It’s not allllll about the gardens on our tour (although this one by Ben McMaster has matured beautifullyyy since these pics were taken!)
Number 5 on our map (explore via our website) is the Takamatua Bay Beach House.
A word from owners; Lance and Kim Ash
“ In 2010, we discovered and purchased an original bach in Takamatua as a retreat from city life and a place to enjoy time with family and grandchildren. While charming and easy-care, the home was dated and limited in space.
In 2020, we chose to rebuild, creating a home that blends seamlessly with its surroundings while embracing the ever-changing views. Our talented team of architect, interior designer, builder, and craftsmen brought the vision to life, while landscape designer Ben McMaster transformed the garden into a peaceful haven that perfectly complements the setting.”
