I HAVE REDUCED MY RATES TO OFFSET THE NEW GST EFFECTIVE FROM 1 APRIL 2024. SEE MORE DETAILED NOTE BELOW.
A much loved family beach house available to share with others.
Great elevated, sunny (northerly) aspect. Magnificent views towards the village and over the beach and shoreline. Positioned in a quiet cul de sac. Lie in bed and look out over the ocean and the off shore islands. Eat/drink on the deck and do the same. Open up the bifold doors for the best of indoor/outdoor summer living.
Walk across the road and across the reserve to the beach. Walk in the other direction along a coastal track to stunning secluded beaches.
The Onemana Beach is patrolled throughout most of the summer school holidays and there is an active "Nippers" program that welcomes visitors.
Also walk across the beach reserve to the local dairy/café/take away/restaurant.
Free use of well maintained public tennis courts on the reserve. There is also a kids' play area with swings, slides and a “pirate ship”.
4 km to mountain bike tracks in the forest. Less than 1 hour drive to the Waihi end of the Hauraki Rail Trail.
9 km to Whangamata for cafes, clubs, shops, New World supermarket, boat ramps and one of NZ’s best surf beaches.
Approx 1 hour drive to Hot Water Beach and Cathedral Cove.
The house is elevated with a flight of stairs to the living areas. The deck is child safe. The property is not fenced, but the cul de sac location is relatively child friendly.
The location is also enjoyable for more peaceful breaks in the cooler months when the Onemana village is quieter. The house has electric heaters and a firebox wood burner.
The house is connected to the internet with unlimited wifi. There is also a 55" smart TV.

GST
New GST laws came in to effect on 1 April 2024. GST of 15% is now added to the cost of holiday rentals. However, I have adjusted my rates down to offset the GST effect. For example, I have reduced an overnight rate that was $250 down to $217. ($217 +15% GST = $250). The renter is therefore paying me the same as before and should not be impacted. I can do it because I now receive from Inland Revenue a GST input credit to offset against my costs. Note to consider: I suspect that not all holiday rental owners have reduced overnight rates as I have and are conceivably using this as an opportunity for windfall gain at the expense of the renter.
