15B Ratau Street, Mahia, Wairoa, Hawke's Bay

Pack the chilly bin, grab the boogie boards and stroll to the beach — life will be a breeze at this three-bedroom bach in central Mahia. Close enough to wander for an ice cream or supplies, yet tucked away in a sunny, private spot with views of Mokotahi Hill from the front, and grass-clad hills behind. Practical in layout, the kitchen, dining and living area flows to a sun-filled deck — perfect for coffee in the morning or winding down after a day at the beach. The bach was relocated here in 2017 and given a clever refresh…partial recladding, insulation, rewiring, painting inside and out, and the addition of a woodburner for cosy winter stays, whilst maintaining and preserving the beautiful native timber floors. The separate utility shed is a real bonus, with a shower, toilet and laundry, plus an outdoor shower for sandy kids and salty wetsuits. Established plantings give shelter and privacy, while the flat lawn provides room for tents, parking or maybe a future boatshed/garage. With nearly all the furniture and furnishings included in the sale, this is an ideal lock-up-and-leave family bach, whether that’s barefoot summers and family barbeques or cosy winter weekends by the fire.
