29 Woody Bay Road, Rakino Island, Hauraki Gulf Islands, Auckland

This flat, very affordable 809m2 section offers all-day sun and stunning sea views from Woody Bay beach to the Rakino Channel, Motutapu, Rangitoto, the North Shore and Whangaparaoa Peninsula, as well as a rural backdrop.

The section is at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac (only one neighbour) and backs onto a Department of Conservation reserve, which leads you down to Woody Bay Beach - only a 10-minute walk! - where it is safe for the family to swim and play. If you are keen on fishing, you will love how easy it is to surf, cast off the rocks, and hook up a feed. If that is too energetic for you, then there is the local Rakino Pizzeria by the beach, which is open during the summer months.

There is a very usable - and fully furnished - bach already on site. You can use it as is or as a base while you plan your dream bach. The current bach features a wrap-around deck covered by a pergola. There is also a water tank and a caravan for extra accommodation.

The section is a 20-25-minute walk from the Rakino Wharf, Sandy Bay, and Home Bay.

Rakino is only 40 minutes by Belaire Ferry from downtown Auckland and 20 minutes from Waiheke.

Life is at a slower and more friendly pace in this paradise haven, with everything you would want and more to fulfill your island lifestyle. How much would you pay for something as good as this on Waiheke?
