787 Whangaparaoa Road Manly, Rodney

Perched high above Arkles Bay, this striking five-bedroom clifftop retreat delivers front row 180 degree views across the Hauraki Gulf, an ever changing canvas of light, sea, and sky that feels almost cinematic.

Designed to embrace its spectacular setting, the home unfolds across sun drenched, open plan living zones that spill onto wide wrap around decks. Floor to ceiling sliders dissolve the boundary between indoors and out, creating a seamless connection to the ocean from every angle. From morning coffee to evening wine, every moment here comes with a view.

Upstairs, the master suite is pure sanctuary. Wake to the shimmer of the bay through picture windows, soak in the spa bath with bifolds open to the sea breeze, it's a daily dose of coastal luxury. A private balcony, walk in wardrobe and ensuite complete the retreat, offering a sense of calm that's hard to leave. Is the second upstairs room a fifth bedroom, a second living, or a work from home space? It's your retreat, it's your decision.

Practicality meets perfection. Smart sensor lighting, abundant storage, and thoughtful design details make life here effortless. There's a place for everything, under stair wine storage, multiple cupboards, a laundry space and an oversized double garage with sea views toward Rangitoto. Add two garden sheds, off street parking, and you've got space for every toy, tool, and kayak.

Step outside and follow the private garden walkway through lush greenery to hidden nooks for reading or reflection. Pick your own lemons, snip bay leaves for dinner, or grow your own vegetables, this is coastal living that feels grounded and real, yet totally indulgent.

Electric gates and easy landscaping create a sense of privacy and security, while the council maintained path next door leads directly to the beach and lapping waves of Arkles Bay.

When you're ready to reconnect, you're moments from great local cafes, restaurants, schools, and shops, everything that makes the peninsula feel like a true community.

From long summer lunches and sunset drinks to quiet mornings spent watching the tide wash in, this is coastal life without compromise. Peaceful, private, and utterly captivating.
