A collection of exceptional riverside apartments offering direct access to the River Hamble has launched, delivering an outstanding coastal lifestyle through contemporary, elevated living.
At the heart of the development is Shackleton, a striking listed building that was once home to the Warsash Maritime Academy. Following its successful launch, just four homes now remain. Adjacent sits Moyana, named after the Academy’s first training vessel, famed for winning the inaugural international Tall Ships Race in 1956. With two properties already under offer, Moyana is set to be highly sought-after.
Arranged across two floors, Moyana comprises eight thoughtfully designed apartments, each maximising natural light, specification and views. Open-plan living spaces flow seamlessly onto private terraces, Juliet balconies or landscaped gardens, many with aspects over the river, woodland, or treetops within the Maritime Park estate.
The interiors have been curated by acclaimed designer Helen Tawse, whose vision blends Shackleton and Moyana’s rich maritime heritage with a refined contemporary aesthetic. Throughout each home, natural textures and a soft, neutral palette create a timeless finish. Black-stained wood veneer with dark bronze ironmongery, oak-effect herringbone flooring and plush bedroom carpeting add warmth and cohesion. Architectural detailing, such as square edge architraves and expansive glazing, enhances the sense of light and flow.
Kitchens are bespoke in design, tailored to complement open-plan living while making the most of the surrounding landscape. Each features a full suite of integrated appliances for seamless functionality. Bathrooms and en suites are equally considered, offering calm, private spaces finished with high-quality brassware and large format porcelain tiles, combining understated luxury with everyday practicality.
Set above the picturesque banks of the River Hamble, Shackleton and Moyana offer a rare opportunity to enjoy a lifestyle defined by tranquil waters, open skies, and scenic coastal walks. The location blends natural beauty with excellent connectivity; Southampton and Portsmouth are easily accessed via the M27, while Southampton Airport is just a 15–20-minute drive away. Mainline stations at Hamble and Swanwick provide direct services to Southampton Central and onward connections to London Waterloo.
Nikki Houston, Associate Director in the New Homes team at Savills Winchester, comments: “Nestled along one of the South Coast’s most desirable waterways, the launch of Moyana marks an exciting new chapter for this exceptional riverside destination. With its considered design, strong connection to the surrounding landscape and direct access to the River Hamble, it offers a rare balance of tranquillity and contemporary living.
“Combined with the success of Shackleton and the site’s rich maritime heritage, we are already seeing strong interest from buyers seeking a lifestyle-led move without compromise. Moyana represents a truly special opportunity to enjoy the very best of waterside living in Hamble.”
Prices at Moyana start from £600,000, with the show home now launched.
