An award-winning coastal home north of Whakatāne has created a beautiful lifestyle for its owners, who love their twin-gabled sanctuary. Whether sitting outside on the sheltered deck or relaxing indoors, the outlook across the waves to Moutohorā (Whale Island) is truly captivating. The Landmark Homes Eastern BOP & Rotorua team, led by franchisees and directors Edward and Angeline Hardie, is proud to have won a regional Silver Award for this thoughtfully designed and expertly executed home in the $1.5m-$2m new home category at the 2026 Master Builders House of the Year competition for Bay of Plenty and Central Plateau. “We’re thrilled that this stunning home has received this recognition,” says Edward. “For us, it’s an honour to be recognised at a regional level among other builders,” he says. “Master Builders has been operating in New Zealand for more than 100 years, and these awards are independently judged to a high standard. Entering the awards helps us benchmark our work while showcasing the beautiful homes we build.” Completed late last year, this beachfront home has all the right spaces in all the right places. Full-width garaging occupies the ground floor, allowing the elevated living spaces above to capture sweeping ocean views. With its pavilion-style architecture, cathedral ceilings, expansive glazing and timber decks extending towards the dunes, this impeccable home has everything needed for premium coastal living. “When the clients approached us, they were seeking a quality new home for themselves where family could also come and stay. “They knew the Landmark Homes reputation for quality homes, efficiency, strong project management and cost control, as well as our commitment to building it right the first time. “They moved in just before Christmas and love it. The biggest reward for us is handing over a completed home that exceeds expectations.” Skylights brighten the gallery-style entry. Beyond lies a contemporary country kitchen with an island bench featuring distinctive greyblue panelling. The indoor dining area extends naturally to a sheltered deck with ocean views. Both the main lounge and master bedroom overlook Moutohorā. Warm timber flooring and neutral interior finishes are balanced by the home’s dark grey panelled timber exterior, framed by solid blockwork. A quiet sitting room captures tranquil views to the west. A large stone feature wall with back-to-back electric fireplaces creates a striking focal point between the living spaces. “We incorporated some personal treasures, including beautiful timber shelving on the feature wall and a refurbished cabinet in the powder room.” This fully electric home features solar power, battery storage, EV charging and integrated passive solar design. With futureproofing in mind, the home also includes a lift for easy everyday access. Edward and Angeline’s team includes experienced Construction Manager John Fretwell and skilled New Home Consultant Alan Basire. Together with the team’s builders, trusted suppliers and sub-trades, they form a highly capable build team focused on delivering quality homes efficiently. Backed by the scale and support of the respected nationwide Landmark Homes group, they provide a competitive effective build option.
