The Space: Apartment 15 sits in a bright position at the quiet end of Onetangi Beach, with wide windows bringing in natural light and filtered views toward the bay. The open-plan layout keeps the home simple and comfortable, with the kitchen, dining, and lounge arranged as one connected living space. The lounge is set up for relaxed beach days and calm evenings, with comfortable seating and an outlook toward the landscaped grounds and ocean. The dining area sits beside the main windows, keeping the room open and bright. The kitchen is equipped with stainless appliances, good bench space, and everything needed for easy meals at home. The apartment has two bedrooms positioned away from the main living area for privacy. The master bedroom includes a king bed and plenty of natural light. The second bedroom has a king bed that can be split into singles on request, making the layout flexible for two couples, friends travelling together, or a small family needing separate beds. Two full bathrooms sit close to the bedrooms, each with a clean, functional design and tiled finishes. Apartment 15 by Stay Waiheke is made for a simple, slow stay, easy mornings, relaxed time at home, and effortless access to the beach, dining, and nearby vineyards. Bed & Bath Configuration Bedroom 1: King bed Bedroom 2: King bed (can be split into singles) Bathroom 1: Full bathroom Bathroom 2: Second full bathroom Total: 2 bedrooms | 2 bathrooms Occupancy: Up to 4 guests Please note: Minimum stays: Mid December to mid January - 7 nights, holiday weekends - 3 nights and 2 nights at all other times.

Smoking is permitted only in the designated picnic area. Guest Access: Guests have full use of the apartment. Check-in is from 2pm and check-out is 10:30am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available for a fee depending on same-day bookings. Parking is available at the property. The gas BBQs are shared with other guests at The Sands The Neighborhood: Apartment 15 is a flat, easy walk along the beach to Charlie Farley’s and the Beach Store, both popular for coffee, breakfast, or simple daytime meals. For longer lunches or dinner, Ki Māha and Three Seven Two offer seasonal menus and premium beachfront dining. The apartment is close to key island amenities including the Waiheke golf course, Woolworths supermarket, and the Saturday farmers market in Ostend. The Onetangi Valley’s wineries such as Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, Te Motu, Obsidian, Casita Miro, and Wild on Waiheke, are all within easy reach. The Heke, another local favourite, offers wood-fired food, craft beer, and a relaxed outdoor setting. Getting Around: The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the apartment, with regular services between Onetangi and Oneroa. These buses stop outside the major wineries in the Onetangi Valley. Taxis on Waiheke are expensive, and private drivers can also be costly, especially in peak season. For most guests, hire cars or e-bikes are the most practical and cost-effective options.
