About this property

Waiheke Wonder - 20 steps across park to beach

Charming, cute Kiwi Bach, tastefully renovated, providing the perfect holiday destination. Whether you want some quiet time to relax, or explore the wonders of Waiheke, then this is the ideal spot for you. A delightful location, the property borders Surfdale reserve (with kids playground) which leads directly to the water's edge. Just 20 steps from the end of the section and you'll be standing on Surfdale Beach.
The Bach offers open plan living with 2 double bedrooms (queen) and all the amenities you should rightfully expect - TV, DVD, Stereo, BBQ, and a deck to be envied by all.
You choose ... relax on the deck, grab your towel and wander across the park to the beach ... or just a short 2 minute walk to Surfdale village where you'll find a choice of eateries and bars, The Middle Restaurant, The Blue Rabbit Bar, Bisou French Cafe, an Irish bar, or grab fresh fruit and veges, an icecream or whatever you need from the fresh market, diary or bakery.
And for those wanting to explore the island further, you are only a short stroll, bus or taxi ride away from the pleasures of numerous vineyards and restaurants, walking the island tracks, visiting art galleries or lazing the days away at one of the many beautiful beaches.
This is the perfect getaway for a couple looking for some quiet time together, or perhaps share with a couple of friends.
Remember, just 20 steps and you'll be standing on Surfdale Beach, 1 km to Little Oneroa, 2 kms to Oneroa Beach and Village and 3 kms from both ferry's.

Hot
The check in process was terrible, u download another app not Bookabach for it to tell you that you will have an email.The email isn't from Bookabach or the app it's direct from the bach owner so finding it is hard work in itself. But that isn't the reason for the rating.The house is quite old so there was a fair few notes about not being able to open windows or blinds.No small kitchen rubbish bin inside. Only fans so it gets very hot also no hose for washing off your sandy feet after going to the beach.We are so used to having a place with some body wash so we got caught out luckily the diary is walking distance and beach was walking distance also.Don't recommend swimming at this beach as there is heaps of seaweed. Good location for what we needed as we had family with a vehicle, great deck area.Very clean house just the old bones need a bit of work if new people keep coming into home.

Cute, old school style bach
We were on the island for three days of our friend’s wedding festivities. Although we were pretty much only in it to sleep or shower and change clothes, this bach was ideally suited for our purposes. Comfortable, clean, adjacent to the beach, and centrally located. Perfect. Thanks, Jo!

Pleasant short stay.
Particularly clean and welcoming older NZ bach. Close to a variety of beaches. Pity the Black algae hsd returned on this side of the island but plenty of other beaches on the north of the island with clear and calm water. Thanks for enabling us and our French family to enjoy Waiheke.

Perfect weekend
‘Ease’ is the best word to sum up this Bach. Location was brilliant, loads of outdoor space for our 2 year old to run around - as well as a playground right there!! Lovely clean home, had everything we needed. We had such a lovely stay, we want to come back!!

A wonderful little haven
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The place was immaculate and perfect for the two of us. We were guests at a wedding at Mudbrick - which was sensational, followed by a day of wine tasting and lunch at Heke. The last day started with breakfast at the Irish bar around the corner - watching the Rugby world cup final (great breakfast but bad result). Would definitely recommend this place!!

Homely clean batch
We loved our stay at this Bach. We have two young boys who loved the big yard and playground close by with a basketball court. Nice and close to the shops and a nice restaurant walking distance. Would definitely stay here again when we visit waiheke next. Thanks Jo

Happy Days
The batch was comfortable and had everything in it you might require for your stay. The position was great, close to the main areas and Surfdale Beach is a lovely spot. One small problem could be ants if the kitchen bench was not kept clean and ant living foods were not kept in the fridge. Would be happy to stay there again.
