17 Birds Beach Road, Tapora

It will be a hard choice as some of the best beach fishing in the country is just across the road from this classic Kiwi bach in one of the few unspoilt peaceful havens left. Most of the bach, including the key areas such as the kitchen, dining area, lounge and combined bathroom / laundry has been nicely renovated, with the double bedroom and large open plan sleeping areas just needing the final touches.

The large covered deck already has drop-down plastic screens installed, making this a prime spot to barbecue or enjoy a glass of wine and watch the setting sun paint the harbour with vibrant colour. Behind the house, the large shed provides excellent secure storage for the boat, quad bike and fishing gear and has an adjoining sleepout which is perfect for when family and friends visit.

With a relaxed esplanade reserve and sandy beach just across the road and a boat ramp only 150m away, fishing fanatics will be well pleased and gardeners will be pretty happy also as this area is well known for producing great fruit and veggie crops. The country primary school, local hall, tennis courts and local golf club are just 10 minutes drive. At just over 30 minutes drive to Wellsford and 100km from Auckland, this is close enough for a weekend bach, or make a very smart lifestyle choice and come and live permanently in this little village on the sea.
