Hekerua Bay Retreat - Coastal Views

Description

Set above Hekerua Bay, Hekerua Bay Retreat combines wide water views with a large deck for outdoor dining, BBQs and time together in the sun. Open-plan living connects directly to the deck, while the flexible bedroom layout works particularly well for families or friends. Palm Beach is around a 10-minute walk downhill, with Oneroa a short drive away. The large deck and wide views across Hekerua Bay are the standout features of Hekerua Bay Retreat. Elevated above native bush, the home looks out across the water, with the main living spaces positioned to make the most of the outlook. The open-plan kitchen, dining and lounge form the central living area of the house, with large doors opening directly onto the deck. This creates an easy connection between indoors and out and gives families or groups plenty of shared space during their stay. Outside, the generous deck is set up with outdoor dining, a BBQ and seating overlooking the bay. It effectively becomes a second living area, with room for meals outside, relaxed afternoons and evenings enjoying the view. The four bedrooms are arranged across different levels of the home, providing useful separation from the main living areas. The master bedroom has a king bed and its own ensuite bathroom. Upstairs, the second bedroom has a split king bed that can be configured as twins. Downstairs is another king bedroom, along with the bunk room, which has a double bed on the bottom and a single bed above and is particularly suited to children or teenagers. There are 2.5 bathrooms in total, making the layout practical for families or groups of up to eight guests.

The bay below is sheltered and calm, and the elevated position provides open views while maintaining privacy. Palm Beach is around a ten-minute walk downhill and offers safe swimming, a small local store, and cafés. Arcadia Waiheke is nearby and is a popular spot for relaxed lunches and casual dinners. Oneroa Village is a short drive away and provides supermarkets, cafés, boutiques, galleries, and a range of dining options, including The Oyster Inn and Fenice. Several of Waiheke’s well-known vineyards, including Mudbrick, Cable Bay, Tantalus Estate, Stonyridge, and Casita Miro, are all within easy driving distance. This is a self-catered holiday home. A starter supply of toilet paper, coffee, tea and milk is provided for arrival. Guests are responsible for purchasing additional supplies required during their stay. For properties with a fireplace, stays between 1 June and 30 September include a starter supply of firewood. Additional firewood can be purchased locally. Beach towels are provided only at properties with an available pool or spa. Guests staying at properties without a pool or spa should bring their own beach towels. Like most Waiheke homes, the property uses rainwater tanks, so guests are asked to use water thoughtfully during their stay. Minimum stays apply: 7 nights from mid-December to mid-January, 3 nights for the remainder of January and on holiday weekends, and 2 nights at all other times.
