24 Saint Anne Road, Waipu Cove, Whangarei, Northland

Set just moments from the sand, this north-facing, two-storey 1970s beach bach delivers an outstanding coastal lifestyle, anchored by some of the most captivating views in Waipu Cove.

Upstairs is where the magic happens. Hardwood floors flow through the open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen, while expansive glass doors and picture windows draw the ocean in, creating a constant connection to the horizon. From here, the outlook stretches across the water to Whangarei Heads and the Hen & Chicken Islands, with rolling waves clearly visible as they break along the beach below — a front-row seat to check the conditions before deciding whether it’s a surf or fishing kind of day. The view evolves constantly: sunrises bring soft morning light across the sea, while in the late afternoon the lowering sun reveals every ridge, curve and shadow of the islands.

Three bedrooms are located on this level, including a master with sea views and ensuite, alongside a family bathroom and separate laundry, making the home both practical and inviting for everyday living or holidays.

Downstairs offers excellent versatility, with a large storage room currently used for guests, plus a double garage and a lined workshop that now serves as a rumpus room - ideal for kids, surfboards, bikes or relaxed evenings after the beach.

The easy-care, lock-up-and-leave section suits both permanent living and weekend escapes. Walk to Waipu Cove’s family-friendly, patrolled surf beach, the local dairy and café, or enjoy a short drive to Waipu township or Mangawhai for golf, dining and amenities - all just 90 minutes from Auckland.

Properties with views of this calibre, in such a tightly held coastal pocket, are rarely available. For beach lovers, surfers and families seeking a true seaside escape, this is a destination worth acting on.
