Just a short walk from Palm Beach, Hibiscus Hideaway is a bright, comfortable apartment with sea views, set within the Waiheke Resort complex. Designed for couples or solo travellers, it offers a relaxed base close to the beach, cafés, vineyards, and public transport.

The living area is open and welcoming, with glass doors leading out to a private deck that works well for morning coffee or a quiet drink at the end of the day.

The Neighborhood:
Hibiscus Hideaway is located within Waiheke Resort, around a five-minute walk from Palm Beach. Palm Beach is known for safe swimming, a relaxed atmosphere, and easy access to a small local store for coffee, ice creams, and essentials.
Arcadia Waiheke is nearby and popular for casual meals and good coffee. Oneroa Village is a short drive or bus ride away and offers supermarkets, cafés, boutiques, galleries, and evening dining options including Fenice and The Oyster Inn.
Several of Waiheke’s well-known vineyards, including Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, and Casita Miro, are within easy reach.
Getting Around:
The nearest bus stop on Palm Road is a short walk from the apartment. Buses run regularly between Palm Beach, Oneroa Village, Onetangi Beach, and the Matiatia ferry terminal.
This makes it easy to explore the island without driving. The route passes near major vineyards before continuing into Oneroa and on to the ferry.
Taxis and rideshare services operate on the island but can be expensive during peak periods. E-bikes and scooters are available for hire in Oneroa for guests wanting a slower way to explore.

I thought the beds were hard and the pillows uncomfortable. I didn’t like the fact we had to tidy up. I didn’t realise this before I booked. There was no wifi or sky.
