Time to live the dream with a top apartment

At Whitianga Waterways, Hopper Developments has built an exclusive apartment block which consists of only four dwellings. There is a choice of two or three bedroom apartments (180sqm and 200sqm), all have two bathrooms and a third lavatory and are constructed of permanent materials to ensure occupants have little other than leisure to consider.

There would be very few apartments anywhere that could offer such an ideal lifestyle for boat owners. Imagine yourself waking on a warm sunny morning, pulling back the curtains and being able to look out on to your boat which is moored just metres away in front of your apartment at your own private jetty. The sky looks clear and the water is calm. What a perfect day to go boating.

The best part is, you can decide to go at a moment's notice. No loading up the car and driving to the marina. It's simply a case of jump aboard and go.

The only issue would be 'do we have breakfast here in our luxurious apartment of have it underway while cruising out to find the fish or our favourite secluded bay?'

And if the family prefer to lie in late, you can sneak out and return with fresh fish for breakfast.

There are no lawns to mow or any significant amount of maintenance to contemplate.

Each has its own berth with a shared jetty which cater for craft up to 10 metres.

Each apartment also boasts an 8.5-metre long garage which will house two cars or a larger trailer boat. A shared boat ramp which is only for apartment owners use provides easy access to the water for trailer boat owners.

Fully furnished packages are available from $875,000.

The Moorings on Schooner apartments are located at 5 Pelican Place, and face on to the Schooner arm of Whitianga Waterways.
