Lot / Berth 17 – Berth & Apartment Package – Priced at $1.8m
A new benchmark in New Zealand marina ownership has emerged at Mariners Quarters within Whitianga Waterways, with the introduction of a freehold marina berth and apartment package — a compelling new proposition for discerning boaties.
Lot / Berth 17 represents the “complete mariner’s package”, combining a premium freehold marina berth with an architecturally designed apartment overlooking the water. Unlike traditional leasehold marina models, this offering delivers genuine freehold title — providing long-term certainty, control, and a true base to return to.
Designed to accommodate larger vessels, the 22.5m (L) x 7.5m (W) berth offers dependable shelter and smooth accessibility within the waterways. This dual offering signals a shift in marina ownership — evolving from a place to moor, to a fully integrated lifestyle asset.
The north-facing apartment captures all-day sun and elevated views across the berth and surrounding waterways. Currently configured as a one-bedroom residence, with the option to convert to a two-bedroom layout, it offers flexibility for owner use, guests, or extended stays. Ground-level garaging and storage provide practical space for marine gear, equipment, or vehicles.
What sets this opportunity apart is the seamless integration of land and sea. Positioned directly opposite the berth, the marina-style apartment has been thoughtfully designed as an extension of the boating lifestyle — a place to stay, unwind, and remain connected to the water.
With opportunities of this kind rarely available in New Zealand, Mariners Quarters is attracting strong interest from boat owners seeking more than just a berth — but a permanent coastal base to support life on the water.
