From a shared private wharf to your very own exclusive mooring, getting here couldn’t be easier! Bathed in sunshine and spread across 4,149m², this great property was once the manager’s residence for the Royal New Zealand Yacht Squadron. Purpose-built for hosting, it boasts a flexible split-level floor plan with a spacious central living area and kitchen, flanked by three generously sized bedrooms, each with its own ensuite for privacy and comfort.
In recent years, the current owners have enhanced the property with additional staff accommodation for the Kawau Boat Club, along with holiday lodging for visitors. The result? A package that works for everyone, whether you’re after a permanent island home, a family holiday retreat, staff housing, contractor accommodation, or a sought-after destination for holidaymakers.
Being sold fully furnished, the interior combines rustic character with modern comfort, creating a welcoming, laid-back island vibe. Versatile living spaces easily shift from cozy downtime to lively gatherings, flowing seamlessly outdoors to a natural haven designed for adventure, relaxation, and pure rejuvenation.
Guest accommodation offers a stylish mix of private cabins and bunkhouse-style living, centred around a large entertaining deck complete with communal kitchen and bathroom facilities.
Life here is all about enjoying the waterfront. Fire up the barbecue, sunbathe, watch the kids safely splashing in the bay, or simply soak in the serenity of this special spot. The iconic Kawau Boat Club is only a short stroll away, while the bay itself is a safe, well-loved anchorage for visiting boats. With Kawau ferries calling at the wharf four times daily, seven days a week, and Sandspit just 15 minutes away by private boat, access to paradise has never been simpler.
For those who dream of cruising, the owners’ classic launch Banshee is also available by negotiation.
