The spacious kitchen, equipped with a natural wooden island, opens to a balcony with outdoor dining and a gas BBQ. Multiple decks offer serene spots to relax and enjoy the abundant native birdlife, including tui and kereru.

Second Bedroom: Queen-sized bed

The entrance level features a modern family bathroom with a walk-in shower, alongside a laundry area equipped with a washing machine and dryer. An outdoor shower is also available, ideal for rinsing off after a day at the beach.

Te Kereru is a short walk to the beach and cafes, and a brief drive to wineries, shops, and the Ostend weekend market. Please note, due to its design and stairs, the house is not suitable for toddlers and people with mobility difficulties.

Just amazing

If you look at the photos of this property and think that it’s too good to be true …. They are 100% accurate. The house is simply amazing. I’m not sure who the architect was who designed it but they must have been an eccentric genius 😄 I’m hoping we can stay there again !

Amazing architect home quiet area perfect distance to beach

We would stay there again and already recommended it to friends. Beautiful setting in the trees with the bird songs and incredible views and light. The inside is perfect with a well appointed kitchen and gorgeous living room. The distance to beach is a 10’ easy walk

Stylish and comfortable

We had a great week enjoying the many features of the property. Really appreciated how well set up the kitchen was. We had one really hot day and retreated to the deck over the garage. Would have been good to have had some dedicated outdoor furniture there. Otherwise we lacked for nothing.
