Castaways

This combination of house and cottage gives you all the space you need for the perect holiday with friends and family. Join together for communal meals on the large SW facing deck and enjoy the views all the way back to Auckland or cosy up in the large dining area, on those blustery days, with the gas fire. You can escape to the cottage for some peace and quiet while the children play safely amid the luscious bush and birdsong. Or create your own moments of romance away from the madding crowds!

Just a 5 minute stroll away is Little Oneroa Beach. Two kayaks on wheels are yours to explore the headlands of the bay. A 15 minute walk will take you to bustling Oneroa village where you can enjoy cafes and restaurants, art galleries and the numerous shops and entertainment venues that make it a fun place for the whole family.  

Wind down with some of the island's world-class wines as you gaze across the panoramic vistas of Oneroa Bay or take your favourite local wine back to your homes from home and spoil yourself as you soak in your private spa. Nestled in native bush and birdsong, this is the perfect place to relax and rejuvenate.

• A clean house with beautiful views. A great setup with the cottage for a group, 2 families, or weekend away with the grandparents. We got good use out of the spa pool and DVD collection too! Really close to the bus stop for getting around without a car. Be aware the little Oneroa dairy is now closed, so Oneroa is the closest place to get milk/bread/coffee beans.

• We were a group of 8 and thought it was one house with 4 bedrooms, but nope, they have two houses on the same property. So the top house is awesome, the bottom house is pretty qute. We all had a good time at the spa pool and having drinks at the upstairs house on the deck with a view.

• We arrived on probably the coldest night of winter in the dark, and the heatpumps & lights were left on for us when we arrived so it was nice and warm. Spa pool was also on, amazing view of the stars at night and lovely spot for sunrise. Overall a great place to stay and excellent value for money!

• Stayed for a long weekend on Waiheke and this place was everything we needed. The cottage is cute, but mainly used it just for the extra bedrooms and bathroom. The lounge and kitchen in the main house had everything we needed. Centrally located and close to Little Oneroa beach.

• "2 lovely properties that allowed us to be fairly central to everything Waiheke has to offer but lovely and quiet! We particularly enjoyed using the kayak in the ocean and chilling out in the spa pool in the evening. The kitchen is deceptively big in the main property and really well equipped and all the bedrooms are roomy with comfortable beds. The 2nd bach is smaller but clean and cosy and has everything you need for your stay!  I dealt with one of Richards team, a delightful lady who met us at the property and made us feel welcome."                                                                                                          Julie Muxworthy, Mar 2018  
• This place is beautiful! Cannot get over it wow."                                                                                          Kayla Vaatuitui Mar 2018 
• We had a fantastic time, thank you! Got out to a few wineries and the Dellows distillery and went for a drive around the island"                                                                                                                        Caity Lee Nov 2017
