Karaka Bays

Quiet, waterfront and tightly held. Life here is oriented to the harbour, boats, wharves and swimming, with a small, settled community and very little passing traffic. One of the city’s most secluded coastal pockets.

Housing and streets

Character baches and homes, many right on the waterfront or perched just above it, along narrow shoreline roads. Sections and aspects vary, and properties rarely come up, so the market is thin and sought-after.

Getting around

Tucked along the harbour edge near Seatoun, reached by the coastal road, with buses through the eastern suburbs to the city. A car suits the location; Seatoun and Miramar provide the nearest shops.
