With open living spaces, a large deck, and easy access to Palm Beach and Oneroa, it’s a comfortable base for families or friends wanting time together on Waiheke. The Space: Positioned above native bush with long views across Hekerua Bay, Hekerua Bay Retreat feels calm and well balanced from the moment you arrive. The main living area is open and light filled, bringing together the kitchen, dining, and lounge in a single connected space that opens directly to the deck. The deck is generous and set up for everyday use, with outdoor dining, a BBQ, and seating that works for long breakfasts, shared lunches, and evenings spent watching the light change over the bay. The indoor and outdoor areas connect easily, making the layout practical for groups spending time together. The home accommodates up to eight guests across four bedrooms arranged over multiple levels. The master bedroom includes a king bed and ensuite bathroom and is positioned to catch the morning light. Upstairs, a second bedroom features a split king bed that can be configured as twins. Downstairs, a king bedroom sits quietly away from the main living areas, while the bunk room includes a double bed on the bottom and a single above, suited to children or teenagers. With two and a half bathrooms in total, the layout allows guests to spread out comfortably without feeling crowded. Due to stairs connecting multiple levels, the property may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Bed and bath configuration Master bedroom: king bed, ensuite Upstairs bedroom: split king bed (can be configured as twins) Downstairs bedroom: king bed Bunk room: double bed with single above Total: 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms Sleeps up to 8 guests Guest Access: Guests have full, private access to the home for the duration of their stay. Check-in is from 2:00 pm and check-out is by 10:30 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for an additional fee and can be confirmed closer to arrival, subject to same-day changeovers. Off-street parking is available at the property. The Neighborhood: Hekerua Bay Retreat is located between Palm Beach and Oneroa in a quiet, residential area surrounded by native bush. The bay below is sheltered and calm, and the elevated position provides open views while maintaining privacy. Palm Beach is around a ten-minute walk downhill and offers safe swimming, a small local store, and cafés. Arcadia Waiheke is nearby and is a popular spot for relaxed lunches and casual dinners. Oneroa Village is a short drive away and provides supermarkets, cafés, boutiques, galleries, and a range of dining options, including The Oyster Inn and Fenice. Several of Waiheke’s well-known vineyards, including Mudbrick, Cable Bay, Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, and Casita Miro, are all within easy driving distance. Getting Around: The property includes off-street parking, making it easy for guests travelling with a car. Oneroa Village and the passenger ferry at Matiatia are around five to ten minutes away by car. Public buses run regularly along the Palm Beach route, connecting Palm Beach, Oneroa Village, and the ferry terminal. The closest bus stop is within walking distance of the property, making it possible to get around without driving. Taxis and rideshare services operate on the island but can be limited during peak periods, so advance bookings are recommended. Other Things to Note: Like most Waiheke homes, Hekerua Bay Retreat runs on rainwater, so we ask guests to use it thoughtfully during their stay. Please Note Driveway is steep. Minimum stay requirements apply, seven nights from mid-December to mid-January, three nights for the rest of January and all holiday weekends, and two nights at all other times. Interaction with Guests: Minimum stays apply: 7 nights from mid-December to mid-January, 3 nights on holiday weekends and late January, and 2 nights at all other times. Like most Waiheke homes, the property uses rainwater tanks. Guests are asked to use water thoughtfully during their stay. Due to the stepped layout, the home may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Shower/bathtub combination ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Scuba diving nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property;
