About this property

The Penthouse On The Beach at The Sands (11) - The Penthouse On The Beach is a bright, elevated apartment above Onetangi Beach with wide sea views across the bay. Open plan living flows to a large north-facing deck set up for outdoor dining and relax

Positioned on its own top floor within The Sands, Penthouse 11 is a premium apartment with uninterrupted views across Onetangi Bay. As the only residence in the complex with a private rooftop balcony, it offers a level of space, privacy, and outlook that is hard to match in this location.
The main living area is open plan and designed to take full advantage of the setting. Full width sliding doors draw in natural light and connect seamlessly to the north-facing deck, creating an easy flow between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen is finished to a high standard with quality appliances and generous bench space, suited to both short stays and longer, more relaxed visits. Dining and lounge areas are arranged to make the most of the view, while still feeling comfortable and practical for groups.
The rooftop balcony sets this apartment apart, providing an elevated, private space with completely unobstructed sea views. A louvred pergola allows for all-weather use, giving protection from both sun and rain so the space can be enjoyed year round.
Accommodation is well considered, with a master suite that opens toward the view and includes a king bed and ensuite. The additional bedrooms are fitted with a super king and two singles respectively, all finished with high-quality beds and luxury linen. A second bathroom services these rooms.
Access to the apartment is via elevator, adding to the ease of arrival and overall comfort of the stay.
Please note there are internal stairs within the apartment, and the property is not suitable for young children.
Guests have full use of the apartment, rooftop balcony, and private deck. On-site parking is available, and shared gas BBQs are located within The Sands complex.
