About this property

WAIKARE | Be My Guest

This beautifully renovated beach house ticks all the boxes for a superior island holiday.

Situated just above the beach and a few minutes walk from the village, this property has all the advantages of central positioning, but with the privacy and tranquillity of a secluded location.  It boasts sensational views from the generous deck out over Oneroa Bay - this is a very special spot!

The house is stylishly furnished and boasts spacious living & dining spaces inside & out. You enter the property via a sheltered courtyard, which has a BBQ & outdoor dining table.  The front door takes you into the open plan dining area, with the well-equipped kitchen to the right.  A couple of steps takes you up to the living area, which opens onto the huge front deck with stunning views of the bay.  This has a large outdoor dining table & chairs, and there are outdoor couches on the main deck - perfect for relaxing & enjoying the view!

Off the living room are the 2 bedrooms and the a bathroom.  The master bedroom opens onto the deck & has the same lovely views.  The third bedroom is off the dining area - it has 2 sets of bunks, one with a double bed on the bottom, and a sliding door can be used to separate the room in half.  There is also a second bathroom beside this, with the laundry.   

A 20 minute walk from the passenger ferry, and 10 minute walk down the local path to Oneroa beach, make this house a pedestrian’s dream. Should you want to explore further afield, regular buses leave from the village.  There is even a great cafe immediately at the top of the drive (which as well as being very convenient for coffee & brunch can also mean some morning noise). 

Bedding Configuration:

Master Bedroom - King bed
Second Bedroom - Super King bed
Bunk Room - 2 x Bunks, 1 with a Queen bed on the bottom, sliding door separating the 2 areas

Special conditions:
The property is not to be used for any large parties or gatherings.

Families and small groups preferred.

A significant birthday celebration at Waikare at Oneroa on Waiheke Island
We were a group of ladies celebrating with special friend that had turned 70. Waikare was in a perfect position for enjoying the village and the beach. The local bus was very close by which took us to Onetangi one day for a fabulous luncheon at Three Seven Two. Another special night celebrating was dinner at the Mudbrick Winery a couple of must dos if you are lucky enough to visit. Waikare was a fabulous house to come home to - a home away from home - and the view from the outside desk was exceptional and played a big part in us all loving the house. The kitchen was well equipped for our needs and on arrival there was a lovely touch with a gift of local honey to welcome us. The only downside for us was the second bedroom showed two beds which would have suited our needs better as we were a group of ladies travelling together but on arrival the room was made up as a queen. At the end of our 5 nights we all agreed if there was one thing that could be improved it would be more comfortable pillows. We did experience some noise from the cafe early morning but it would not put me off staying here again and Waikare would definitely be my number one choice. It was just perfect.

This is an awesome vacation rental. The view is gorgeous and the outside entertaining area was huge. The location is excellent as you can walk up to the local shops for groceries and restaurants. Would highly recommend and stay here again.
