30 Ruby Way Waipu, Whangarei District

Imagine waking to the sounds of the forest. The sound of Tui, the flapping wings of passing Kereru. Then imagine waking to the golden light of sunrise as it gently fills the room, then kisses and warms your face. What a way to start the day.

Located near the top of the Brynderwyn Hills off Massey Rd, the view from here is truly remarkable. A panorama taking in every detail of the bay. The curve of the coast, the Whangarei Heads, the poor knights, and the wonder of the Hen and Chicken Islands rising like sculptures from the deep. But what makes it truly special is the depth of the view, the ribbons of bush and pasture in the foreground painting a lush colourful scene you simply do not see unless up high.

At the crest of its 2.3 hectare blanket of native woodland complete with a meandering stream is a three-bedroom, two-bathroom brick residence that will soothe the soul and put you in touch with what matters in life. The immediate grounds are well set up with attractive plantings, established trees and shrubs, and plenty of vegetable gardens.

Boutique Waipu village is just a 10 km drive and it is 13km to the beach. This is true retreat-style living which you can choose to live every day. Make the choice today.
