Moana Beach House is a recently renovated two bedroom, two bathroom beach house set directly on the sand at Onetangi Beach. With a flat lawn that opens straight onto the beach, this is genuine absolute beachfront in one of the most desirable locations on Waiheke Island.
Moana Beach House sits directly on the sand at Onetangi Beach, with a flat lawn that allows you to walk straight from the house onto the beach. This kind of true walk on beachfront access is rare on Waiheke Island and is what makes this location so special.
For many years, Moana Beach House has been a much loved family home and holiday bach, a place for long summers, early morning swims, and time spent together by the sea. We feel very lucky to now be managing the property and making it available for holiday rental for the first time, and it has been prepared with care for guests to enjoy.
The house has a relaxed, coastal feel with a clean, modern finish throughout. The open plan living, dining, and kitchen area is light and comfortable, with large sliding doors opening onto a generous deck that looks out across the bay. This space works beautifully for everyday living, whether you are inside with the doors open or spending most of your time outside on the deck.
The full kitchen is well equipped and stylish, making it easy to enjoy long breakfasts or shared meals after a day on the beach. A Nespresso machine is provided, along with a welcome selection of premium teas and coffees. For entertaining, the house also features a wet bar with ice machine, well positioned for relaxed evenings on the deck. A full laundry is available, making longer stays simple and practical.
Outside, the deck includes a BBQ and plenty of seating, creating an easy setting for outdoor dining and evenings spent watching the light change over the water.
Both bedrooms are fitted with king beds and quality linen, offering calm and comfortable spaces to unwind. The two bathrooms are modern and spacious, with large tiled showers and simple, contemporary fittings that feel practical and well considered.
The house is set up for an easy, comfortable stay, with fast internet, smart TV, and thoughtful touches throughout. It suits couples, friends, or a small family looking for a well located beach house that feels relaxed rather than overdone.
From the lawn, you can step straight onto the sand for a morning swim or a walk along the beach. Cafs, vineyards, and Onetangi village are all close by, but the setting feels private and unspoiled.
Moana Beach House is all about location, comfort, and the simple pleasure of being right on the beach.

About the host
Hosted by Waiheke_Unlimited
Waiheke Unlimited is a locally owned property management company that specialises in hosting holiday guests on Waiheke Island. We look after a beautiful portfolio of homes and holiday properties, focusing on thoughtful hosting, clear communication, and well-presented spaces where guests can genuinely relax.
What makes us good hosts is that we’re local and hands-on. Our team lives on the island and personally manages each stay, from preparation and cleaning through to guest support during visits. If something needs attention, we’re close by and responsive. Guests aren’t dealing with a call centre or an automated system, but real people who know the property and the area.
We take pride in creating stays that feel easy and well cared for. Properties are clean, comfortable, and set up with the details that matter. Guests receive clear information before arrival, practical local advice during their stay, and support when needed — without being intrusive.
Because we’re part of the Waiheke community, we understand what visitors are coming for and how to help them make the most of their time here. Whether it’s recommending local spots, helping with logistics, or simply making sure everything runs smoothly, we aim to be reliable, friendly hosts who do things properly.

Why they chose this property
Onetangi is one of Waiheke Island’s most relaxed and welcoming places to stay. Set around a long, beautiful beach, it offers space, light, and an easy pace that suits both short breaks and longer stays. It’s a place where you can slow down without feeling cut off, with everything you need close at hand.
The beach is the heart of Onetangi. Its wide sweep of sand is ideal for swimming, walking, and spending unhurried days by the water. Unlike some of the busier parts of the island, Onetangi feels open and calm, even in peak season, making it easy to find your own space.
Onetangi also has a strong local feel. There are well-loved cafés, casual eateries, and vineyards nearby, along with a small village centre that covers the essentials. You can enjoy good food and wine without the crowds, and many places are within easy walking distance or a short drive.
Getting around is simple. Onetangi is well connected by bus and road, yet feels comfortably removed from the busier ferry end of the island. This balance makes it ideal for visitors who want both convenience and quiet.
Most of all, Onetangi is great because it’s unpretentious. It’s a place for beach days, sunset walks, and relaxed evenings, where life moves a little slower and time feels well spent.

What makes this property unique
Moana Beach House is a truly special place to stay, set directly on the sand at Onetangi Beach. Unlike most homes in the area, it sits right on the beachfront, with the beach only a few steps from the deck. There is no road to cross, no walkways or reserves in between — just the house, the sand, and the sea. This makes Moana Beach House the only genuine “on the beach” holiday rental in Onetangi.
The house has been a much-loved family home for generations, and that history is felt the moment you arrive. It is not a purpose-built rental or a styled-to-sell holiday house, but a place that has grown with the family who owns it. The layout, the spaces, and the way the house opens to the beach all reflect years of shared holidays, long summers, and easy time together.
Because of this, Moana Beach House works especially well for families and groups. It is designed for real living: relaxed meals, sandy feet, kids moving freely between the house and the beach, and adults watching the water from inside or out on the deck. The house invites you to slow down and settle in, rather than just pass through.
Being directly on Onetangi Beach also means your days naturally follow the rhythm of the tide and the light. Morning swims, long beach walks, afternoons in the sun, and evenings with the sound of the waves become part of everyday life. The connection to the beach is constant and effortless, something that is increasingly rare and genuinely special.
Moana Beach House offers a style of Waiheke holiday that is hard to find now: a true beachfront family home, cared for over generations, and shared with guests who value simplicity, space, and an unmatched location right on Onetangi Beach.
