My personally designed beach house, built for the sea , island views and sun. Wide decks for entertaining and relaxing, enjoy making your own pizza's
in the wood fired oven and sit at night around the outdoor fire pit in the courtyard.
Three bedrooms, 1; 1 queen , 2nd; 1 queen and day bed, 3rd; 1 set of bunks and king single. Private, ample parking, large decks with sea views. Landscaped tropical gardens.
The very popular Cathedral Cove and Hot Water beach are only a 10 min. drive away

Open plan living, easy walk to beach, cafe / restaurants and local shops.

Great beaches, white sand, safe for swiming, boating, windsurfing, sailing, great fishing off beach , shell fish gathering, walking tracks,or just relaxing.

Attractions; Mercury Bay vineyard serving locally produced wine and seafood platters, unique cafes, tennis courts, golfcourse, kayak tours, sailing and fishing charters, ferry service to Whitianga, great walking tracks and fantastic beaches. Cathederal Cove , Hot Water beach,
and two new boutique breweries only 5 minutes away.

My beach house is more suited to adults and older children as there are stairs, and the decks are 900mm from the ground.

It has been interior designed and landscaped by me and set up as a " home at the beach" with great care,and passion for treasures I have found and collected in my travels. I enjoy sharing my home with others and expect all visitors to enjoy it and respect it as I do.
Special conditions:

andquot; Adult supervision required for toddlers as some deck areas are 900mm

About the host

Hosted by SuzyQ52

Host profile image
I designed , built and landscaped my beach house in 2010, overlooking Mercury Bay. I have
lived and worked here as a landscape and interior designer for 20 years and love the area.

Why they chose this property

The magic views all year round of the sea, sunrises and moon scapes over the sea, easy short walk to our 2km long white sandy beach with great swimming, kayaking and fishing were the draw cards that brought me back here as did
my parents when they settled here in the 1980's.

What makes this property unique

Private , subtropical landscaped grounds, bush backdrop, wood fired pizza oven, 2 kayaks
to explore the beaches, caves and private beach. Only a short drive to Cathedral Cove , Hot Water beach. Short drive to the passenger ferry which takes you to Whitianga.
