Overview

Mapua History: Home, Income & Landbanking

Two minutes from Mapua Wharf, on a generous 969m2 section, this two-bedroom home comes with two self-contained street-facing units locally known as Laughing Fish House. Built in the 1940s as a wharf workers bach, it combines character, income and genuine development potential in one of the region's busiest tourist precincts. Inside, an open plan kitchen and lounge spill out to a private courtyard and garden, the kind of space made for long summer evenings after a walk down to the wharf and everything it has to offer. The larger of the two bedrooms has been extended by the current owners, giving it a generous footprint, sizeable storage and direct access to the courtyard, with the second bedroom set alongside it. Laughing Fish has been part of Mapua's fabric for years, and its popularity with visitors drawn to the wharf speaks for itself. Whether the new owners keep the units running as short-term accommodation or make them their own, they're already earning their keep. For those thinking further ahead, the land itself is worth a look, with landbanking potential as Mapua continues to grow. Add off street parking for up to six cars, and this is a property that works as hard as its new owners want it to: a family home, an established income earner, or a longer-term development play. This genuine piece of Mapua's history is a rare find. Get in touch to find out more, or come along to one of the open homes, a great chance to spend some time at the wharf while you're here.
