14 Saint Anne Road, Waipu Cove, Whangarei, Northland

Tucked away in the heart of Waipu Cove and just a gentle, easy stroll from the golden sands of one of New Zealand’s most beloved surf beaches, this captivating four bedroom, three bathroom home is a true coastal retreat. Enveloped by mature native bush and serenaded by birdsong and the distant rhythm of the waves, the setting here is nothing short of magical.

Crafted with care and clad in striking vertical cedar, this architecturally styled home is thoughtfully designed over three levels to embrace its serene surroundings. The lower level offers a private and versatile zone, complete with a generous bedroom, family room, full bathroom, and a flexible enclosed outdoor area – all of which flow effortlessly to a sheltered deck and private courtyard. It's an ideal space for guests, teenagers, or extended family.

The central level forms the vibrant heart of the home, where light-filled open-plan living, dining, and a well-appointed kitchen connect seamlessly with an elevated deck. It's a space made for entertaining or simply soaking in the bush-clad views, with natural light filtering through high, raking ceilings and the solid warmth of Macrocarpa timber finishes.

Upstairs, you'll find three peaceful bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a dedicated office – perfect for remote work or extra accommodation. The master suite offers a private escape with a fully tiled ensuite and leafy outlooks, reinforcing the home’s tranquil atmosphere.

Raised vegetable gardens, a meandering stream along the boundary, and the native bush wrapping around the property create an extraordinary sense of privacy and connection with nature. Yet the surf beach is just moments away – the best of both worlds. Start your morning with a coffee from the Cove Café and end your day with a glass of wine as the sunset paints the sky above the hills. Essentials are close at hand with the local dairy nearby, and Waipu and Mangawhai townships are within easy reach for dining, shopping, and community life. Two top-quality golf courses are also just a short drive away.

Whether you're seeking a permanent residence, holiday home, or lock-up-and-leave beach retreat, 14 St Anne Road delivers an exceptional lifestyle in a setting that feels like a private sanctuary by the sea.
