Summary:
Relax within the privacy and tropical gardens at Manuka Studio Apartment located within the prestigious gated Delamore Cove Estate by Stay Waiheke.
The Space:
Set within the gated Delamore Cove Estate, Mānuka Studio sits high above Oneroa with wide views across the bay to Motuihe Island. The light shifts throughout the day, moving from soft mornings to glowing sunsets, and the sound of birds filters through the surrounding bush.
The studio is calm and comfortable, with muted furnishings, high ceilings, and large sliding doors that open to your private balcony. There’s a BBQ, a quiet place to eat outside, and the view stretches from sea to sky. Inside, the space is fitted with a queen bed, modern ensuite, and a well-equipped kitchenette for simple meals or longer stays.
Everything here is designed for ease, Wi-Fi, Netflix, a flat-screen TV, and on-site parking a few steps from the door. Guests are also welcome to enjoy the shared gardens at the entrance, a quiet spot to read, listen to music, or sit with a glass of wine as the evening settles.
Mānuka Studio is one of four self-contained units within the estate, a great option for couples or groups travelling together who want their own space but stay close by.

You’re welcome to enjoy the shared gardens within the Delamore Cove Estate, a peaceful space surrounded by native trees and sea views. The Te Ara Hura walking track passes directly by the property entrance, ideal for morning walks or quiet evening strolls.
Check-in is from 2:00 pm, and check-out is by 10:30 am. Early check-ins or late check-outs may be available for an additional fee, depending on booking schedules. If there’s a same-day turnaround, we’ll confirm closer to your arrival.
The Neighborhood:
From Delamore Cove, everything that makes Waiheke feel effortless is close by. The estate sits just above Oneroa Village, surrounded by native bush and sea air, with views that run out across the Hauraki Gulf.
Start the day with coffee at Wai Kitchen overlooking the bay or head to Fenice for an Italian-style breakfast that turns easily into lunch. Cable Bay and Mudbrick Vineyard are just minutes away, both celebrated for fine food, local wines, and sunset views across the water to the city skyline.
The Te Ara Hura trail passes right by the property, winding north toward the headlands and sculpture park or south toward Blackpool Beach and the village. Oneroa Beach is a few minutes by car or a short walk for swimming, picnics, and easy afternoons on the sand.
Evenings here move slowly, dinner in the village, a glass of something local, and the quiet return to the calm of Mānuka Studio.
Getting Around:
Getting around from Delamore Cove is easy. The property is about a five-minute drive from the Matiatia passenger ferry terminal and just a few minutes from Oneroa Village, Little Oneroa Beach, and the island’s main bus routes.
If you’re not bringing a car, buses run regularly between the ferry, Oneroa, and Onetangi. The nearest stop is a short walk from the property, and most routes link to Waiheke’s beaches, cafés, and vineyards. It’s a simple, scenic way to explore the island at your own pace.
E-bikes and scooters can be hired in Oneroa if you’d prefer to ride, and there’s on-site parking just steps from the studio for guests with a vehicle.
However you travel, every road leads past views of sea and vines, part of what makes moving around Waiheke feel easy.
Other Things to Note:

This studio is part of the Delamore Cove Estate, a quiet, private property set above Oneroa. Guests are asked to be considerate of others staying within the estate and keep noise to a minimum.
As with many Waiheke homes, the property runs on rainwater tanks, so we ask that guests use water thoughtfully during their stay.
Mānuka Studio is one of four self-contained units on the estate, a great option for couples or groups travelling together who want privacy and connection within the same location.
Interaction with Guests:
Our Stay Waiheke team is available seven days a week from 8:30 am to 5 pm, with after-hours assistance for urgent matters. Once you’ve arrived, the studio is yours to enjoy, private, peaceful, and set up for an easy island stay.
