Nestled in the historic heart of the Hokianga, Rawene is one of New Zealand’s oldest and most charming harbour towns, known for its artistic flair, strong community, and rich heritage. From the iconic Boatshed Café on the water’s edge to the local art gallery, golf club, and boutique shops, life here flows at a peaceful pace. There is also a hospital, St John’s Ambulance Station, a Police Station, a volunteer Fire Station, a 9-hole golf course and golf club, a popular campground, and a petrol station with a mechanic-run garage alongside. Also, there are churches to attend, many clubs to join, a local library and gym.

There is a small mini superette that also doubles as the Post Office and a world class puzzle shop. Enjoy small-town warmth, stunning harbour scenery, and the convenience of essential services including a playcentre, a primary school and a polytechnic campus, plus a ferry link across the harbour. Rawene is a place where everyone knows your name, a genuine community with a big heart.

This beautifully finished four-bedroom home offers a rare opportunity to live right in the centre of town while enjoying complete privacy and incredible water views from nearly every room. North-facing and sun-filled all year round, it combines timeless character with modern comfort, including original art-deco light fittings, a contemporary kitchen and bathrooms, a sunroom, and both open-fire and ducted air-conditioning for year-round comfort.

Generous living spaces flow to a private balcony where you can unwind and take in the sweeping views of the harbour, perfect for morning coffee or sunset evenings. Outside, the well-kept garden offers space to relax, garden, or entertain, with a carport and ample parking. The expansive section even offers subdivision potential, making this home a smart lifestyle investment.

Moments from cafés, galleries, and the ferry, this home captures the very essence of Rawene — character, community, and coastal charm in one of the Far North’s most picturesque settings.
