65 Grange Road, Hahei, Thames-Coromandel, Waikato

This two storey home brings back the feeling of summers when time moved slower and doors stayed open. With three plus bedrooms and two bathrooms, there is space for family, friends and the kind of guests who arrive for a weekend and stay a week. Two separate living areas mean everyone can find their own corner, just like the holidays you remember. The expansive pergola, currently unconsented and with a Certificate of Acceptance application underway, is made for afternoon card games, shared meals and conversations that drift well past sunset. From here, sea and valley views stretch toward Pumpkin Hill, the sort of outlook that invites a pause and a deep breath. A standalone garage workshop holds beach gear, bikes and the things you cannot quite part with. Set back on a private right of way, this is a place where summer memories feel familiar, and ready to be made again.
