39 Strathnaver Waikawa beach, Waikawa Beach, Horowhenua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Here's a special home that feels stitched into the landscape. With its elevated perch above Waikawa Beach, two bedrooms, one bathroom and sweeping decks that track the sun all day long, it’s tailor-made for those who crave both retreat and connection. Perfect for couples or anyone wanting a weekend hide away that doubles as a forever home.

Step into the open-plan kitchen and living zone, where wide sliders spill onto a wraparound deck. This is the house’s vantage point, blurring the line between inside and out. Gather around the fire in winter, or throw the doors wide in summer and let the sea air thread through. Whether it’s a long lunch, a quiet book in the afternoon light, or dinner with the ranges silhouetted in the distance, the space flexes to fit the rhythm of your days.

Two restful bedrooms sit tucked along the hall, both bathed in light and scaled for comfort. The bathroom is smartly placed between them, practical for everyday life yet designed to serve weekend guests just as well. Each space is pared back, easy to live in, ready to take on the imprint of its next owners..

Outside, 2,044m² of land wraps itself around the home, giving you both privacy and possibility. Raised garden beds hint at self-sufficiency, while the oversized double garage, with its own fireplace, adds surprising versatility. It’s more than parking: it’s a workshop, a retreat, a hangout space when the evenings cool. Driveway access is generous, with three additional carparks ensuring there’s always room for visitors.

Waikawa Beach is just far enough from the city to exhale, yet close enough to commute when you need to. Morning walks to the estuary, weekends on the sand, evenings with uninterrupted sky above: this is lifestyle stripped back to its essentials. Matched with Levin and Otaki nearby for conveniences, and express-ways linking you north and south, you get the best of both solitude and accessibility.
