Coastal calm & country charm

Looking for the perfect blend of seaside vibes and country calm? Even in the winter months, you'll have the beach all to yourself, with crisp morning walks on the sand and no one else in sight.

Welcome to 1035 Kairakau Rd, a spacious five-bedroom retreat just begging for multi-generational living, a holiday hideaway, or Airbnb adventures. Spread out over roughly 6,090 sqm of private, tree-lined land, there's room for kids to roam, animals to play, and all kinds of outdoor fun—just minutes from one of Central Hawke's Bay's best beaches.

Step inside the main residence to find three cozy bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen and dining area (ideal for family meals), and a generously sized lounge that opens onto a covered patio—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Through an internal door (with its own external access), you'll discover a self-contained flat featuring a large bedroom, open living space, and a separate, well-appointed kitchen—perfect for guests, extended family, or rental income. Need even more flexibility? There's an extra bedroom space with a double room, shower, and toilet, so you can arrange sleeping quarters exactly how you like.

Kairakau Beach is famous for fishing, surfcasting, and surfing. There's also a scenic inlet that's safe for kids to paddle and play. In summer, it's lively; in winter, it's all yours. And if you love sea fishing, you'll appreciate the convenient external hot tap to wash down the boat after a day on the water.

Surrounded by rolling hills and native trees, this spot feels like a peaceful escape, yet you're still well connected—only 45 minutes from Havelock North and 30 minutes from Waipawa. Families will appreciate that Elsthorpe Primary School is less than 15 minutes away, and for work or secondary schooling, Havelock North is a 45-minute drive (with Hastings just a few minutes beyond).

Opportunities like this don't come around often: a spacious, adaptable home just steps from the coast, ready for whatever adventure you're dreaming up. Contact Megan Dallimore today on 021 242 7669 for more details.
