Situated in a prime location at the northern end of Pauanui, you’re just moments from the boat ramp, beach, and estuary — ideal for making the most of the coastal lifestyle. Downstairs, open-plan living combines the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas into a cosy and inviting space. Curl up with a book, stream your favourite shows on the Chromecast-enabled TV, or simply gaze out the windows for a spot of stargazing at night.
