Villa Valmont by Stay Waiheke

Summary:

Villa Valmont is a sun-soaked, character-filled home that feels like your own private resort. With a swimming pool, generous outdoor living, elevated sea views, and plenty of space for families or groups, it’s the kind of island retreat where days unfold easily between swims, long lunches, and slow evenings on the deck. Palm Beach is just a short walk away, keeping everything relaxed, convenient, and effortlessly coastal.



The Space:

Villa Valmont is designed for easy, comfortable group stays, with multiple indoor and outdoor zones that let everyone spread out without ever feeling far apart.



The main living area is bright, welcoming, and open plan, with generous seating, a dining area for shared meals, and large windows that make the sea views part of the room. The adjoining kitchen is fully equipped for family cooking or long, lazy island lunches.



Outdoor living is a highlight here. One deck overlooks the sea, a calm spot for morning coffee or evening drinks, while the second deck sits beside the swimming pool, creating a private resort-like hub for relaxing, sunbathing, and spending time together.



Four bedrooms give guests plenty of flexibility, and the home’s layout keeps everyone comfortable whether you’re travelling with kids, extended family, or a group of friends. There are multiple lounges, breakout spaces, and quiet corners for reading, working, or unwinding after a day exploring Waiheke.

Bedroom 1: Split king with king-size mattress

Bedroom 2: Queen bed

Bedroom 3: King single trundle bed (2 large singles or can convert to a double) + 1 single bed
