Victoria Road North, Onetangi, Auckland

There are many 'so so' baches and then there are baches that are simply a lovely, and updated, reflection of a bygone era of Waiheke being simply a summer paradise. Well, welcome to paradise.

True to its '50s origins, right down to the native timber floors combined with a reminiscent exterior colour scheme, this bach is true to its original feel. The modern upgrades are equally evident, from the kitchen to the tiled underfloor heating in the bathroom, as well as a heat pump for those winter days plus a log burner for ambience.

The decking and grounds are well above average, as is the easy-level entranceway with plenty of off-street parking. With western orientation to enjoy the sun, it still doesn't miss the eastern morning sun.

Best of all, the beach is an easy and safe walk down the road, and from there, it's just a flat walk to the local cafes - at under 800 metres away, 38 Victoria Road North is definitely in the "beach zone" featuring 2 bedrooms plus (see floorplan).

Fastidiously cared for by the current owners - now it's your turn to be the next caretaker of this legacy property.
