Historic Cottage by the Water

Much admired and photographed by local community and visitors to Tinopai on the Kaipara Harbour, ‘Candy Cottage’ is looking for a new custodian.
Rich in history, originally Te Komiti Post Office built in 1907, this charming kauri cottage has been lovingly restored and extended in a style which complements the era as well as providing modern convenience.
Perfectly positioned across the road from swimming beach and boat ramp, Candy Cottage will offer you many happy holiday memories for years to come. Enjoy panoramic water views out over the bay to the wharf.
With the architecturally designed extensions, character flows throughout from the moment you enter in what feels like a quaint museum full of artefacts and treasures.
Open plan living with bi-folds to outside, provides options both ends with sea views one side and an intimate deck area with spa pool and bush setting the other. Raised timber ceilings, the skylights and quantity of sliding bi-fold doors provide much ambience with the natural light.
Easy flat concrete driveway entrance to garage with workshop and ladder for loft storage.
A surprise stone staircase leads to a small patch of lawn area with garden shed storage for the deck chairs and mower. Here a delightful nature walk threads through the native bush with various sculptures and shares more elevated views of the water.
Set up as a weekend retreat, this is being sold lock stock and barrel.
