Property details

Acorn Cottage - 2 beds, 2 bath + bonus 4 rooms

Acorn Cottage offers a relaxed coastal setup in the heart of McLeod Bay, well suited as a holiday home or for those seeking a flexible living arrangement.

Originally built in the 1950s, the main cottage retains its character with original timber flooring and a straightforward layout, comprising two bedrooms, one bathroom, and open plan living with a heat pump. Elevated above the road, the home captures pleasant water views across the bay, with Mount Manaia forming a natural backdrop. The conservatory provides a comfortable spot to take in the outlook and evening light.

The living area connects to a covered front deck enclosed with sliding café-style windows, creating a practical semi-outdoor space that can be used in a range of weather conditions.

A key feature of the property is the converted garage with workshop, now configured to provide five additional rooms (still permitted as garage with workshop). There is also a fully consented ablution block featuring a kitchenette, bathroom, and separate toilet. This adds genuine flexibility for extended family, guests, or a dual-living holiday arrangement.

There is also a large carport and generous off-street parking, with ample room to accommodate boats, caravans, and additional vehicles securely off the main road. Set on a level 916 sqm site, the section offers usable outdoor space with room for further improvement if desired.

The beach is just a short walk away, offering calm swimming, easy dinghy launching, and fishing. With nature's playground at the forefront, the location and lifestyle in this friendly community is simply fantastic. Many coastal bush walks nearby and Ocean Beach for the surfers, less than 2.5km to Whangarei Heads School (years 1 to 8), The Deck Cafe, McLeod Bay Fish and Chips and the Mt Manaia Club. The Parua Bay Village is 5.8km towards the Whangarei City Centre, which is a 30 minute (25km) drive.
