About this property
Seaside on Waiheke - Walk to Oneroa Village
Summary:
Seaside on Waiheke is a modern, waterfront studio designed for relaxing mornings, open windows and easy coastal living. With sweeping sea views and direct access to the water’s edge, and Oneroa Village within walking distance, this light-filled retreat is ideal for couples or solo travelers wanting a simple, comfortable base close to beaches, dining, and the ferry.
The Space:
Seaside on Waiheke is a beautifully positioned waterfront studio that opens directly toward the bay. Floor-to-ceiling glazing frames the water, bringing natural light into the space and making the view part of the everyday rhythm of the stay.
The layout is simple, calm, and uncluttered, with a comfortable king bed, a relaxed sitting area, and easy flow to the outdoor space. It is designed for guests who want a peaceful base rather than a large house, with everything close at hand and the water just beyond the lawn.
The kitchenette is well set up for light meals, breakfast, and easy snacks, making it simple to start the day slowly before walking into Oneroa or heading out to explore the island.
The bathroom is modern and beautifully finished, with quality fixtures, soft lighting, and a clean contemporary feel.
Step outside to open lawn, sea views, and a quiet stretch of coastline. It is a lovely spot for morning coffee, evening drinks, sunset views, or simply leaving the doors open and enjoying the coastal setting.
This studio is best suited to couples or solo travelers wanting a modern waterfront retreat within easy reach of Oneroa Village, beaches, restaurants, vineyards, and the Matiatia passenger ferry.

Guest Access:
Buses run from Onetangi, stopping near major wineries, including The Heke, before continuing into Oneroa Village and then on to the Matiatia passenger ferry. The closest bus stop is an easy walk from the property, and services run regularly throughout the day.
Taxis, e-bikes, and rental cars are available, but many guests find this central location convenient enough to explore on foot.
The Neighborhood:
Seaside on Waiheke sits in a peaceful part of Oneroa, close to the shoreline and within easy walking distance of the village.
Oneroa Village is one of Waiheke’s main hubs, with cafés, restaurants, boutique shops, galleries, and useful local services. For coffee, breakfast, or casual meals, guests can walk to local favourites including Wai Kitchen, The Local, Fenice, and Vino Vino.
Oneroa Beach and Little Oneroa are also close by for swimming, beach walks, and relaxed afternoons by the water. The coastal paths around Blackpool and the nearby headlands offer easy places to explore on foot.
For vineyard lunches and wine tasting, Mudbrick and Cable Bay are only a short drive away, both offering beautiful outlooks and a classic Waiheke dining experience.
The Matiatia passenger ferry is only minutes away, making this a convenient location for guests arriving without a car while still feeling quiet and tucked away.
Getting Around:
The closest bus stop is an easy walk from the property, with regular services running between Onetangi and the Matiatia passenger ferry. Buses stop near the island’s major wineries, including The Heke, Tantalus, Te Motu, Stonyridge, and Wild Estate, before continuing into Oneroa Village and down to the ferry terminal.
Taxis, e-bikes, scooters, and rental cars are available across the island, but many guests find this central location convenient enough to explore Oneroa and the surrounding bays on foot.

Perfect Waiheke getaway location, right on the beach, a short walk to Oneroa and the bedroom and bathroom are immaculate. Quiet, cozy and comfortable, just what we needed thank you!
We really loved staying at Seaside on Esplanade. The hosts were very welcoming and went above and beyond which was greatly appreciated.
It was also only a short 15 minutes walk into the shops for lunch.
I had the most wonderful weekend here. The room is just gorgeous. The location is fantastic, walking distance to shops and beaches and the owners are just the most lovely people you will ever meet. I felt so fortunate being able to stay here. I will definitely be back

Thanks Emily! So nice having you to stay. :-). I've passed your feedback on to the owners. This is a new listing for us and they will be so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Kim
This little batch is perfect: the view is gorgeous, the location is 4mn walk from the village, the hosts are amazing.
They've welcome us with open arms, gave us heaps of recommendation and were most helpful during the whole stay.
Unforgettable!
Very nicely appointed studio and nice touches like continental breakfast and a minibar based on honestly system. Lovely bedding and towels. very windy spot though and strong sulphuric smell present the whole time, which I guess is possibly form the type of seaweed and algae washed up on the beach.
Was angry when I realised that breakfast was not included, I had booked a unit with breakfast.
There was no air-conditioner in the unit - for the price paid you would expect an air-conditioner.
As we were new to the island we accepted that $50 for transfer from the ferry terminal to our accommodation was reaonable, however, once we had checked in and walked realised that the bus stop was 200m away and cost $2.45 to the ferry terminal - this is the type of information that should be advised to customers.
