Character homes with genuine sea views, between the beachfront and the harbour.
Start here
Owners and landlords get a figure with the reasoning attached. Buyers and tenants get properties that fit the brief — including ones that are not advertised.
Both agents take their own calls and WhatsApp messages. If it is urgent, WhatsApp is the faster route.
David handles letting and renting; Donald handles selling and landlords. Either of them can answer a question about Humewood.
The suburb
The streets rise away from the beachfront, so the further up the hill you go, the better the horizon. It is older housing with real character, and the harbour side keeps the suburb working all year rather than only in season.
Older homes reward preparation — a finished renovation sells, a half-finished one stalls. On the letting side the larger houses convert well for guests, and we say plainly what a property will and will not return before an owner commits to that plan.
Buyers who want a view within walking distance of the beach, renovators, and tenants who want space near the seafront without beachfront prices.
Steady long-let demand, with the larger homes also working as guest accommodation. Parking and any municipal zoning for commercial letting should be confirmed before an owner counts on that income.
Interwar and post-war homes with big windows chasing the view, and apartment blocks running along the Marine Drive side.
This is a description of the suburb, not a property we are offering. We do not publish properties on this website — tell us what you need and you will hear about what suits, including places that are not advertised.
Owner side
A written figure, a plan you approve before anything is published, and terms agreed in writing — including what the letting route would return if you would rather hold the property than sell it.
Buyer and tenant side
Tell us the budget, the size and the deal-breakers. You get options that fit, an honest view of the street and the levies, and viewings arranged around your week — including after hours and on a Saturday.
