Mr Jay said the location was perfect for a Sealegs, with the vessel making life on the property even more enjoyable. He said his Sealegs could be purchased alongside one or both of the properties.
“Landing on Mimiwhangata beach and other secluded spots around the area is a breeze with a Sealegs!” he said.
Mr Jay’s daughter Jessica said she had made some of her favourite memories at the property.
“My first visit to Rapata Road was when I was six days old, and I have returned here for 30 years for family holidays. Needless to say, many of my formative childhood memories were created in Oakura Bay,” she said.
“My favourite moments over summer were always about the sea. A daily staple was seeing the boat pull into the bay and excitedly running down the beach to greet Poppa, Mum and Dad, to help unpack the boat, and see the catch of the day!
“Magical walks around the rocks to the mermaid pool enchanted me as a child, and as an adult. There is something magical about the rugged shoreline around the rocks and the serene privacy of taking a dip in the mermaid pool. As a child I would clamber over the rocks to this pool as quietly as possible, hoping to catch a glimpse of a real mermaid.
“Family boat trips to Mimiwhanagata were a must every summer! I have very fond memories of baking and helping nana pack a picnic for the whole family before setting out on a day trip to the beautiful white sand beach.
“Rapata road will forever hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait to see a new family enjoy this home, and create their own memories in its new chapter.”
