Their search lead to the discovery of a small Lockwood home with an incredible close up vista encompassing Mangonui harbour, boats in the bay, and the potential to create a very special home and garden. This was potentially their ‘forever’ home.
Just months later a nearby house came on the market and presented an opportunity to modernise. The renovation was completed in six months and prepared for market. The timing was unfortunate as the housing market had begun a slow and steady decline so instead of selling the house, it was decided to test the water in the holiday home market. This property was named Mangonui Beach House. It proved a popular holiday option and Richard found himself fielding far more enquiries than he was able to accommodate. This led to seeking out other owners wanting to open their homes as options for holiday makers.
The Taipa Beach House was next, followed a short time later by Coopers Beach House and Cable Bay Beach House. So the familiar story of an opportunity being presented from less than desirable circumstances, proved itself. Richard was soon being contacted by other home owners in the area requesting his management of their properties. The rest as they say, is history…
