Description
Nothing says ultimate kiwi summer like a classic kiwi beach bach...which usually has a big price tag...but not this one! Set off the road just a few minutes drive from the sea and the hugely popular Pourerere beach, highly regarded as a beautiful sandy beach in Hawke's Bay, known for fishing (surfcasting), swimming, picnicking, camping (nearby), and stunning coastal scenery with cliffs, offering a great spot for a relaxing day out or adventure. This quintessential holiday home has been renovated to offer your family many many happy years of holidays and getaways all year round. Set off the road, with space to build a garage for the boat and fishing gear, with room for the rellies to pitch a tent, and placed so you get to enjoy a farm stay feel, while enjoying a magnificent view of the sea at the kitchen sink. Freshly painted inside and out, with a brand new kitchen, new flooring, the convenience of gas hot water and a big laundry room that's also the practical place to drop all the soggy beach towels and sand covered jandals before you step inside. The bathroom is right next door for absolute convenience, to rinse off and refresh after a fun day at the beach. In true kiwi holiday style, the Vendors have added drapes to the interior of the lounge, so with a simple swish of the curtains, voila! Instantly transformed into a 3rd double bedroom. Start every day on the deck, positioned to maximise the very best of the views and also ensure your privacy. A fantastic location, exceptional views at a price you didn't think was possible! Come and see!

Next steps for moving to New Zealand
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
