679 Hoturoa Street, Kawhia, Otorohanga, Waikato

Looking for an easy-care, lock up and leave holiday retreat or coastal lifestyle? Ideally situated in an elevated position on the edge of Kawhia village, this renovated 1960s cottage offers this in combination with both water and country views.

The open plan layout brings together an updated kitchen, living, bathroom and bedroom space, creating a cosy yet practical interior. Generous decking at both the front and rear provides options for sun or shelter throughout the day, great for enjoying a morning coffee, evening drinks, or quiet time with a book. Large double doors and skylights draw in natural light and enhance the connection between indoors and out. The home was reclad in 2018, with interior modernisation delivering a light, fresh feel that is ready to enjoy.

Positioned on a 756sqm (more or less) freehold section, the property offers ample lawn areas front and back for children and pets or for off-street parking, along with a selection of mature trees, including fruit trees.

A shed attached to the bach provides storage for a small boat, kayaks, fishing gear or tools.

Just a short walk or drive is the village centre for everyday essentials, including a general store, bakery, takeaway shop, restaurant and petrol station. The harbour and beach lifestyle is on your doorstep, offering easy access to swimming, boating, fishing, kayaking and a variety of watersports. Or try your hand at digging your own geothermally heated spa at low tide in the black sands of Ocean Beach. Fishing charters operate year round and there are walks, horse trekking, golf and a rich Maori heritage to be explored.

An appealing option for those seeking a relaxed holiday base, weekend escape or simple coastal living.
