A rare chance exists to secure yourself a luxurious riverside penthouse retreat, just a short stroll from the Whakatāne CBD.

This two-bedroom apartment is on the top floor of the White Isle Apartments complex, sharing the prime position with only two other apartments.

Being the penthouse, it offers a birds-eye view of its surrounds.
It’s been home to its current owner for eight years who, despite always intending it to be his forever home, has decided to head to the Western Bay to be closer to family.

To describe him as a reluctant seller would be an understatement. He absolutely loves everything about his penthouse home – the security, privacy, proximity to town and river, and its expansive views, which extend towards Tauranga in the west, down the Whakatāne River to the Heads and out to  Moutohorā and Whakaari.

As an ex-builder, he considers the complex well designed and built. He had a good feeling about the apartment when he bought it in 2017, and that has only grown stronger over time.

he apartment is north-facing and beautifully sunny with two good-size bedrooms and open plan living which flows through to a generous deck overlooking the river.

With approximately 150 square metres of living space, it’s a spacious apartment that is easily suitable for everyday living. The
décor throughout is neutral and plush with light-coloured walls and kitchen joinery
off-set by dark carpet, bathroom tiles and kitchen benchtop.

The master bedroom offers a walk-through wardrobe and ensuite together with a peaceful river view.  But the current owner – and prospective owners may, too – has chosen to forgo the luxury of a walk-though wardrobe and private bathroom for the scenic benefits of the second bedroom.

At the forefront of the apartment, this sunny room impresses most with its expansive vista and access to the front balcony. Lying in bed here, you are treated to the most fabulous morning and evening views.

There’s a spacious main bathroom and a large kitchen fitted with quality appliances, although you may prefer to wander downstairs to Roquette or onto The Strand and have someone else cook for you. You’re right in the middle of town so you can wine and dine to your heart’s content, without the worry of driving home.

There’s a large laundry at the back of the apartment, off which there is a large storage room. The apartment also has two dedicated carparks.

If you lead a busy life, this apartment is the perfect place in which to chill-out at the end of the day.
