About this property

Te Kereru Onetangi | BE MY GUEST

Te Kereru is a unique and spectacular architecturally designed house, nestled in native forest above magnificent Onetangi Beach on Waiheke Island.

With a light and airy open-plan split level layout and unusual angles, it has a wonderfully, sunny living area, which opens onto a balcony with expansive views across the treetops to the sea. A wood burning stove as well as a heatpump,means this is a warm and comfortable house year round. Up a few stairs is a spacious dining area, and a large well-equipped kitchen, with a magnificent natural wooden-topped workbench/island. This opens onto a further balcony, perched high up in the trees, with amazing views out to sea, with an outside table, chairs, sun umbrella and a gas BBQ. .

Completely surrounded by forest, there are multiple decks on which to sit, relax, watch the sun set, enjoy the privacy and seclusion, and listen to the native birdsong - tui and kereru (NZ native pigeon) are abundant. A few metres away is a track leading into the NZ Forest and Bird Waiheke Forest Reserve. Walk through the Reserve and down to the beach, or take other tracks through the mature forest to yet more spectacular views.

Downstairs there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has a super-king bed (which can be split into two singles), and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower. It opens onto a large, completely private deck above the trees. There are two further bedrooms, one with a queen size bed, and one with a single, which also has a private deck. There is also a spacious family bathroom with a bath and an outdoor shower.

Te Kereru is located above Onetangi bay, a short stroll down to the lovely beach and cafes. Within a few minutes drive are many wineries, a supermarket and a golf course. The 2 ferries are within 15 minutes drive.

Amazing architect home quiet area perfect distance to beach

We would stay there again and already recommended it to friends. Beautiful setting in the trees with the bird songs and incredible views and light. The inside is perfect with a well appointed kitchen and gorgeous living room. The distance to beach is a 10’ easy walk

Just amazing

If you look at the photos of this property and think that it’s too good to be true …. They are 100% accurate. The house is simply amazing. I’m not sure who the architect was who designed it but they must have been an eccentric genius 😄 I’m hoping we can stay there again !

Stylish and comfortable

We had a great week enjoying the many features of the property. Really appreciated how well set up the kitchen was. We had one really hot day and retreated to the deck over the garage. Would have been good to have had some dedicated outdoor furniture there. Otherwise we lacked for nothing.

We loved it!

We loved it! House was warm and comfortable, we loved relaxing on the balcony with the view at night after a day of exploring the island, a wonderful retreat over the top of the trees. We drove to Onetangi to the Boathouse cafe and beach for breakfast (a great spot!) but you could easily have a nice walk down the hill we have young kids so walking back up a bit much. And was a lovely experience to stay in a designer style home. Thanks for an amazing and memorable Waiheke stay!

Nice Property located within a short walk to the Beach.

Nice Property located within a short walk to the Beach. Our visit was in the winter and we found the wood burner inadequate. It struggled to heat up the house and the vents to turn the heater down did not work so in the morning its had burned out. We also felt the new shower room could do with an extract fan.

Great property with great views nestled in the native bush above Onetangi Beach.

Great property with great views nestled in the native bush above Onetangi Beach. 900m walk down the road to the beach, or a slightly longer walk via Onetangi Bush Reserve for the more adventurous. Kitchen was well stocked, beds were super comfy with great linen. Great spacious open plan house. Lounge was great to chill out in on a rainy day, and the multiple decks were stunning to sit out on and enjoy a wine looking at the view. Only downside was the dryer was not working.
