    Huia

    Huia is a western coastal settlement in West Auckland, New Zealand and forms part of the Waitākere Ranges Regional Park. The majority of houses in Huia are located along Huia Road, which arcs around Huia Bay and heads west towards Little Huia.

    Construction on the Upper Huia Dam began in 1924, leading to wider development in the area as houses were constructed for workers' families. Material for the dam was brought by barge to Huia, and then by tramway to the dam site. The dam was completed in 1929, leading to an exodus of families who worked on the dam leaving the area. The tramway remained operational until the 1960s. After the construction of the dam, the area became popular with holidaymakers and retirees. As the Huia valley began to reforest, this fuelled a movement to develop the ranges as a regional park. The Centennial Memorial Park, a portion of which would later become the modern Waitākere Ranges, opened in 1940.

    By the 1960s, a community of artists and poets had developed at Huia. In 1971, the Lower Huia Dam was constructed adjacent to the township.

    Where The Wonderful Things Are

    Otherworldly scenic beauty are insufficient words to describe the intense serenity and exquisite sensory experience that is standing on the deck at 55 Whatipu Road. Each and every room enjoys a view of layered green, and the resonance of the birdsong is unable to be overstated.

    A long-held home, this abode was crafted by a family of standing in the area, and offers, thanks to their foresight, a contemporary open plan layout through the living zone, and a quaint cosiness to the children’s rooms with their lovely emerald outlook. Plenty big enough to accommodate any age, while serene, they are no match for the peerless primary suite which opens to an expansive canopy view and floods of light.

    Perfectly functional currently, it will bloom with renovation. The bones are all there, and sympathetic to modern family priorities like a generously sized kitchen, single level entertaining, and the delightful expansive sense of space that only a high ceiling can achieve. Downstairs is an extensive flexible area that offers endless possibilities.

    If you are blessed with little people, this is the most spectacular setting for them to explore, with endless opportunities to build huts, play hide and seek and engage with nature, from towering native trees through to freshwater streams. Moments from the beachfront, there is a certain magic being able to explore as a child with a sense of autonomy.

    For adults, particularly those given to a mindful gentle way of life with a reverence for nature, the coastally centered community of Huia will charm. Tight-knit and respectful of the exquisite natural features, this is the most unpretentious down to earth spot with an outlook that that makes it picture postcard pretty.

    Access for open homes and parking is also provided via 41 Whatipu Road.
