About this property

Ocean View

Ocean View is a modern light filled homestay with funky furniture, an open plan living area, where you can pull up a stool and chat over a coffee while enjoying the fabulous sea view. With decks at the front and back of the house you can follow the sun or the shade all day. Lunch on the back deck watching the ferry’s and boats go by, or dinner on the front deck watching the lights of the city and Sky Tower dazzle in the distance.

View views and views. You could sit there all weekend and watch the world go by down on the water below. From the moment you open the door, the ocean views will grab your attention and your holiday will begin! Start your break by looking at the 180’ views of the harbour and Te Whau Bay and be welcomed by the two islands in front of you.
Ideally located, just a short 10min stroll to the Kennedy Point ferry. If you’re heading to a wedding, you are just a short cab ride from Mudbrick and Cable Bay vineyards on the Oneroa side of the island, or equally close to the best of fine dining on the Onetangi strip.

On wet days there are board games and puzzles, turn up the heat pump and get toasty while watching your favourite TV shows or movies (we have Netflix) streamed onto a 55” 4K TV (via Apple TV) with fibre connection to ensure both gaming and movies run smoothly.

Note: There is a cold plunge pool available for your use. Please note that by accepting the Terms and Conditions to rent this property you also accept full responsibility when using the pool: the owner takes no responsibility.

Decks out to the east and west both with spectacular sea views looking back to Auckland. Outside furniture, tables, and 4 burner hooded BBQ. Head to our local vineyard, Kennedy Point (4 min away), which overlooks the bay. Push on to a local cafe or bar in Surfdale (approx 10min away). Please note there are outside cameras for security, both front and rear entrance.
Close by attractions: 1 min from the car ferry terminal. Close to Kennedy Point Winery (great for lunches and wine tasting) and Goldie Winery. Close to the supermarket (only a 5 min ride). Alternatively, jump on the local bus (#501) which runs continuously between Matiatia and Kennedy Point, stopping at Surdale and Oneroa`s shops and restaurants.

Ideally located, just a short 10 min stroll to the Kennedy Point ferry, where there is a public bus that goes to Oneroa, the main village on the island. If you’re heading to a wedding, you are just a short cab ride from Mudbrick and Cable Bay vineyards on the Oneroa side of the island, or equally close to the best of fine dining on the Onetangi strip.

Please note also that there are outside cameras for security, both front and rear entrance.

Great stay, beautiful views!

Me and my family stayed for 5 nights and had a great time. Weather wasn't great (unfortunately the bbq area was covered), but still a good time (including using the swimming pool while raining!) Comfy beds, enough space and great to spend the holidays!

The best summer holiday with family

The house has great views and clean equipment. The manager is so friendly. He recommended the children friendly vineyards for us. The house is over my expectation. Hope we can stay here forever. Thank you.

House with views to die for!

Perfect location, with sea views from both sides. Full doors and windows on both sides that open up to bring in the sea air! House that has been renovated and modernised well. Bright and very easy to live in. Great that it was pet friendly, not fully fenced (just a FYI to others, it didn't matter for our dogs). Clean and tidy, just could do with the odd clean that is higher than arm height.
