Cosy and comfortable, with stunning ocean views of Oneroa Bay, Welcome to The Island Gem!
Ideal for couples, friends or a family looking to spend some time on Waiheke Island, this 2-bedroom home comes packed with everything you need to relax and unwind.
The convenient location is just a short drive from both the passenger ferry and the car ferry.
A 5 minute stroll to gorgeous Little Oneroa beach provides access to a shaded children's playground, store, fish and chip shop and the famous Dragon Fired Pizza.
Walk another 5-10 minutes (via a lovely scenic cliff top path if you wish) and you will reach the shops and beach at Big Oneroa. Loads of restaurants, cafes, retail stores and 4 Square supermarket, all within the 1 km walk.
From wine-tasting close by at Mudbrick, Cable Bay and Goldwater vineyards, to scenic views, walking tracks and biking tours, Waiheke offers plenty of activities, and with a bus stop conveniently located at the bottom of the street you don’t even need to bring your car!
For your next trip to Waiheke, make sure to stay at The Island Gem! As the deck barrier is below 1 metre high, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls.
The driveway is not sealed and can be muddy and wet after rain. Take extra care if driving a 2WD car.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.

We've stayed here before and were delighted to come back. It's a really comfortable place, a short steep walk up Tawa Street, with good access to Little Oneroa for a morning swim or an evening pizza. It's also handy for the shopping and cafes of Oneroa village. No wifi, so had to use my 4g phone signal if needed. But I hope to come back and stay again.
