An Exceptional Beachfront Retreat
Spectacular harbour views - Tutukaka Harbour
Luxury Waterfront Escape — Tutukaka
Wake to the sound of gentle waves lapping across a moonlit bay.
This beautiful architect-owned, luxury beachfront home is all about relaxed coastal living and exceptional indoor-outdoor flow. Full of charm and character, it has been designed to make the most of its spectacular waterfront setting, with stunning views from almost every room.
The spacious living room opens through double sliding doors onto a verandah on three sides of the house, creating a wonderful connection with the outdoors. Whether you are looking for morning sun, afternoon shade or shelter from the breeze, there is always a comfortable spot to sit and enjoy the view.
The Bay at Your Door
The harbour is exceptionally safe for kayaking in most weather conditions. Much of the time, the only sound you will hear is the gentle rhythm of the waves against the shore.
The bay is alive with marine life. From time to time, dolphins even enter the harbour as they chase schools of fish.
For guests wanting to explore the water, we provide:
3 sit-on-top kayaks, including one double kayak
Life jackets
BBQ
Waterfront access
Relax & Enjoy
Inside, the home has everything you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay, including:
55" QLED Smart TV
Sound bar
Sky TV
Free Wi-Fi
Fully equipped kitchen
Luxury linen supplied
Explore Tutukaka
The local store at Tutukaka has all the everyday essentials you are likely to need.
For a night out, head to the iconic Schnappa Rock or Oceans Resort, both located around the marina. Takeaways are only about five minutes away over the hill at Ngunguru, while the marina offers a beautiful setting for pizza and café dining.
The Tutukaka Marina is also the gateway to a huge range of charter experiences, with vessels available for diving, fishing and sightseeing.
And when you feel like exploring further afield, some of Northland's most beautiful beaches are close by:
Matapouri Bay — approximately 10–15 minutes
Whale Bay — approximately 10–15 minutes
Sandy Bay surf beach — approximately 10–15 minutes
Whangārei — approximately 30 minutes
Whether you spend your days kayaking, swimming, fishing, exploring the coast or simply sitting on the verandah watching the changing light across the harbour, this is a place to slow down and enjoy the extraordinary beauty of Tutukaka.
