Why they chose this property
This is our little holiday home and we love spending time down here, so want our guests to experience the serenity and beauty the Bay has to offer. Morning or evening walks along the beach all year round, or perhaps taking the kids to across to Gordon Sprat Reserve to kick a ball around or burn off some energy at the skatepark or playground. Swimming at Papamoa Beach during summer is fantastic, it's our preference as it's less busy and you can find a park without the hustle and bustle of the Mount. You can even surf cast off the beach or do a spot of pipi digging! If you're all beached out, you can always head down to Fashion Island or Papamoa Plaza and you'll find some cool cafes or the infamous Papamoa Tavern - the perfect spot to unwind with a cold beverage of choice. If that's not enough Bayfair is only 10 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Our townhouse is a very new fully furnished townhouse located at Kohu Quarter, a gated residence out the back of a light industrial area, it's only moments from the beach. Enjoy the view from the deck and take in the sights and sounds of the wetlands reserve.
