Just steps from the beach, it’s an ideal base for couples, friends, or families with older children wanting simple, comfortable beachfront living. Not suitable for children under 10. The Space: Apartment 8 is arranged to make the most of the elevated position and wide outlook. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area sits at the front of the home, with large windows and shutters framing long views across Onetangi Bay. Natural light fills the space throughout the day, keeping the apartment warm and bright without feeling exposed. The lounge is furnished for relaxed seaside living, with plenty of comfortable seating and a direct view of the water. The dining area sits alongside the lounge, making shared meals easy and keeping the living level connected. The kitchen is full-size with ample bench space, open shelving, and everything needed for simple meals at home. All three bedrooms are located privately off the main living space. The master bedroom has a king bed and receives natural light from the angled windows. The second bedroom has a queen bed, and the third bedroom includes two king single beds, making the layout practical for mixed groups. Two bathrooms with tiled showers and modern fittings make morning routines straightforward. Apartment 8 is on the top floor and can be accessed via a lift or stairwell.
