18 Mariner Cove, Tinopai, Kaipara, Northland

When we first set eyes on 18 Mariner Cove Road, we knew it was something special. Unlike the typical bach in Tinopai, it is a beautifully crafted, modern home that requires no additional work—making it a rare gem in this coastal community. We you buy this property your visits will be without hassle, no ongoing maintenance just sit back and relax or go fishing. The only work will be mowing the lawns. The sea views, the quality craftsmanship, and the spacious layout immediately won us over, and we felt at home the moment we walked into that big, open kitchen.

Key Features:

• Quality Design and Build: This isn’t just a holiday home; it’s a well-built, modern residence designed for comfort. With three bedrooms and one bathroom, the house flows beautifully from the main living space to the covered deck, which we’ve used year-round. From the master bedroom, you can step right out onto the deck, where the views feel like you’re in a peaceful retreat among the trees.
• Outdoor Space for Play and Relaxation: The backyard is something we’ve truly enjoyed – it’s big enough for everything from volleyball games to gardening. We even harvested over three dozen pumpkins last summer! It’s a space where we could entertain, grow, and relax.
• Ample Storage and Workspace: Beneath the house is a generous storage area and workroom – perfect for storing fishing gear, Kayaks, tools, games or anything else needed for a coastal lifestyle.

Memories and Moments: Some of our favourite memories here have been around the sea and nature. Fishing trips have brought in some big catches, from trevally to snapper, and we’ve even had orcas join us on the water. And the Pohutukawa trees are breathtaking when they’re in bloom; their sweet scent fills the air. Walking along the beach or just sitting on the deck with friends, taking in the view, are experiences we’ll always cherish.

Location Highlights: Tinopai has everything we need for a relaxed coastal lifestyle. It’s close enough to places like the National Kauri Museum and Paparoa’s charming cafes, and the area itself is perfect for those who love fishing, walking, or simply relaxing by the sea.

Why We’re Selling: We never thought we’d part with this home, but with our family and a new project waiting in Whangarei, we’ve made the difficult decision. If circumstances were different, we wouldn’t let this home go.

If you’re looking for a coastal retreat that combines modern living with a true sense of relaxation, 18 Mariner Cove Road is worth experiencing for yourself. Reach out if you’d like more details or to arrange a visit – we’d love to show you around this wonderful home.
