Surrounded by native bush, olive groves, and boutique vineyards, this private holiday home offers sweeping views over Te Whau Bay, enchanting sunsets, and the ultimate in modern comfort. Step inside to an open-plan living area, thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling glass to frame the sweeping sea and rural views.
