Hawke’s Bay has lots to offer buyers. Beautifully restored older homes have huge appeal, as do more trendy modern dwellings.
52 McDonald Street, Napier
This must surely be one of the very best renovations on offer anywhere, this week. A classic 1920s bungalow has been completely renewed and rejuvenated with a clever and seamless mix of old and new. The large, well-equipped kitchen has space for the cook, as well as friends and family, and the generous living area opens onto the sunny deck outside. The décor is tasteful and chic (check out the bathrooms) and with the section being fully fenced and gated, this is the ideal spot for a young family – especially as it is close to good schools.

746 Wimbledon Road, Porangahau, Central Hawke’s Bay
This beautiful classic bungalow on a generous 15,800sq m, 8 minutes from Porangahau village, offers the ultimate in rural living. It’s been lovingly maintained throughout its life and period and modern features meld seamlessly together. With six bedrooms and three bathrooms it’s perfect for a large family but it could also lend itself to a home-based business, such as B&B. The expansive terrace outside is sun-drenched all through summer and the gardens are charming and traditional. A stream runs through the property and there’s grazing space for a few pets. Forget the rest of the world and make yourself at home here.
1/22 Hospital Terrace, Napier
Close to the botanical gardens and trendy Ahuriri with its cosmopolitan mix and of shops, restaurants and cafes, this chic apartment is very well-located indeed. It’s been designed for both comfort and style, with three double- bedrooms, modern well-appointed bathrooms and a bright, sunny kitchen, dining and living area. The port and sea views from your large balcony are wide and ever-changing and you’ll enjoy sitting quietly and watching cruise ships sailing in and out of the harbour. Decorated throughout in pleasant, pastel tones this is the sort of dwelling that gives you an all-year-around holiday vibe.
