2 minute drive to the beach, 3 minute walk to the pool, spa at the property

This quality and spacious 2-bedroom holiday rental offers superb, birds eye views over the native reserve to Ostend hinterland and all the way across the bay back to Auckland. This is premium Waiheke accommodation, ideal for families or groups up to 8 with easy access off street parking. It is beautifully presented with highly polished floors and new kitchen, laundry and bathroom facilities. Here you have maximum peace and privacy, all in a central location, close to the golden sands of Palm Beach and to Ostend village with all its many amenities.

The comfortable living and lounge area flows seamlessly from the fully equipped kitchen to expansive decks that frame the view and offer outdoor dining. The two large bedrooms in the main house have Queen beds and the beautifully crafted sleep out offers further occupancy, with a Queen bed.  And to top it all, you can indulge your inner angel as you relax and revitalise in the spa to the sound of native birds and soak up the peace that this sanctuary provides. Please note that by accepting the Terms and Conditions to rent this property you also accept full responsibility when using the spa.
When you choose to venture out, the Waiheke resort is a mere 3 mins walk away with a pool, bar and restaurant or you could walk 12 minutes and hire a SUP at Palm Beach and enjoy easy access to the beautiful waters of the bay then enjoy the fabulous Arcadia restaurant. A walk around the nearby reserve is another option to boost your energy and embrace the beauty of the natural environment that surrounds. For more action, at Ostend, you’ll find the Farmers Market on Saturdays, the local supermarket, takeaways, coffee shops and a liquor outlet. Vineyards, cafes and restaurants are just a short drive away from this most central of locations.

Lovely House, Lovely Location

The group and myself were very impressed with what this house had to offer. Super clean and tidy, beautiful scenery and views, and plenty in the nearby area to keep you entertained.It is close to bus routes and the town center, so easy to get around and grab anything you need for your stay.The host/property manager were super helpful and quick to get ahold of, answering any questions we had and making us feel welcome from the minute we arrived. We had a very enjoyable stay here and would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to stay on Waiheke. Would definitely come back again! :)
