When this family was planning their holiday home at Riversdale Beach, they knew a standard build wouldn't cut it. The remote Wairarapa coast location, the expansive ocean views, and their vision for a quality coastal retreat all called for something more considered. They chose Manor Build for our ability to customise the design to suit their specific needs — and deliver a high-quality, finished home to a remote site without the headaches of traditional construction.
The clients wanted a holiday home that felt like a proper home — not a compromise. Riversdale Beach is a remote, sought-after coastal location, and the build needed to match it. Quality finishes, a design that made the most of the ocean views, and a style that suited the relaxed coastal lifestyle were all non-negotiable. With all the complexities of a remote site — including fire suppression requirements — they needed a builder who could manage the detail and deliver.
One thing the clients particularly valued was being able to visit the factory at any point during the build — seeing their home take shape in a controlled environment gave them confidence and kept them connected to the process throughout.
To make the home their own, the clients made several key modifications to the standard Takapuna plan:
The transportable construction method was ideal for Riversdale Beach. With site access challenges typical of remote coastal locations, having the home built in a controlled factory environment and delivered complete significantly reduced on-site disruption and risk. The result is a quality four-bedroom holiday home the family will enjoy for generations — built to the standard of a permanent residence, with the character and practicality of a great New Zealand bach.
