The Moana Vista is a charming cottage nestled in the hills above Oneroa Bay. It is private, peaceful and very romantic. The cottage is a slice of heaven with stunning views over Oneroa beach and the Hauraki Gulf.

Superb cottage with an awesome view
The title says it all! We wanted a quiet break from life in downtown Auckland and this place fit the bill perfectly. It’s a cute little cottage with great facilities and it was great relaxing on the deck watching the sun set over Oneroa. It’s only a short walk to the nearest bus stop as well - Waiheke has a really great bus network so there’s no need for a car. All in all the perfect place to spend the weekend!
