About the Torbay Community
Torbay is a supportive and friendly community, well served by many groups and organisations. Torbay Village has more than 30 businesses.
Torbays namesake can be seen straight out from Waiake Beach. The Tor is Tapu to Maori and according to legend, a beautiful girl called Moera often sat at the edge of the cliff, singing with the tuis, and weaving mats for her Father, a Maori Chief. One day the edge of the cliff fell away beneath her and she was killed on the rocks below. Moera is illustrated in a mural in the Torbay Shopping Village.
The sandy beach and grassy picnic spot is a safe place to swim, and when the tide is out you can walk around the rocks to 'The Tor' and Northward to Winstones
Cove. There are 3 walks in Torbay varying in length from 15 minutes to 2 hours. All start and end at the village, so you can reward yourself with coffee and a muffin.
Eating
There are a variety of cafes and restaurants available.
Shopping
The Torbay Village has more than 30 businesses. Shops include a pharmacy, cafes, dentist, restaurants, hair salons, bakery, dairy/superette.

Torbay - Do You Have Extended Family? Teenagers?
$549,000
Then this gorgeous cosy townhouse (one of two) is sure to tick all the boxes and properties like this in this beach location are rare.
Solidly constructed in the 70's featuring beautiful original matai flooring and a stunning tasteful presentation, it comprises the following:-
Upstairs: 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, lounge, dining and stunning spacious kitchen with 5 plate gas hob. The master bedroom has ranch sliders leading to a private sun filled balcony
Downstairs: 2 double bedrooms, bathroom, 2nd spacious lounge/rumpus and utility room/laundry.
Put Granny or the teenagers downstairs while the rest of the family lives on the upper level. There are separate entrances for both levels so each can have their own space to spread out in and enjoy. Two new hot water cylinders ensure that there is always a plentiful supply of hot water.
The current owners spared no expense when they were renovating and several of the rooms are double glazed for year round comfort with 3 heat pumps placed throughout the home. Both bathrooms are beautifully modernised with heaters and extractor fans. Sea views to Rangitoto and twinkling city lights at night, north facing, sunny & tucked down a ROW well off the road on a level, easy care, fenced site & room for the trampoline. Large single garage & good off street parking.
Easy care homes like this with not only sea views but also such an easy walk to the best beaches (Waiake/Long Bay and Winstone's Cove), not to mention a short stroll to Torbay Village shops and good schools. Solid homes like this are very few and far between.
A pending job transfer means these owners are on the move - they have done the hard work, the house is ready to go so all you have to do is sit back and ENJOY the fantastic location.
