Summary:
A welcoming, family-friendly Onetangi home with sea views, open living spaces, and a relaxed three minute walk to the quiet end of the beach. Beachlovers is made for simple days, shared meals, and unhurried time together close to the coast.
The Space:
Beachlovers Onetangi is a bright, easygoing coastal home arranged across two levels, with morning light in the living spaces and soft sea views from the upper floor. The home has a warm, comfortable feel, the kind of place where days move naturally between the beach, the deck, and relaxed time indoors.
The main living, dining, and kitchen areas share one open space on the upper level, creating a practical hub for families or groups. Large sliders open out to the outdoor seating area, keeping the home connected to the coastal surroundings. The lounge is set up for quiet evenings, shared dinners, or simple movie nights after a day on the sand. The kitchen is fully equipped for holiday cooking, with everything needed for breakfasts at home or easy meals shared around the dining table.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms give everyone room to spread out. The bedrooms are separated across both levels for privacy, with flexible bedding that suits families, couples, or friends travelling together. The lower level includes a second living area that works well as a quiet breakout zone or a space for children.
The home is made for slow, simple days. Walk to the beach in a few minutes, wander home for lunch, and head back down for sunset. You can keep things low key or follow the coast along to the beachfront restaurants for coffee, breakfast, or dinner.

The Neighborhood:
Beachlovers Onetangi sits a short three minute walk from the quiet end of Onetangi Beach, a long stretch of golden sand known for its easy atmosphere and excellent beachfront dining.
For breakfast or coffee, Charlie Farley’s and the Beach Store are close by along the waterfront. For lunch, Three Seven Two and Casita Miro offer relaxed dining with local produce. Dinner can be a refined beachfront experience at Ki Māha or a simple evening at Charlie Farley’s.
The Onetangi Valley is close for wine tasting and long lunches. Tantalus Estate and Stonyridge are both nearby, along with Te Motu, Obsidian, and Wild on Waiheke. The Heke is a popular option for wood fired dishes and locally brewed beer in a relaxed garden setting.
Local essentials such as the golf course, Countdown supermarket, and the Saturday farmers market are a short drive away.
Getting Around:
The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the property, with regular services to Oneroa, the ferry, and the rest of the island. These buses stop outside major wineries including Tantalus, Stonyridge, Te Motu, and Wild on Waiheke.
Taxis on Waiheke are expensive, and private drivers can also be costly. Hire cars, e bikes, and scooters are often the most practical and cost effective way to explore the island.
There is on site parking at the property.
Other Things to Note:
Waiheke relies entirely on rainwater tanks, and water is a limited natural resource on the island. To support sustainable living and protect local supply, especially during the drier summer months, we ask guests to be mindful of their water use throughout their stay.
Minimum stays: 7 nights mid-Dec to mid-Jan, 3 nights on long weekends, 2 nights at all other times.
Interaction with Guests:
Our Stay Waiheke team is available seven days a week from 8.30 am to 5 pm for general queries. For life threatening emergencies such as fire, police, or ambulance, guests must call 111 immediately.
For urgent after hours issues, an emergency number is provided in the arrival instructions.
