The Estuary is considered to be a feeding ground for orca looking for tasty rays to feed on. Cames Road is located on an Eastern facing ridge looking out towards the sea to the Hen and Chicken islands and the Great Barrier Islands.

After an easy 1.20 hour journey North on SH1 past Warkworth turn right then a cross country run through rolling hills, bush and farmland arriving at the Eastern end of Cames Road. (If you decide to take the Wellsford road, there’s an excellent cafe on the right called Wazzas, opposite the Caltex petrol station).

The 3rd bedroom is separated from the main house by an internal hallway comprising a living room with washing machine and kitchenette, separate bedroom and ensuite. It has its own deck and parking space in front so could be used as an office or practitioner space or for the teen needing their own quarters!

There is a 15 square metre lined and insulated cabin near the entrance to the property which could also be used as an office or sleep out..The whiteware and furniture can all be included so just bring your personal things and move in! Imagine listening to the distant coo of the Ruru (owl) at night, or hearing the overhead wing flap of the Kereru (wood pigeon) as it flies past to its home in the surrounding woodland. Tui birds love to feast on the flax stalks and the Piwakawaka (fantail) thrive in the Totara trees off the driveway.
