WHAT TO SEE THIS WEEKEND

DESIGNED by Harry Turbott, this elegant country estate boasts a seamless blend of luxury modern living and carefully cultivated landscaping – including Monetstyle lily ponds – along with stunning water views. The agent says it’s a genuinely unique opportunity.

THIS award-winning home enjoys some of Auckland’s most spectacular sea views from its spot above Howick Beach and offers luxury living on a grand scale with numerous living areas, an ultra-modern kitchen, built-in furniture and other clever design features. Multiple outdoor spaces, some covered, allow alfresco dining all year round and it goes without saying that water sports fans will be in their element here.

CLOSE to the waterfront and situated in a gated estate for over 50s (only one person needs to meet this criteria), this stylish, modern north-facing home is beautifully appointed and perfect for full-time or holiday living. It has an entertainer’s kitchen with scullery, large airy living areas and loads of outdoor space.

THIS six-year-old residence in a heritage suburb is a perfect example of modern living with a restful Scandinavian vibe. With four generous bedrooms, it’s perfect for a family and the 522sqm section, complete with extensive outdoor living options, is large by local standards. Chefs will revel in the state-of-the-art kitchen and relaxed, free-flowing living areas complete the picture perfectly, says the agent.

SIMPLE yet stylish, this beachside home in popular Langs Beach features imaginative Pacific-resort inspired de´ cor throughout, befitting its waterside location. The cool, breezy kitchen, dining and living zone opens to a balcony with unimpeded views of Hen and Chicken Islands and Sail Rock, while the bedrooms and bathrooms are also beautifully decorated. The property has a garage along with a large lawn and enjoys easy access to nearby towns for shopping and dining.
