path to the front door, shrubs and young trees line the back boundary, and the flat lawn is safe for children and dogs. Covered outdoor areas on both sides of the house let you follow the sun or escape it.

The Dunes golf course and restaurant are close by for a round or a long lunch, and the beach and village shops are an easy trip. Whether it’s your permanent move to the coast or the family holiday home, it’s ready for you.
