23 Matakane Street, Waitarere Beach, Horowhenua, Manawatu / Whanganui

Life at Waitārere Beach runs on its own rhythm and this home fits right in. Set on a 497 sq m section with a 100 sq m footprint, this three-bedroom home is an easy match for close-knit families, downsizers ready to simplify, or buyers looking to secure a relaxed holiday home by the coast. It’s the kind of place where weekends slow down naturally and everyday routines feel lighter. Arrival is part of the charm. A sloping driveway leads to a covered entertainment deck where outdoor seating and a grill set the tone early. Sliding glass doors open straight into the open-plan living, dining and kitchen zone, an area designed for togetherness. The wood burner anchors the living area for cooler evenings, while the kitchen layout keeps movement easy and conversation flowing, whether it’s weekday dinners or long, unhurried lunches. Three bedrooms are arranged for comfort and practicality, each with built-in wardrobes and generous windows that keep the interiors bright and warm. The centrally positioned bathroom is accessible from all rooms, making daily life and guest stays simple. Outside, the functionality continues. A large double garage securely houses two vehicles, with additional off-street parking for visitors or beach toys. The adjoining workshop offers a dedicated zone for hobbies, projects, or storage, an often-overlooked bonus for those wanting flexibility without sacrificing space. Within walking distance to the sand or a few minutes drive, this home sits within the heart of the Waitārere Beach community. A much-frequented Four Square, takeaways, café and restaurant are all close by, while the Waitārere Domain and surrounding reserves give kids plenty of room to roam. With straightforward access to Palmerston North and Wellington, this is coastal living that still keeps connections and commutes easy. For buyers seeking calm, community, and coast in equal measure, get in touch with Teresa Haley on 027 242 1720 or Jamie Cook on 020 006 6525 to see how easily this could become your next chapter.
