25/453 Hibiscus Coast Highway, Orewa, Rodney

Almost beachfront for $959,000

Enjoy the good life and escape to the beach with this two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment at Orewa's iconic beachfront Oceanside complex. The local landmark embraces the seashore and has a distinct Mediterranean vibe, with a large swimming pool and spa complex overlooking the water. This is your chance to experience effortless resort-style living all year round.

Electric gates provide security. Spacious grounds are landscaped with lush tropical gardens and a gate opens directly onto the reserve and sand out front. Apartment 25 benefits from a prime upper-level position, which affords magical sea views out across the pool to the waves crashing on the shore. This charming, north-facing home is immersed in the beauty of the landscape and savours all the sights, sounds and scents of the sea. Vaulted ceilings with exposed timber beams and tiled floors enhance the relaxed, beachy aesthetic inside. The open-plan kitchen, living and dining space flows out to the pergola-covered balcony, which, as well as the sea, showcases views of the Alice Eaves Reserve to the north. Both light-filled double bedrooms are equipped with their own ensuite.

Although the apartment comes with two secure parks, there's little need for a car here as Orewa's vibrant township is just a flat walk along the street or sand. It's filled with a comprehensive collection of shops, services and eateries, as well as public transport options. Your morning coffee, long lunch or dinner and drinks are just an easy, pleasant stroll away.

As well as a beautiful place to enjoy this relaxed beach lifestyle, this apartment also makes an ideal holiday home or rental investment.
