Ever dreamed of escaping Auckland without actually going very far? Just 15 minutes by boat from Sandspit, this exceptional waterfront retreat offers the ultimate island lifestyle in one of Kawau Island's most tightly held bays.
Step off the ferry onto a private all-tide wharf and stroll to the property or park your Sealegs next to the house. No traffic. No crowds. Just the sound of the sea, spectacular sunsets, and a colourful procession of yachts sailing past your front door.
Much like neighbouring Vivian Bay, Pembles Bay is a rare coastal enclave where properties are retained by the same families for generations. Opportunities to secure waterfront ownership here are few and far between.
Bathed in year-round sunshine, the home is nestled within a sheltered semi-tropical setting, surrounded by lush established landscaping, mature fruit trees and thriving bananas, creating a private oasis that feels worlds away from the mainland. Native birdsong, year-round greenery and the gentle coastal climate combine to create a truly relaxing environment.
Positioned to capture breathtaking views across Kawau Bay, this beautifully renovated home has been comprehensively transformed with quality and comfort at the forefront. From new triple-glazed joinery and substantial recladding to extensive premium Vitex hardwood decking, new water tanks and UV filtration, no detail has been overlooked. A high spec custom main kitchen, fresh flooring, stylish interior upgrades, complete rewiring and replumbing, together with a full repaint inside and out, ensure the hard work has all been done. Simply arrive, unpack, and relax.
Designed for effortless entertainment and extended family living, the property offers five bedrooms, five bathroom/toilets and three kitchens across versatile accommodation, including separate guest quarters and an elevated self-contained studio.
Spend your days fishing some of the Hauraki Gulf's best waters right from your doorstep. Drop a line off the wharf for a snapper, launch the boat within moments, swim safely in the bay with your children, or sit back and enjoy the ever-changing harbour activity from the expansive sun-soaked deck. Watch yacht races sweep across the bay, admire the colourful parade of passing boats, the regular passage of pods of dolphin and orca… and finish each day with breathtaking sunsets reflected across the water.
With no lawns to mow and minimal maintenance required, this is the perfect lock-up-and-leave escape, whether for weekends, holidays, Airbnb income, shared ownership or permanent island living.
