Perched on the hillside above St Helens, Red Apple Retreat looks out over the marina and across the bay.

It’s a relaxed three-bedroom home with views from every bedroom, a wood heater for cool evenings, and a backyard orchard of apples, apricots, nashi pears and limes – yours to pick when in season.

It’s a short drive to the cafes, restaurants and waterfront of town, with plenty of room for families or two couples.
