The Space: Beachfront Bliss blends the charm of a classic Waiheke bach with a fresh, modern feel. The open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area faces out to the water, keeping the home bright throughout the day. Cane armchairs, a feather-filled sofa, a six-seater dining table, and a smart TV with Netflix and cable create a relaxed, comfortable place to unwind after time on the beach. The kitchen is simple and well equipped with a Breville coffee machine, Bosch dishwasher, and everything needed for easy meals. Large windows and sliding doors connect the living area to the outdoor deck, where cushioned loungers and a high-quality BBQ make outdoor dining straightforward. Two bedrooms offer comfortable, hotel-style bedding and air-conditioning. The master includes a super-king bed, while the second bedroom has two king singles. The layout suits couples, friends, or a small family wanting a quiet, easy base metres from the sand. The sheltered front deck is designed for year-round use, and from here it’s only a few steps across the coastal road to reach the beach, ideal for morning swims, long walks, or watching the evening light settle over Onetangi. Bed Configuration Bedrooms: 2 Bedroom 1: 1 × super-king bed Bedroom 2: 2 × king single beds Sleeps: 4 guests Bathrooms 1 × main bathroom Parking On-site parking available Guest Access: Guests have full access to the home, deck, and outdoor living areas. Parking is provided at the property. Check-in and check-out will be arranged prior to arrival. Early or late check-ins may be available for a fee depending on back-to-back bookings. The Neighborhood: Beachfront Bliss sits directly across the quiet coastal road from Onetangi Beach, giving you uninterrupted views and immediate access to the sand. Walk the shoreline, swim in the calm water, or wander to your choice of beachfront cafés and restaurants. Beachfront dining: Ki Māha — refined beachfront dining with a strong seasonal menu and a relaxed, polished atmosphere. Charlie Farley’s — a long-standing local favourite for breakfast, coffee, and casual meals with the sand right in front of you. Three Seven Two (372) — modern coastal dishes with a focus on fresh, local produce, directly across from the beach. Essentials: Four Square Onetangi — fresh produce, daily supplies, meats, wine, and everything you need for an easy stay. Liquorland Onetangi — curated Waiheke and NZ wines, local craft beers, and beach-friendly essentials. Winery close by - Casita Miro — Mediterranean-style shared plates, a warm and colourful dining atmosphere, and beautiful vineyard + sea views (via steps up to Seaview Road). Onetangi wineries and breweries in Vineyard Valley — each one unique: Stonyridge — famous for its Bordeaux-style reds, long vineyard lunches, and iconic Waiheke setting. Tantalus Estate — refined dining, elegant indoor–outdoor spaces, and beautifully crafted wines in a modern vineyard environment. Te Motu — relaxed, sit-down meals surrounded by vines, with robust reds and a down-to-earth, family-run feel. Wild Estate — casual, family-friendly vineyard with wood-fired food, outdoor games, and craft beers. The Heke — a popular, lively stop for craft beer, whisky, outdoor dining under the trees, and easy group lunches. All wineries and breweries are within a short drive or a simple bus ride, and with a bus stop just 50 metres from the house, exploring without a car is straightforward. Getting Around: Regular buses serve the island and connect Onetangi with Oneroa, Palm Beach, and the Matiatia Ferry Terminal. Taxis are available but can be expensive, so the bus is a practical option. Parking is available on-site, and car hire is offered with this property. Other Things to Note: Waiheke relies entirely on rainwater tanks, and water is a limited natural resource on the island. To support sustainable living and protect local supply, especially during the drier summer months, we ask guests to be mindful of their water use throughout their stay. Minimum stays apply: 7 nights mid-December to mid-January 3 nights on long weekends 2 nights at all other times The property sits directly across the coastal road from Onetangi Beach, with no houses on the beach side.
