847 Matapouri Road Matapouri, Whangarei District

Located along the stunning Tutukaka Coast, this home is nestled beside the picturesque Matapouri Bay. The crocodile house, as it is affectionately called by locals & holiday makers, is a truly one-of-a-kind property that stands out amongst others.

With direct access to the water the property provides residents the opportunity to effortlessly launch kayaks, paddleboards, & other watercraft from the backyard.

With the stunning estuary surroundings & diverse marine life, it's no wonder that the late renowned marine biologist Wade Doek shared his personal experience stating that the estuary right where he & his family lived for some years offered some of the best snorkelling he had ever encountered. The area serves as a breeding ground for various fish species, crustaceans, & also attracts larger species, including rays, in its warm & crystal-clear waters.

The original 1950s cottage offers a delightful & colourful ambience that is often missing in newer homes. The cozy wood fire makes it perfect for the winter months, while the bifold windows leading off the kitchen create a seamless flow to the outdoor entertaining area. With two bedrooms, a family bathroom, & a lovely lounge dining area, this cottage exceeds expectations, providing more than the average family bach experience.

For the convenience of hosting additional family & friends, there is a spacious & well-appointed sleepout with a lovely veranda, offering all the comforts of home.

Situated on a large & secluded section, this property offers ample space for a camper van & boat, with a designated lawn area for parking. Additionally, there is a convenient tool shed for hobbies or gardening, & a carport for housing a tractor or other vehicles.

After being cherished by the same family for many decades, the difficult decision has been made to pass on this beloved home to a new family who will nurture & enjoy it for years to come.
