I moved to Beachlands about 3 months ago and I am in love with the area. Every afternoon I drive home to the beach... what's not to love?! The feeling of peace and tranquility that comes across as you drive out of the rat race of the city and towards the Pohutakawa Coast is priceless. The view from my living room window is of Waiheke Island - in its entirity and to the left I can see Rangitoto. On a summer's day the view is quite spectacular!
The area comprises Pine Harbour, Beachlands, Maraetai and Omana and we are blessed with a beach in each town. Every one has its own unique feel and imparts a different experience so you can take your pick according to your mood.
