Lannan Beach House by Stay Waiheke
Summary:
Set just across a quiet waterfront road with uninterrupted views of the bay, Lannan Beach House is a generous, elegant coastal home made for relaxed group stays. Wide decks, open living areas, and calm, sheltered outdoor spaces create a setting where mornings move slowly, meals stretch long, and evenings naturally roll into night.
The Space:
The home is spacious, bright, and designed for easy shared living. Large sliding doors open the main living areas to the wraparound decks, bringing the sea breeze and the view straight into the house. The open-plan lounge is comfortable and welcoming, with deep seating and a wood fire that makes cooler evenings simple and cosy. The chef’s kitchen anchors the space, set up for slow breakfasts, shared platters, or long dinners around the table.
A separate library nook gives you a quiet place to read or work, while the dedicated billiards area adds a relaxed, social corner for groups. With multiple living zones, families and friends can spread out without ever feeling disconnected.
Five bedrooms are positioned throughout the home for privacy and ease. Three bedrooms include ensuites, and all are fitted with premium linens and soft, coastal light. The layout works well for mixed groups, couples, and extended families.
The grounds are fully fenced and level, ideal for kids, backyard games, or a quiet morning stretch. A private spa sits just off the deck, perfect for unwinding after a swim or a day exploring the island. With no houses between the property and the water, it’s easy to wander across the quiet road for a morning dip or a sunset walk along the shoreline.
Bed configuration:
Bedroom 1 – Super king bed
Bedroom 2 – Super king bed
Bedroom 3 – King bed
Bedroom 4 – Queen bed
Bedroom 5 – Single-over-single bunk
Minimum stays:
• 7 nights between Christmas and mid-January
• 3 nights remainder of January and all holiday weekends
• 2 nights at all other times
Guest Access:
Guests have full access to the entire home, including the spa, decks, outdoor living spaces, library, billiards area, flat lawns, and onsite parking.
Check-in is from 2:00 pm, and check-out is 10:30 am.
Early arrivals or late departures may be available for an additional fee depending on bookings.
The Neighborhood:
Lannan Beach House sits in one of Oneroa’s most desirable pockets, close to the coastline and only minutes from the village. Start the day with a walk along Oneroa Beach before grabbing breakfast or coffee at Wai Kitchen or Solar Eating House, both known for relaxed daytime dining overlooking the bay. For lunch, Mudbrick and Cable Bay are just a short drive away, offering sea-view tastings and long, easy meals in classic Waiheke settings. When evening comes, The Oyster Inn and Fenice are great village options for dinner, from fresh seafood to Italian staples. And for something casual with a lively atmosphere, The Heke offers a brewery, distillery, and relaxed outdoor seating that works well for groups.
Despite being close to everything, the property itself feels private and calm, set up for switching off.
Getting Around:
The local bus network runs frequently between the ferry, Oneroa, Onetangi, and the major wineries, a fun, easy option if you’re planning a tasting day. Hopping on and off with other holiday-makers is half the charm, and many vineyards sit right on the main bus routes.
Taxis and rideshare services operate across the island, though they can be limited during busy periods. There’s easy parking at the property if you’re bringing a car
Other Things to Note:
The property uses rainwater tanks, so thoughtful water use is appreciated.
Minimum stays apply: seven nights mid-December to mid-January, three nights for the remainder of January and all holiday weekends, and two nights at all other times.

Fantastic House
We had a great weekend with 7 extended family (aged 59-90).
The house was a perfect lay out with multiple living spaces and private bedrooms.
The kitchen was out of this world, and the pool table a great success.
I would definitely recommend this house.

Relaxing holiday
A lovely huge living area with 4 big bedrooms on each corner and surrounding a top kitchen dining, 2 lounges and snooker area. One smaller bunk room for the children. Excellent ensuites. All top quality appliances and linen. Excellent indoor outdoor area. We would have liked access to kayaks though as the beach there was unswimmable due to an algae blanket that is across the southern beaches on Waiheke at present. Such a shame. But walking distance to Oneroa around the coast.

Family birthday celebration (Mother's 60th)
Ideal for family of 12 with bedrooms and discrete spaces for escape (TV pit, chairs on veranda, pool table area, spacious lawn, beach)
The large kitchen with multiple ovens great for cooking large celebratory meal. Outdoor eating a pleasure with quiet beach at edge of property.
Beach great for swimming at high tide but unfashionable for tourists rendering less populous than other beaches on island.

Highly recommend this gorgeous home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this amazing property. We went away as 5 couples for a long weekend break (without the kids) and this property had everything. Big spacious open plan living, with gorgeous views and decking the whole way around. Amazing huge kitchen that had everything we could possibly need. The location was perfect as is central to everything and the check in and out process was easy and the staff Bookabach staff were lovely. We will be back!!
