Please note: The auction is now Thursday 9th December at 1pm live online. From this divine sun-drenched elevated site in Omiha you'll command two bays - Rocky Bay and Karaukarau Bay. You'll easily spy which of your friends is approaching to tie up on your mooring and join you for uninterrupted vistas on a sheltered wrap around deck. From sunrise the view east takes in the deep green of pohutukawa-lined Rocky Bay, the celebrated boatsheds and Whakanewha Regional Park, while at sunset the expansive view west to Auckland is framed by majestic palms. This simple and sturdy Initial style two-bedroom bach is ready for your personal finishing touches. It's a heavenly hideaway far from the crowds, but close enough for a 5 minute trip to top up the rum supplies or pick up tartare sauce for a freshly caught snapper supper. A very tidy open plan kitchen and living area will play host to family gatherings. Full height windows in the master bedroom offer fabulous views as you wake up to tui, kaka and keruru. The location of the bathroom means you can shower off the salt and sand, while in the laundry the towels get a rinse as they dry after a dip in sheltered Rocky Bay. Access is via a new set of stairs and a formed path from Pohutukawa Road, just opposite the iconic Rocky Bay Memorial Cruising Club jetty and boat stand. It's worth being a member of this friendly club with a tiny annual fee of $25! The practical details: polished particle board floors, a 5,000L water tank and a 135L hot-water cylinder, separate shower and WC, built-in wardrobes, functional stainless steel kitchen bench tops (perfect for filleting fish) and easy maintenance. But back to how you'll enjoy popping down to the Omiha Hall for a coffee and toasted sandwich on the weekend and fishing from your mooring for that evening supper. Note for dog lovers too, Rocky Bay beach is accessible all day, every day of the year. Don't miss out on this fabulous beachside escape. This fantastic property will be auctioned on 9 December 2021 unless sold prior.
