The Space: Blackwood Retreat has a calm, spacious feel from the moment you walk in. The main living level is designed around the outlook, with the kitchen, dining, and lounge areas opening directly to sun-filled decks and uninterrupted northern sea views. It’s an easy space to settle into morning coffee on the deck, shared meals with the doors open, and long afternoons in the sun. The master bedroom sits on the main living level and includes a king bed and ensuite, giving couples privacy and direct access to the home’s central spaces. The two additional bedrooms are located on the lower level along with a second full bathroom, creating a practical layout for families or small groups. One room has a queen bed, and the other has a super king that can be split into singles on request. The kitchen is set up for everyday cooking with modern appliances and plenty of bench space. Careful attention to detail throughout the home makes it comfortable and functional, with a focus on light, views, and easy indoor–outdoor flow. Bed Configuration Bedroom 1: King bed (master with ensuite) Bedroom 2: Queen bed Bedroom 3: Super king bed (can be split into singles on request) Guest Access: The nearest bus stop is within walking distance and connects easily to Oneroa, Onetangi, and the ferry terminal. Buses also stop near major vineyards including Cable Bay, Mudbrick, and Wild on Waiheke. Taxis on Waiheke are expensive, and private drivers can also be costly. Hire cars, e bikes, and scooters are often the most practical and cost effective way to explore the island. On site parking is available at the property. The Neighborhood: Blackwood Retreat is just outside Oneroa Village, giving guests easy access to cafés, boutiques, and nearby beaches. For breakfast or coffee, Wai Kitchen and Akito are both close by. Lunch options include Solar Eating House and Fenice, offering relaxed daytime dining in the heart of Oneroa. For dinner, The Oyster Inn provides coastal dishes with sea views, while Fenice serves Italian plates in a casual village setting. Wineries within a short drive include Mudbrick and Cable Bay, both ideal for tastings, long lunches, or special occasions. For something more casual and family-friendly, The Heke offers wood-fired dishes, local craft beer, and a lively outdoor setting. Oneroa and Little Oneroa beaches are nearby for swimming, picnics, and easy afternoons by the water. Getting Around: The nearest bus stop is within walking distance and connects directly to the ferry terminal, Oneroa, Onetangi, and major parts of the island. Buses stop outside key wineries including Cable Bay, Mudbrick, Stonyridge, Tantalus, Te Motu, Wild on Waiheke, and The Heke. Taxis, rental cars, scooters, and e-bikes are available. On-site parking is provided. Other Things to Note: Waiheke relies entirely on rainwater tanks. To support sustainable living and protect local supply, especially during the drier summer months, we ask guests to be mindful of their water use during their stay. Minimum stays Five nights from late December to mid January Three nights on holiday weekends Two nights at all other times Interaction with Guests: Our Stay Waiheke team is available seven days a week from 8.30 am to 5 pm for general queries.
