About this property
Relax on Ridge | 7 seater car included
Relax on Ridge is located very centrally in Oneroa. Staying here, you’ll have the best of both worlds. Close enough to walk to Oneroa village, Mudbrick or Cable Bay vineyards and several beaches, located down a quiet leafy street.
Outside you have the choice of upstairs for the massive deck and outdoor fireplace or downstairs for the sun-soaked patio area and leafy backyard, making it perfect for families and relaxing away the evening over a BBQ and wine.
The house is beautifully decorated to the standard you would expect in a hotel, but with all the comforts of your own home – Wifi, a large screen TV, Apple TV and Netflix. The kitchen has much more than you would expect in a holiday house, being fully equipped with an array of utensils for most dishes, electric hob, massive fridge/ freezer, dishwasher, Nespresso machine and microwave. Off the Kitchen is a laundry with washing machine, dryer, iron and board.
The upper level also has a bathroom with shower and separate bathtub.
Downstairs also has a second lounge and TV downstairs, perfect to have separate kids and adult areas.

We had a wonderful stay in Waiheke. We walked down town and had dinner and we used the Hop on Hop off bus to go wine tasting. It was an amazing day at five wineries! We will come back!

Great stay at Waiheke
We had a great stay, couldn't have been better. Lots of room within the house and a great location to explore beaches and wineries. The car was a real bonus and made for a very easy trip. Look forward to staying again!
Within short walking distance to Oneroa village & vineyards made it easy to get around, although the use of the car would be a great bonus for those travelling on passenger ferry. House is lovely & cozy with tasteful decor and well equipped with everything needed for a longer stay. Would definitely stay again.
A very pleasant trip over Christmas with family visiting from overseas, property was easy to get to. Communication from the host was prompt and any issues we had were dealt with.
We appreciated early check in so we could leave our bags and explore.
Kids loved sitting infront of fire.
Good location to walk to shopping.
Outside light above bbq and water pressure could have been better.
Stayed with friends for 6 nights over Christmas. Perfect for hosting, great outdoor spaces with lots of all day sun. Nice and spacious bedrooms. Decent sized kitchen and lounge area. Location is nice and quiet but you can walk to Oneroa in about 15 minutes and Mudbrick in about 20, although we had use of the car which was very handy. Communication with the hosts was exceptional, they are very quick at replying and provided all details upfront. Everything was perfect, and we had a great Christmas!
Fantastic week away. Property had everything we needed. Fantastic to have the use of the car. Beautiful island, just watch out for those massive mozzies.
A great all round property. Clean,tidy and has everything you need. Excellent to have a car available to use. Nice and close to Oneroa town.
Definitely recommend.
We deliberated staying at someplace with an ocean view but glad we stayed at the Ridge home. The home is roomy, beautifully remodeled and upgraded and ideally located close to town. The icing on the cake is FREE use of a Honda Odyssey which made getting anywhere a breeze otherwise wait for a taxi or walk.
The home amenities include:
-new kitchen appliances and all the utensils to cook up a storm
-nicely remodeled bathrooms
-firm beds
-comfy living room sofas
-washer and dryer
-whole house fan(first time ever in all the homes visited)
-A/C
-window curtails that actually shut out the sunlight
Will definitely stay here again!
Great property to rent. Nothing was a bother. Everything included plus a very convenient car. The downstairs terrace was my favourite spot in the morning for the sun and late afternoon for the bird life.

Relax on Ridge definitely lived up to its name. It had everything you need to relax and enjoy.
Close enough to walk to the shops and beach. Lovely quiet location with lots of bird life. Perfect place to step away from the hustle and bustle.

Chris and Kristyna have a lovely home at Waiheke which we stayed in last week for 2 nights when attending my son's wedding at a local venue. Everything about the home was exactly as the ads portrayed and we were delighted with the facilities and comfort. I would recommend it to anyone and will be very happy to stay there again. Having the use of a vehicle was an added bonus!
