About our home
This newly rebuilt house is our sanctuary from the world! Perched high above Onetangi Beach on Waiheke Island, it's a delightful 4 bedroom luxury retreat. Stylishly decorated with stunning 270 degree views across two beaches and an astonishing coastline.
Open plan living areas, a fabulous entertainer's kitchen and 10 huge sliding glass doors opening the ground floor up to the huge decks which lead down to an infinity swimming pool, outdoor fireplace and BBQ area - the perfect place to relax with a chilled glass of acclaimed Waiheke wine. Large gardens provide plenty of room to picnic and play, with lots of games and books for children and adults alike. We've got cable TV, Bose iPod docking station, wireless internet, flatscreen TV and lots of window seats to stretch out for a sunny snooze and take in the world-class views.
We're just 4 minutes downhill by car to sweeping Onetangi Beach and its cafes, with superb vineyard restaurants also close to hand. Waiheke Island is dotted with stunning vineyards, olive groves and amazing views of headlands, islands in the gulf and glorious beaches. Auckland City is just 35 minutes away by fast ferry. Waiheke Island itself is criss crossed with interesting walking trails, wonderful cafes and restaurants, artist studios, a quirky community cinema, supermarket, great deli and all the day to day shopping you'll need. Lovely restaurant - The Oyster Inn - google it and find out more about our wonderful island. This is New Zealand at its best. We also have a 4-bedroom character Wellington harbourside house, just minutes from the cafes, theatres, musems and open spaces of downtown, so a two-centre Kiwi adventure is a great basis for your New Zealand holiday itinerary.
