About this property

Bush backdrop and Bay views

  • Situated just 21km from Whangarei CBD, this tidy 2 bedroom abode awaits your arrival.
    This home is very tidy, compact but spacious, well appointed, with elevated views of the water. Easy indoor/ outdoor flow, roomy private section bordering the bush, yet close to the water. Nestled between majestic Mt Manaia and the expansive Whangarei Harbour, McLeod's Bay is the perfect holiday playground
    Plenty of room to park the boat, and large lawn for children to play safely. Not Wheelchair friendly.

    McLeod's Bay has safe swimming, is great for all water pursuits, boats can be launched from the beach. Whangarei Harbour is renowned for fishing and diving with Whangarei Heads having beautiful East Coast beaches, and is the gateway to off shore Islands.
    There is a store and cafe/ takeaway within the bay.
    A tennis court and numerous walkways and tracks for all fitness levels within short distance. A Service Station is at Parua Bay, (only 8 km away) for fuel, dive and propane, a Four Square, liquor and bakery stores at the shopping center. The Pines Golf course 12 km towards Whangarei.
