No.63 - Elevated Onetangi Retreat with Pool
Summary:
Set high on the Onetangi hillside with wide views across the coastline, No.63 is a completely rebuilt beach-style home offering privacy, space, and calm. Expansive decks, a 13 metre swimming pool, and light-filled contemporary interiors create an easy setting for relaxed island stays, surrounded by gardens, native plantings, and open sky.
The Space:
No.63 has been carefully redesigned to make the most of its elevated position and uninterrupted outlook. The main living areas sit on the ground level and open through multiple large sliders to a wide, two-level deck that looks across the pool and out to the coastline below. Views stretch across the northern and western headlands, creating a natural rhythm to the day, from quiet mornings with coffee by the windows to long afternoons outdoors and gentle evenings watching the light move across the water.
Inside, the ground floor brings together a generous living room, a fully equipped kitchen, and a dining area that flows naturally outside. Built-in window seats create sunny corners to read, rest, or simply take in the view. The layout is open and sociable while still allowing space to step away and unwind.
There is one bedroom and bathroom on the main level. Upstairs, the master bedroom with ensuite opens to a private deck with far-reaching coastal views. The second upstairs bedroom has three single beds and sits alongside a light-filled living area that also opens to the deck, creating a flexible family space.
A separate studio is connected by a bridge walkway and includes a queen bed, a single bed, and its own bathroom. A dedicated television area with beanbags makes this an ideal zone for teenagers or guests wanting their own space. The grounds extend toward the western coastline with lawns, garden paths, and multiple places to sit and enjoy the setting.
No.63 is designed to feel comfortable year round, with natural materials, open interiors, and outdoor living at the centre of the experience.

The Neighborhood:

Nearby dining includes Three Seven Two for breakfast and coffee by the beach, Charlie Farley’s for casual meals throughout the day, and Ki Māha for refined coastal dining directly opposite the sand. Well-known vineyards are close by, including Tantalus Estate with its restaurant and brewery, Stonyridge for long vineyard lunches, Te Motu for seasonal dining in a rural setting, and Obsidian, known for relaxed tastings among the valley hills. Walking tracks and lookouts nearby make it easy to explore the area between beach time and meals.
Getting Around:
The closest bus stop is on Onetangi Road, with regular services running from Onetangi through major wineries, including Tantalus, Stonyridge, and The Heke Brewery, before continuing into Oneroa and on to the passenger ferry terminal.

Excellent Family Spot
We had a lovely visit and can’t wait to return. Pros: the rental agent/team were amazing. We had flights cancelled and ended up arriving a day late and they were so accommodating. Plus they were very responsive to questions during our stay. Cons: the house is very creeky. Charming but it’s tough to sleep while others are awake—unless they’re in the guest house. The driveway is extremely steep. I know it’s common for the island but it can be intimidating.
