Barfoot & Thompson has been part of Orewa since 1997, and has seen this seaside township continue to grow over the years. Formerly populated by holiday makers, many fell in love with the location and kept their promise to retire there. Now within easy commuting distance of Auckland, it has grown to include professionals and families opting for a seaside lifestyle.

The team at Barfoot & Thompson are comfortable working with this ever changing demographic, as well as with the wide variety of property types the town offers - from exclusive beachfront properties and expansive family homes, to low maintenance town houses, high rise apartments and the odd bach. Regardless of the situation, they are dedicated to giving straight forward, honest information to clients so they can make the best decisions possible. Staff also support one another and communicate openly - sharing listings and information to provide a better overall picture to customers.

Apart from the seaside lifestyle and all the recreational opportunities it brings, there is also a leisure centre and two golf courses at the nearby Whangaparaoa Peninsula and indoor snow field Snowplanet just up the road. For families, there are several good primary schools, excellent intermediate schools and a local college.
