My dream home: if this property ever goes on the market I want it. The photos online don’t do it justice. It’s set up perfectly no matter your mood: beautiful landscaped gardens leading to a short bush walk to access the beach, where you can go for a kayak or trek over the hill to Little Oneroa for a surf (just a few mins walk), plenty of outdoor spaces to chill out with a magnificent view across the bay, cocktails in the world’s best garden shed/bar, a high-tech cinema room for a rainy afternoon, a jacuzzi under the stars. The owners Rick and Megan have clearly put a lot of thought into creating a relaxing, luxurious place for their guests to escape. They even loaned us the jeep to explore the island and check out the wealth of great restaurants and vineyards around every corner. Waiheke Island and this beautiful house has been the highlight of our whistlestop NZ visit, and has definitely made us want to return for more....
