Backdrops!

Tararua te Maunga, Ōtaki te Awa! At the edge of our daily sight lines is the constant of our Backdrop. In the case of Te Horo, it is the superbly farmed hills, virtually unchanged for three generations.

There is something reassuring and comforting in this ‘familiar’ Backdrop, perhaps it is that it ‘has our back’ against wind and foe?

Similar for Ōtaki residents that ‘lift up thine eyes to the ills t e ma nificent si t of sno on Mt ecto , and t e emini ofile of t e Ta a a eaks Familiar and reassuring. Home.

For Manakau Village it is the Hanawera Ridge, tree covered, and with the permaculture inspired mosaic providing an uplifting vista for the many lifestyle blocks of the area.

For those closer to the coast, it is the sight of Mt Thompson and Waiopehu, and Bannister peeping over the top!

How blessed we are to live in the lea of the Tararuas?

Tidy 504m2 section cradles your potential palace. 110m2 two big bedrooms, two big living areas plus excellent outdoors & patio.

Modern kitchen, single garage converted into a workshop, plus outside room. aint a e to ealise alace otential Excellent location, short walk to Waitohu School.
