Here are some of the reasons why buying property in Orewa Beach is the right decision for you and your family.
Don’t Sacrifice Location
When buying a seaside property in New Zealand, you often have to sacrifice location. However, buying an apartment or property in Orewa gives you the best of both worlds as you do not have to sacrifice an urban location for the beach experience. Orewa is a bustling community filled with plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants, perfect for those who like to get out and about. The community itself also has a lot to offer, with frequent local events and markets happening year-round.
All this is situated right by 3km of golden sand beach, giving you the opportunity to experience an urban lifestyle, right on the beach! You can swim, shop and enjoy a delicious meal in town all in one day at Orewa.
You also aren’t confined to just Orewa. If you fancy a weekend in the big city, it’s just a 15-minute drive to Albany and 30minutes to the Auckland CBD, perfect for a day trip or even a weekend getaway.
Outdoor Activities

In terms of watersports, Orewa has it all. From surfing to stand up paddleboarding, and even kiteboarding, watersports are increasingly popular, and are available for seasoned pros and amateurs alike.
If you prefer land-based activities, Orewa still has something for you. Cycle the Te Ara Tahuna – a 7.5km cycleway around the Orewa Estuary which doubles as a walkway.
