Whanarua Bay is often called the "prettiest bay on the east coast", and this unique property offers two homes on one title: The 2nd self-contained dwelling is currently set up as a lucrative high-end BnB, but it could also be used as a business premises, to house extended family, or as a double holiday home option (go in with a friend). Accommodation facilities are highly sought-after in the area. The main house is architecturally designed and offers a unique studio aesthetic. It has a bathroom and separate laundry, and offers spectacular views of the gardens, dramatic flood-lit Pohutukawas, and out to the sea beyond. The second dwelling is a sizable modern studio surrounded by lush bush and completely private from the other dwelling - the expansive and elevated decking is a great place to bird watch as you feel as though you are relaxing up near the treetops. This dwelling is currently operated as a very successful accommodation unit called Sheldrake BnB. Stuff reporter Brook Sabin recently quoted it as the "best place to stay on SH35". There is extensive parking at the property - enough for multiple boats, cars or campervans - as well as a single garage, carport, container and extra shedding space under the studio. A totally unique option worth your serious consideration - viewing is advised to experience the peace and serenity of this magical spot. • Would suit retired or semi-retired couple or couples • 2 dwellings: one currently set up as a very successful BnB • Each home completely private with stunning views • Architecturally designed and totally unique main house • Huge area for parking • Single garage + carport + 20ft shipping container • Rain water tanks as well as community water scheme • Established gardens and old-growth bush Read more about the BnB experience here: https://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/destinations/nz/gisborne/301027464/sheldrake-bnb-this-tree-house-escape-is-hidden-on-east-cape
