41 Ocean View Road, Hatfields Beach, Auckland 0931

There are homes that occupy land.

And then there are homes that command the horizon.

Mai Moana - "Ocean View" - is an architectural meditation on elevation, proportion and permanence. Positioned high above the Hauraki Gulf, with rare and privileged access to the beach below, this is a coastal residence conceived not merely to capture views, but to converse with them.

From its commanding cliff-top vantage, the home reads as both composed and elemental - a refined Plantation-inspired farmhouse articulated through crisp geometry, expansive glazing and a restrained coastal palette. The exterior, finished in Dulux Ohai, settles effortlessly into its landscape - soft, tonal, deliberate - allowing the drama of sea and sky to remain uninterrupted.

Architectural Intent

The conceptual vision by Andy Coltart is evident in every line and proportion. Volume is used judiciously; space is allowed to breathe. Vaulted, white-beamed ceilings elevate the principal living domain into something cathedral-like, yet inherently warm. Light enters not as glare, but as a carefully filtered presence - morning softness over the water, afternoon gold across timber floors, evening shadow lines that sharpen the home's silhouette.

Full-height glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and ocean. Doors recede. Verandas extend. The horizon becomes part of the living room.

This is not coastal styling.

It is coastal architecture.

Materiality & Craft

The kitchen and walk-in wardrobe - masterfully executed by Marton Lee - are studies in restraint and craftsmanship. Clean planes, seamless joinery and considered storage create an environment of quiet luxury. An instant boiling water feature at the breakfast bar speaks to effortless daily living - small, precise luxuries embedded within the design.

Every element has been resolved with clarity. Nothing shouts. Nothing competes. The home's luxury is expressed through alignment, proportion and the absence of compromise.

Spatial Experience

The upper level is the ceremonial heart - open, expansive, oriented entirely toward sea and sky. Dining and living zones unfold beneath vaulted ceilings, anchored by a gas fireplace that brings warmth and intimacy to vastness. The master suite is positioned as a private observatory - a place to wake with the tide and retreat with the moon.

Below, a secondary living domain provides autonomy and fluidity - additional bedrooms, guest accommodation, a kitchenette and outdoor access - ideal for hosting, multigenerational living or refined separation when desired.

The floor plan is not simply functional; it is orchestrated.

The Rarity of Duality

Cliff-top homes command perspective.

Beach homes offer proximity.

To possess both - elevation and direct access - is exceptionally uncommon.

From Mai Moana, marked pathways descend to Hatfields Beach in moments. The sand below feels almost private, yet the home remains sovereign above it. This duality defines the offering: commanding yet connected, elevated yet grounded.

A Coastal Estate of Permanence

Situated moments from Orewa Village and within easy reach of Auckland, Mai Moana offers retreat without isolation. It is a residence for those who value architectural integrity, position and legacy over trend.

This is not simply a waterfront home.

It is a clifftop estate of enduring stature.

A generational holding in one of the coast's most tightly held positions.

Mai Moana is architecture shaped by horizon -

and reserved for those who understand the difference.
