Thoughtful design and natural beauty come<br />
together in this elegant, architecturally designed<br />
residence positioned at the head of the<br />
harbour in Governors <strong>Bay</strong>. Originally known as<br />

works that would define their practice.<br />

and three bathrooms can cater to the needs<br />
of busy families or professional couples. The<br />
master suite is a tranquil sanctuary with<br />
stunning water views, soaring Rimu ceilings<br />
and locally sourced elm built-in furniture. A<br />
private retreat where you can wake up to the<br />
sunrise and birdsong in the treetops. Two<br />
smaller bedrooms also share this floor.<br />

bi-fold glazed doors that access the tiled<br />
terrace, and features a stunning tiled ensuite<br />

spaces are designed to maximise the breathtaking<br />
harbour views with seamless transitions<br />

area for convivial entertaining while the dedicated<br />
library boasts floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a<br />
cosy wood stove and French doors to the terrace.<br />
