A Coastal Sanctuary

Rarely available and impossible to forget. Cornwallis is one of Auckland’s best-kept secrets, a place where the rainforest meets the shore and homes are held tightly by those who love living here.

Fantail Cottage is your chance to step into this closely-knitted community and enjoy living in a beautifully preserved character home that glows with warmth and history.

The Home and Grounds

Designed for effortless transitions between indoors and outside, this two-bedroom cottage centres around relaxed, open-plan living, with a recently modernised bathroom and kitchen. From the first ray of sunlight, to the last, Fantail Cottage basks in warmth.

Enjoy coffee in the morning on the elevated deck, as the sun rises over the Manukau Harbour, and in the afternoon, retreat to the private brick courtyard for a sun-drenched lunch or alfresco dinner.

The gardens are an expression of love. This expansive, lush sanctuary features vibrant blooms and an established vegetable bed. For those looking toward the future, the generous land size offers the tantalizing potential for a second dwelling (subject to council consent).

On the lower level of the cottage, you’ll find a spacious, light-filled two-room studio. Whether you are an artist, a work-from-home professional, or a wellness practitioner, this quiet retreat offers the perfect environment for concentration and creativity. It could also be a comfortable 3rd bedroom space. The property is rounded out with a single garage and plenty of off-street parking for four cars.

Life at Fantail Cottage is blissfully measured by the tides and the seasons. Wake to a chorus of birdsong before you swim or take a beach walk. In the evenings watch the sunset cast colour across the sky, as you walk on the iconic wharf. Chat with your neighbours, and enjoy sharing their freshly caught fish, free range eggs, baking and garden harvests. Here, bird song, orca watching, stories, and the quiet rhythm of the rainforest are shared delights.

Fantail Cottage, at Cornwallis Beach, is a restorative retreat where you can balance quiet solitude with a vibrant, caring community. Whether you're seeking a permanent residence or the ultimate weekend beach house, Fantail Cottage is a rare find in a location that truly nourishes the soul.

Your chapter in Cornwallis starts now. Secure your piece of paradise before the window closes.
