About this Holiday House
Enjoy birdsong, fern-forest walks and peace, on the paradise island of Waiheke. Watch the sunset over Rangitoto and the tui bathing on your deck railing. Walk along the Tawa track to Rocky Bay Hall for coffee and date scones on weekends, or drive/bus/cycle to Palm Beach or Onetangi Beaches. Head to Oneroa for cafes, bars, gelato or the quirky cinema, or visit a vineyard for wine tasting. Off the beaten track, but close to everything—a very special getaway spot.
