With a total floor plan of 230 square meters, this home offers the ultimate in space, style and location to ensure that guests have a truly one off experience in New Zealand’s award winning island wonderland. Filled with beautiful original fittings from old properties previously located all around New Zealand, this one off property celebrates everything that is great about yesteryear while embracing today by including items like bose sound systems, a wonderful 900mm oven with an induction cooktop and flat screen television. The kitchen is big enough to host four people in it at one time comfortably, and it opens out on to arguably, the most stunning outdoor dining area complete with a beautiful electric louver system and expansive views of Huruhi Bay. Fill the old wood burner stoves in the kitchen and the living room in winter and feel the warmth upstairs as it feeds through to the bedrooms. All four bedrooms are located on the top floor. Each room opens out on to the verandah and to more views. The generous bedrooms have wonderful high ceilings and feature stunning ceiling roses dripping with original art deco light fittings. The stunning light filled master bedroom with its glorious views will have you wondering if you need ever leave the room. Beautiful gardens, a wonderful large grass area for children to play on, and a track directly to the beach below, and many wonderful walking options from 15 minutes to all day, will make this the property that you will want to come back to year after year. Two of the islands most popular vineyards Mudbrick and Cable Bay, are located on the same road just minutes away. Please Note: This property has dirt road access for part of the way off the main road and is steep in parts. You will require 4WD access during wet weather and we highly recommend a 4WD in general. These are readily available for hire on the island and taxis can provide a 4WD should you not wish to hire a car. People mover vans that are not 4WD are not recommended as they are generally too light in the rear end for the ascent. ## 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 ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower ### Entertainment - Stereo - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - Up to 25 kg per pet ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - Near the bay ### 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; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99260000/99251900/99251830/3fcfa1b0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Paradise on Palm by Stay Waiheke Palm Beach - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=99251830&PinnedHotelID=99251830&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/107000000/106830000/106828100/106828078/33640557.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Bella Seven | Walk to Oneroa Village Oneroa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 13 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=106828078&PinnedHotelID=106828078&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/94000000/93140000/93138200/93138125/3c4f60e7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### No 63 by Stay Waiheke Waiheke Island - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=93138125&PinnedHotelID=93138125&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/108000000/107420000/107417400/107417358/065b8286.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Genuine Kiwi Bach at Stay Waiheke Oneroa - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-30&endDate=2025-12-31&selected=107417358&PinnedHotelID=107417358&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/43000000/42620000/42618300/42618294/12a4cbc7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Palm Beach Panorama - perfect family holiday house with spa pool!
