Welcome to Bali! Or should that be Hibiscus Coast? This sanctuary north of Auckland merges relaxed Balinese styling with Kiwi building practices and materials, transporting the owners to their very own getaway every day. They couldn’t be more delighted. A resort feel washes over all who visit this tranquil paradise. The choice of cladding and lush landscaping enchance that tropical mood. Inside, hydronic heating beneath engineered oak floors warms the toes when the temperature drops. Lush carpets provide a soft touch in the three bedrooms. Two spa-style bathrooms and open-plan living complete the sizeable 325sqm layout. Artisan touches, such as a bronze mirror splashback, abound in the contemporary entertainer’s kitchen with breakfast island and walk-in pantry. Sunlight streams in through masses of glass, providing lovely passive heating. Or go straight to the source and soak up the great outdoors beside the luxurious swimming pool. Inside, dips come in a freestanding bath with unbeatable water views.
