THE TITANIC - AN ONEKAKA LOVE STORY
Right in the heart of Golden Bay, this rather special countryside home is known locally, and by all who have holidayed here, as The Titanic. I feel sure many romantic couples have stood on the Juliet balcony and repeated the famous line "look Jack, I am flying", but actually it was named for its sheer size and urban legend regarding Onekaka's Iron Works history.
Located under 15 kms from Takaka and a short walk from The Mussel Inn, the famous bush café/bar, this 7784sqm property is set back from the road, and enjoys a sheltered elevated site bounding the Onekaka Stream. Did someone say Whitebait? For serious fishing trips, the boat ramp is nearby on Washbourne Road. Being central to Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks really opens up the scope for so many enjoyable pastimes, mountain biking and kayaking, swimming and beach walking. Star gazing is extraordinarily good in this dark night sky.
At just under two acres, the land is diverse, with access to the creek for paddling and exploring, and plenty of fruit trees in the orchard by the house. The house has a commanding presence over the land. Upstairs are two spacious bedrooms, that romantic balcony, and a bathroom. Downstairs a further bedroom, plus a wee bunk room, and a family bathroom. The bathrooms have both been recently modernised, replete with porcelain Italian tiles. The dining and farmhouse kitchen are open plan, and the lounge combines a sun lounge at one end and at the other, a cosy sitting area featuring a rare and beautiful open fire, designed and built by local craftsman Chip Williams. Many of the endearing features of this home were added by local craftsmen and women, and the overall feel is of a coastal country retreat.
