Waiheke Island Property - 8 Omiha Road, Rocky Bay
'Heartsong' is a name that truly encapsulates the essence of this unique Waiheke waterfront property.
While the ambiance is dreamy and hypnotic - the infrastructure is not. Solid weatherboard construction, gorgeous native timber and earthen tiled flooring ensure you are anchored underfoot with solid integrity throughout. You'll appreciate the detail and thought that has gone into creating a very special home in a truly special location, the boatshed alone is an unbelievable piece of living history that has hosted many weddings and special milestone celebrations as well as a daily swim for the current owner and man's best friend. The intimate sea views are evident throughout and the sheltered bay offers perfect swimming, boating and water sport conditions. Generous in scale with lofty ceiling height throughout the bespoke timber kitchen and open living and dining room with open wood fire and heat pump offering year round comfort. On the same level is the stunning master bedroom suite while downstairs offers a further two bedrooms each with private bathroom that both open directly to the garden. A separate cabana permitted as garaging is a useful additional space. Verdant gardens are a lush mixture of ancient Pohutukawas and natives, mature palms and tropicals. The delight at discovering the boatshed with its original rustic charm leaves even the most seasoned travellers spellbound. Offering the option to swim and boat directly from the jetty or explore and enjoy the sandy bay on foot. In addition, for your ultimate boating convenience, the sale includes a registered mooring. An option to purchase the adjacent waterfront character cottage at number 12 Omiha Road is also available, bayleys.co.nz/2151067
Ownership of both properties presents ideal extended family living or a proven income stream as utilised by the current owner. A very considered decision by the owner has allowed 'Heartsong' to present to market, offering a new era of ownership.

Man Friday - 10 Days of Fashion in the City
Man Friday - 10 Days of Fashion in the City.
On Friday 4th March 2016 the High Street District in Central Auckland celebrated Man Friday - a new event that turned the fashion focus onto the fellas for a day as part of Heart of the City's 10 Days of Fashion in the City.
The day kicked off with the Men's Dapper Ride - a pre-work gathering of smartly dressed gentlefolk riding en masse on a brief circuit around the precinct and finished with a coffee from Chuffed.
Larry Woods The Shoeshine Man dispensed humour and free shoe-shines from a pop-up parklet in a commandeered carpark space. Bespoke Barbers using old school cut-throat razor technology offered wet shaves on-street in a traditional barber chair.
Lunch time reading was hosted on the Auckland Libraries Book Bike. Libraries produced man themed books with titles like ‘Knit your own boyfriend.’ And Magnation New Zealand loaned contemporary men’s fashion mags for the stylish man.
Heritage Fashion Tour guide, historian Edward Bennett, introduced people to the stylish buildings in the district and the fashions worn in each period. Fashionista and style icon Patric Seng Photographer led the in-stores Modern Man Tour imparting his well honed knowledge of accessorizing and grooming.
Street musicians set the tone and the relaxed gentleman’s club ambience was enhanced by artist sketching the fashionable set in their deckchairs.
The on-street activities were supported by Auckland Council Design Office as part of the Urban People Places Programme.

ABOUT FANTASY DREAM HOMES
Hey, I can't afford these homes, and maybe you can't either, but it sure is fun to take a peek inside and see what a multi-million dollar home has going for it. All of these homes are at the top end of their real estate market. Come along for this one-of-a-kind virtual tour of spectacular luxury homes.
Along the way, I've learned a few things about buying, selling and owning homes that I want to pass along to you. I've made many, many mistakes that I can help you to avoid, and I've made a good decision or two in my day.
We will look at homes all over the U.S., Canada, Mexico and eventually Europe and the rest of the world. There are so many wonderful homes out there, why should we limit ourselves to one location?
If you're passionate about homes, luxury real estate, architecture, home decor or making the most of your existing home, this is the channel for you. It is “our” community and “our” channel, so let's make it a great place with your help, comments, suggestions and ideas. It’s not about “me”, rather it’s about “us”. Thanks for stopping buy and let’s tour some fantasy dream homes!
Cheers!
