After more than 10 years abroad Cass and Sheldon decided to return home to the West Coast, start their family and create their family. Their sunset retreat was purchased with the agreement signed in the maternity ward with their two day old son Kāhu as the witness. They affectionately call their home “Kāhu’s We are just an email or message away if you require any assistance during your stay Beachfront living at its best and only a 5 minute walk from town. The property has been remodelled with love and charm and is full of homely touches matched with a modern boutique kiwi beachfront bungalow. There is many a nook to enjoy through the house, a cosy lounge and open plan entertaining in the modern newly installed kitchen and dining. With a fully fenced property this is the perfect space for sharing with the wee ones and a safe outdoor indoor flow. The property has hi speed fibre wifi and is a great space to work remotely from. The feature we know will be everyone’s favourite escape to watch the hours roll by will have to be the large double swing on the balcony with a view to relax and revive. More than restoring a character house, Sheldon and Cass’ design and build journey has been about discovering how to connect the dwelling to the incredible Tasman Sea on their doorstep. Ways to enhance the overall experience and let the nature flow through the property, framing both the moon rising and the ever present amazing sun sets we are famous for. Secondly and very importantly, how to raise a child on the edge of a vista so wild and beautiful while making sure equal amounts of freedom and safety are equally abundant. The playpen and fire cove has to be the envy of not only every children but adults alike. Look carefully and you will find a Kāhu (NZ Hawk) keeping watch over you from the Macrocarpa tree in the beach garden. If you need more space or have a larger group please check out my additional beach retreats or reach out to see how I may help you find the perfect fit for your vacation.
