About this property

Step into this beautiful vintage villa and relax – your holiday has begun.

Step into this beautiful vintage villa and relax – your holiday has begun.
Enter the front courtyard garden with its four outdoor white chairs positioned for the afternoon sun. The front porch leads you into a spacious and airy lounge with large comfy couches and open plan kitchen and dining area. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece or simply to heat the takeaway gourmet pizzas.
Open the French doors to the large deck complete with BBQ, an outdoor dining setting and bar stools, where you overlook the park-like grounds at the rear of the home. Enjoy your coffee in the morning and drinks at the bar in the afternoon from this inviting space.
Two generous air-conditioned bedrooms are on this upstairs level. The master, with stunning bay windows, is twice the size of a normal bedroom and has its own basin and heated towel rail in the room. There is also a dressing table, chaise lounge and a freestanding wardrobe. From this bedroom you have direct access in to the family bathroom with separate shower and villa style bath, a rare commodity on the island. The second double bedroom has its own ensuite and a separate reading area and overlooks the back garden. This room has a luxurious king sized bed that can also be split into two singles upon request.
Walk around the side of the house to access the additional two garden bedrooms downstairs – both with a queen bed. Please note, there is no bathroom downstairs. All bathrooms are located upstairs on the main floor.
Kick back and relax in the shade on the lower verandah which is a great place to read your book or have a snooze in the hammock. The big grassy area is perfect for pets, for kids to run around or for a little back yard cricket.
Island Villa also has on offer:
• Full onsite laundry facilities. Washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board
• Full suite of cooking and entertaining appliances and utensils
• Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps for the lower bedrooms to keep them comfortable any time of year
• Child’s porta cot and high chair
• Freeview and Wi-Fi
This is the perfect place to come home to after exploring the island and just a five-minute walk through the park to the shopping precinct for a long lunch, walk on Oneroa Beach or a leisurely dinner out. There is a Four Square supermarket, boutique bottle shops and the Island Grocer for your gourmet items. You are also minutes away from the community-run Waiheke Community Island Cinema and the Waiheke Community Art Gallery.
PLEASE NOTE: An exit cleaning fee applies to each stay. All linen and towels are supplied but please bring your own beach towels.
Minimum stays: Seven nights between mid-December and mid-January, two nights all other times and three nights for public holiday weekends.
Security Deposit: A security deposit of $500 will be preauthorized to your credit card 2 days before departure. This will be released 5 days after departure. A 3.9% card surcharge applies to all card payments.
A leather bound compendium is located on site at the house with property specific rules and detailed information about things to do on Waiheke. The property manager will also provide local information.

Accoms for family wedding
Such a lovely stay at this rental. Clean, comfortable, sunny, beautifully furnished and with everything we needed. A short walk across the park to the Oneroa shops for excellent coffee and food. Close to the Mudbrick Vineyard for the wedding event. Excellent experience from start to finish. Thank you Waiheke Escapes.

Waiheke Escape
Beautiful property and great location. Great extras like the fire pit. Didn't realise 2 of the 4 bedrooms were via a separate entrance at the back of the house (done the side of the house) with no access to bathroom unless entering house front entrance until we go the information package. 2 full bathrooms and a handbasin in one of the main house bedrooms. Otherwise fantastic.

Quality accommodation in Oneroa
This is a very impressive 4 Bedroom, 2 bathroom home with all the bells and whistles. Not cheap but then nothing is these days. Great location with fantastic outdoor areas and the communication from Waiheke Escapes was excellent. Being able to bring our doggo to an upmarket home like this was very special. I wish a lot more bookabach owners allowed it. The only thing I would improve if I owned the House was replace the main King bed with a new one (or at least the mattress). The current one isn't up to standard for a House of this quality. If there was a way to add a toilet downstairs then that would be awesome too. Take the stay from a 9 out of 10 to a 10 out of 10 :)

Convenient and Tidy
I rented this property for 2 nights for my bridesmaids and I to get ready for my wedding. The hosts had no issue with us having hair/makeup artists visiting and even gave us a welcome gift. The property was conveniently located close to Oneroa and Matiatia. The property was super clean and tidy. I would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful Interior
My friends and I had the best stay at this amazing house. It had everything that we needed and not to mention the beautiful interior. It had a good amount of rooms and a large space to hang out with our friends either in the lounge, deck or backyard. A short walk to the local shops and ferry terminal. 100% would stay again.

Perfect summer getaway
We stayed at the Island villa for 8 nights over the new year break and it wad absolutely perfect. The house is in a fantastic location, 5 mins walk to the Oneroa shops (with lots of cafes, restaurants and little grocers) and only a 15 mins walk to Oneroa / Little Oneroa beach. The villa itself has everything you need for a relaxing stay, with lovely interiors and big front deck - perfect for al fresco dining and sundowner drinks in the afternoon. Would highly recommend to anyone considering a trip to Waiheke.
