About the Home
Apartment 3 is designed around light, simplicity, and the ease of being close to the beach. The open-plan living and dining area sits at the front of the apartment, framed by wide windows that look out toward the gardens and glimpses of the bay. Natural light fills the space throughout the day, keeping the apartment warm and welcoming. The lounge is furnished for relaxed downtime after the beach, with comfortable seating and a clear line of sight to the outdoor area. The kitchen includes full-size appliances, practical bench space, and everything needed for simple meals at home. The bedroom is set back from the living area for privacy and includes a king bed and soft, even light. The bathroom is clean and functional, with a tiled shower and vanity. Being on the ground floor keeps the apartment accessible and easy to move in and out of, with shared BBQ facilities close by.

Once these starter items have been used, guests are responsible for purchasing any additional supplies needed during their stay. Beach towels are provided at all The Sands properties managed by Stay Waiheke. The Sands operates on rainwater tanks, so guests must be mindful of water use, especially during summer.

External smoke detectors are fitted, and any Fire Brigade call-out will incur a $5,000 fee charged to the guest. Smoking is permitted only in the designated picnic area.
