Home description
Beachfront Breakaway 2 is a ground level apartment 10m from the white Clarks Beach sands and a perfect retreat for a couple or the whole family. The beach runs for a kilometre east and west of the property, safe for family swimming and excellent for all water sports from flat calm kayaking to windsufing and parasailing. You can't beat the taste of a fresh schnapper, smoked gurnard or maybe a few bbq'd scallops with a dob of garlic butter. Enjoy a round of golf on 1 of NZ's top 10 country courses, most holes have beautiful water views and weekend meals are available. Like the golf course the boat ramp is only a minutes drive where Clarks Beach Harbour Cruises can show you around all the different bays. Arrangements can be made for a wedding stop at one of the lovely beaches. Papakura or Pukekohe shopping centres are 20mins away, here is where you buy your best price groceries. There is a local 4 square 5 minutes up the road and a butcher 10 minutes away. Dont feel like cooking, award winning Chin Wags restaurant and Buenos Aires (fine South American cuisine & pizzza) are only a 400m walk. In the same block you'll find the local fish'n'chip shop, hairdresser, dairy and wholesale alcohol.

The North Island region
Clarks Beach is a rural area with many dairy farms and horses 50 minutes south of Auckland City central business district. The weather throughout the north island is mild: summer temperatures from 20-32 degrees celcius. The East cape (Te Araroa and Hicks Bay) are the first in the world to see the sunrise. Early on a fine morning overseas visitors flock to the Cape Lighthouse to take photos.
Winter is also mild 10-20 degrees celcius. It doesnt snow at Clarks Beach but a drive to Mt Ruapehu will see dropping temeratures. The mountain is great for beginners to extreme skiiers and snow boarders.
2 1/2 hours from Clarks Beach is Rotorua with the hot mud pools and geysers. Whakarewarewa is a major tourist attraction where you can learn about the Maori (indigenous people of NZ), their language, weaving, culture, food, song and dance. When you want to relax take a dip in a bubbling mud pool perfect for rejuvenation.
The whole NZ coastline has beautiful beaches all great for fishing, some excellent for surfing, others safe for family swimming.
Wellington at the bottom of the north island is the windy city and capital of NZ. Dont miss a visit to Wellington if you enjoy the fine arts and theatre.
