Just steps from the sand, this north-facing coastal villa offers relaxed, easy holiday living with bright open spaces and a large deck overlooking the bay. The Space: Villa 31 by Stay Waiheke is arranged over two levels, with the open-plan living spaces positioned to take in the water views and the bedrooms set privately upstairs. The main living level opens directly onto a large north-facing deck with outdoor seating and dining, making it an easy space for long breakfasts, late afternoon drinks, or simple dinners spent watching the light change over the bay. Large sliders connect the deck to the lounge, dining, and kitchen areas, bringing natural light through the whole level and keeping the indoor and outdoor spaces seamlessly linked. The lounge has comfortable seating and a calm, beachside feel. The dining area sits between the lounge and the kitchen, keeping the layout open and practical for groups. The kitchen is well equipped with full-size appliances, generous bench space, and everything needed for simple meals at home. A separate toilet is also located on this level. Upstairs are three double bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom looks directly out to the bay and includes its own ensuite. The second and third bedrooms each have queen beds and share a separate bathroom. All bedrooms receive natural light and are set back from the living areas, keeping the upstairs quiet and private.
