Contemporary new home situated absolute waterfront on the magnificent Waiheke Island. The expansive kitchen, scullery, and dining areas are positioned above the sunken lounge and provided a platform to create a feature of the kitchen. Simple white cabinetry was used, which is paired with Petra Grey Granite and finished with blue glass splashbacks and island features. LED lighting features extensively under the shelves plus within the island; not only provides light to the area but imparts drama in the evening.

This 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom home designed by Matz Architects has a prime spot to soak up those dreamy views that make Jacks Point such a desirable location to live. From the Master bedroom and Lounge area look down to the Kingston Arm of Lake Wakatipu, as well as Lake Tewa, the clubhouse and the mountain vista across the lake to Queenstown. From the large kitchen window, gaze longingly at those stunning Remarkables mountains. Oak timber floors throughout the open plan living space, solid oak vanities and fully tiled bathrooms are just some of the high spec features of this gorgeous home. External cladding is cedar around the full home and garage, and a large feature wood burner and spa pool complete the outdoor entertaining area.

An alfresco bathing area takes relaxation to a deeper level — it's about immersing yourself in an intimate environment that is connected to nature. This beautiful, lust worthy outdoor sanctuary features our Haven bath with custom base and views over Rangitoto Island, New Zealand. The perfect place to indulge the senses.

The translucent like quality of the marble island bench becomes apparent in the morning when sunlight shines across it.
