Getaway Waiheke | Stay Waiheke

Summary:
Just a short stroll from Oneroa Village and the beach, Getaway Waiheke by Stay Waiheke is a calm, easy home made for simple island days, close to everything, yet quietly tucked away.

The Space:
This inviting retreat comfortably accommodates up to six guests, making it perfect for families or groups seeking a memorable getaway.

Set in a peaceful pocket just behind Oneroa Village, Getaway Waiheke is a relaxed, easy home designed for family holidays and weekends with friends. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and living area keeps everyone connected — whether you’re cooking together, reading on the sofa, or planning your next beach swim. Glass doors open out to a wide deck, where morning light fills the space and evenings stretch out over shared meals or a quiet drink as the garden settles around you.

The home sleeps up to six guests across three comfortable bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. Two queen rooms offer calm, airy retreats, while the twin room gives children or friends their own space. The layout feels practical and balanced — the kind of home where everyone can unwind without being on top of one another.

Outside, the large garden and deck create an easy flow between indoors and out. Fire up the BBQ, enjoy a meal in the sun, or simply sit back and listen to the island slow down. You’re close enough to wander into the village for morning coffee, yet tucked far enough back to feel the quiet of your own space.

Please note — there are CCTV cameras positioned to monitor the driveway and garage area. These are operational at all times for security purposes.

The Neighborhood:
Getaway Waiheke sits in a peaceful pocket just behind Oneroa Village, the island’s main hub for coffee, food, and everyday essentials. It’s an easy walk down to Oneroa Beach, where you can swim, wander the shoreline, or simply sit on the sand with a takeaway flat white in hand.

In the village, everything’s close and familiar, cafés, boutiques, and simple spots for lunch. Stop by Too Fat Buns for one of their award-winning beef burgers, then wander down to the beachfront and enjoy it while watching the waves roll in. For breakfast, Akito Café is loved for its relaxed, plant-forward menu, and Wai Kitchen offers brunch with a view over the bay.

When evening comes, you’re spoilt for choice. For something casual, grab a pizza and a drink at Solar Eating House. Or for a splurge, book a table at The Oyster Inn, one of Waiheke’s best-loved restaurants, owned by Josh Emett, known for refined seafood and relaxed, seaside dining with a view.

By the time you head home, the village has quietened, the sea is still, and the island feels like it’s exhaled.

Getting Around:
There’s off-street parking at the property, so bringing a car is easy and convenient. You’re also just a short walk from public transport, the nearest bus stop on Matai Road is about a one-minute walk from your door, making it simple to hop on and explore the island.

Visiting the vineyards couldn’t be easier. Leave the car at home and jump on the bus, no need to worry about driving afterwards, and you can enjoy wine tastings and local craft beverages along the way. The route passes some of Waiheke’s best-loved wineries, including Cable Bay, Mudbrick, Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, Casita Miro, and Wild on Waiheke, where you can linger over long lunches or tasting flights before heading home.

Be sure to stop at The Heke Kitchen, Brewery & Distillery, a favourite local spot known for its wood-fired food, craft beers, and relaxed garden atmosphere.

Public buses run regularly between the ferry terminal, Oneroa Village, the main beaches, and vineyard stops. Taxis and rideshares are available but can be expensive, especially in the evenings or during peak season, so the bus is often the easiest and most relaxed way to get around.

Other Things to Note:
Like many Waiheke homes, Getaway Waiheke runs on rainwater, so we ask guests to use it thoughtfully during their stay.

There are CCTV cameras positioned to monitor the driveway and garage area, these are operational at all times for security purposes.

With steps around the garden and decking, the home may not suit guests with limited mobility.

Minimum stay requirements apply, seven nights from mid-December to mid-January, three nights on holiday weekends, and two nights at all other times
