Description
Set right on Napier Road, in the heart of Havelock North, this is a home that makes everyday living simple. The
location speaks for itself. Just minutes from the village, an easy drive to Hastings, and well positioned for schools, shops and commuting in either direction. It’s central, convenient and consistently popular for good reason. Inside, the home feels comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen sits at the centre of the layout, connecting naturally with the dining and living areas so everything flows the way it should. Large windows draw in natural light, and doors open out to a private low maintenance garden creating an easy indoor-outdoor connection, ideal for relaxed gatherings or simply stepping outside for some fresh air. A nice sense of balance throughout. Three double bedrooms provide flexibility, whether you need space for family, guests or a home office. The master enjoys its own ensuite, while the main bathroom is well positioned to service the rest of the home. It’s a layout that simply works. The internal access garage adds everyday practicality, and the outdoor area is easy to manage, with enough space to enjoy while still being simple to maintain. Currently vacant, the home is ready when you are. Move straight in, modernise over time, or secure a well-located investment in one of Hawke’s Bay’s most sought-after areas. If you have been looking for convenience without compromise, 66B Napier Road deserves your attention. Call Drew Chatterton today on 022 305 5110 for your private inspection.

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.
