The Nearshore Lots
Gently sloping down to the water, with views directly over the Waitematā Harbour, 18 Scott Road is one of Hobsonville’s most exceptional sites.
Captain’s Cove is seamlessly integrated into the local road network. The main entrance off Scott Road leads to Harbourside Parade, which runs through the development, parallel to the water, before connecting with future development to the west. Picnic Point Road forms a loop from the lower end of Harbourside Parade, meeting a second intersection before continuing to the neighbouring Scott Bay.
Thoughtful design features such as raised tables at intersections, regular lamp posts, and bollard lighting along private lanes ensure safe, pedestrian-friendly streets. Ample street parking provides convenience for residents and visitors alike.
The development has a distinct coastal character, with grass berms, newly planted trees, and views of the harbour. A network of footpaths, private lanes, and landscaped pathways offers easy access to the scenic coastal walkway, which leads to Scott Point Beach.
Resource Consented
All lots at Captain’s Cove, aside from a select few waterfront sites, have resource consent for homes designed by Walker Residential Architects. With RC already issued, you can expedite your building consent process and move quickly into construction.

Flat Sites
Located close to the water, these lots will appeal to a diverse range of buyers seeking a relaxed coastal lifestyle. Some taller homes even offer views of the Waitematā Harbour. The flat nature of the sites also streamlines the construction process, making it more efficient.

Captain’s Cove offers a range of architecturally designed homes of various sizes and configurations, catering to a wide audience. This flexibility not only provides more investment options but also reduces competition within the development, as builders can target different buyer segments.

Offering 2 to 5-bedroom layouts across terraced, duplex, and standalone options, these homes cater to various budgets and life stages, ensuring flexibility and wide appeal for a range of buyers.
