Nestled on the northern shore of the Waitematā harbour, the latest release of Belmont’s much-lauded Oneoneroa development is complete, with 16 brand-new homes ready and waiting to move into.
Named ‘Mahinga Kai’, this collection of stylish residences has been masterfully designed to offer the very best in high-quality, contemporary living and includes a choice of two, three and four-bedroom homes. These unique properties cater to a wide variety of lifestyles, from entry level buying right through to large and luxurious family homes.
Values-based and local developer
The first major Tāmaki Makaurau residential property development headed by local hapū, Oneoneroa is the outcome of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Properties’ vision to build premium quality homes and a strong, vibrant community. And as such, strong iwi values like kaitiakitanga (protecting the natural resources and taonga), whanaungatanga (fostering meaningful relationships) and manaakitanga (caring for each other) are embedded in their approach as a developer.
The people of Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei have planted their roots deep in Tāmaki Makaurau for centuries. Here’s an opportunity for the astute buyer to plant theirs on the very edge of our city’s greatest taonga, the beautiful Waitematā harbour.
The story behind the names
Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei Properties has made it a priority to restore some of the original ingoa (names) in the area. Oneoneroa, known locally as Shoal Bay – oneone meaning ‘sand’ while roa means ‘long’. It refers to the long arm of the peninsula encircling the bay, and the familiar shimmering sandspit revealed each day by the outgoing tide.
Similarly, the name Mahinga Kai is in reference to the natural resources in the local area used for sustenance, an acknowledgment of gathering and cultivating kai (food) that traditionally took place. In a modern-day context, the local area continues to provide for the community with the stunning beaches peppering the shore and bountiful green spaces.
The community
The first residents of this thriving community moved in following the first mandatory lockdown back in 2020. The community spirit has gone from strength to strength and now boasts a mix of people living in the 26 impressive and stylish homes. As a testament to the fantastic lifestyle on offer, all those who purchased properties in the initial stages are still living in them today. Young couples have grown into young families, with the next generation of Oneoneroa residents creating fond memories to look back on.
Premium design and quality build
Embracing Eversleigh Road and Lowe Street, the well-planned, north-facing location means that each freehold home is positioned for optimum light, sun and privacy, with some even enjoying expansive city, harbour, and bridge views. Reputable design firm, Context, was responsible for the impressive modern designs and unlike other terraced homes, these are only two levels, not three. Considered use of space provides generous, well-balanced proportions and plenty of storage.
A neutral palette of engineered oak flooring, wool carpets and bright white walls creates a relaxing, inviting ambiance inside. Kitchens feature high-quality Fisher & Paykel appliances and induction cook tops, and all bathrooms have underfloor heating. Keyless entry and heat pumps ensure comfort and security. All living areas flow out to fenced flat lawns and landscaped gardens, with the family homes enjoying large back yards with multiple alfresco living zones.
