North Shore (Auckland)

If you want to be close to town but feel like you are on holiday this is the place for you! A beautiful house styled with designer flare offers wonderful indoor/outdoor living, only 150m from beautiful Waiake beach. The house is fully furnished and very well appointed with everything you would need. Cotton linen, bath towels & beach towels are provided and the pantry/fridge is well equipped with freshly ground coffee, herbs, tea, oil, vinegar etc. A highchair is also available for kids. The bedrooms can be closed off from the living/dining area making it great for families with young children. The living area flows onto a large covered all weather deck where you can spend your evenings soaking up the sun & enjoying freshly caught fish on the BBQ (if you are lucky!). A large fully fenced garden offers safe & secure playground for children & dogs. Waiake Beach is the North Shores best kept secret - a small bay that offers perfect all tide swimming and boating. There is a sheltered estuary at one end of the beach which is perfect for young children. The bay is backed by a reserve with picnic/bbq facilities & a great children's playground. Browns Bay and Torbay villages have all the amenities you could need including supermarkets, great cafes and delis. Beach Cafe & the French Bakery in Browns Bay are very popular & can be reached by a 10 minute clifftop & beach front walk from the property - a perfect morning brunch option!
