From the listing agent
In the words of Rae Ocean, Ray White - Whangarei
When was the last time a slice of Whananaki became available? We'll tell you, only four properties changed hands in the past year. This is one of the most tightly held pockets of coastal New Zealand, and for good reason. With its raw natural beauty, privacy, and sweeping sea views, opportunities like this are few and far between.
Newly subdivided from a larger estate, Lot 1, 361 Rockell Road offers you a blank canvas with all the groundwork already done. Set high on Onekainga Hill, this 4,000 sqm (approx. one acre) section boasts panoramic views and full-day sun. From the moment you turn onto your brand new concrete driveway you'll feel the freedom of space, elevation and possibility.
The Details:
- 4,000 sqm of freehold land with breathtaking sea and rural views
- Exclusive position above neighbouring homes, total privacy and serenity
- Concrete driveway in place, just bring your vision
- Minimal covenants and maximum potential
- Rich in local history, with archaeological and cultural significance protected
- Close to multiple beaches, tracks, and summer swim spots
- Tightly held area, this is one of the rare few on the market
Whananaki isn't just beautiful - it's nostalgic. It's where generations come back, year after year. Whether you're dreaming of a family hideaway, a future holiday home, or a legacy to pass down, this is your chance to create something lasting.
The vendors are retaining the neighbouring property, so you'll be in good company. Enquire now for the full information pack, including consent documents and archaeological evaluations.
Secure your spot in Whananaki's most exclusive stretch of coastline, before someone else does.

Site aspect

A north-facing fall suits passive-solar orientation
Distances are from the parcel centroid to Topo 1:50k features (LINZ); site aspect is approximate, from the 1m LiDAR contours. Road frontage is a proxy — centreline intersection with parcel boundary, not a legal access measure. Confirm setbacks with a district-plan check before purchase.
