Afio Mai - Palm Beach Hideaway | House in Waiheke Island
3 Bedroom House in Oneroa, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Afio Mai is an easy, relaxed island home sitting just above Oneroa, made for simple days, beach swims, shared meals, and time spent together across flexible indoor and outdoor spaces.
The Space:
Afio Mai unfolds across several levels, giving families and groups room to spread out without losing a sense of connection. The home has a calm, lived-in feel, natural light through the windows, quiet surroundings, and the atmosphere you get a little back from the main road.
At the centre of the house is a large, social kitchen designed for people who enjoy cooking together. Stainless benches, open shelving, and practical equipment make preparing meals straightforward. The indoor dining table works well for relaxed group dinners, or everything can move outside to the wood-fired pizza oven, an easy spot to gather under the trees.
Two lounges make the home flexible. One is set up for conversation or music, while the second is ideal for kids’ movies or a quiet place to read. Large doors open to the deck, extending the living space, and the Smart TV and Sonos system add everyday comfort without dominating the atmosphere.
The bedrooms are simple and comfortable. The main bedroom has a queen bed and good privacy with outlooks to the greenery. The second bedroom has a double bed and catches the morning light, good for slow starts or afternoon rests. The bunk room has four bunks in a row, a practical setup for kids or friends staying together.
After a day at Little Oneroa, there’s space to rinse off sandy feet, put together something for dinner, and settle into island life.

For lunch, Solar Eating House offers casual all day dining with a sunny outdoor area, while The Local is a classic choice for fish and chips and simple plates close to the beach.

Several of Waiheke’s best known vineyards are a short drive away. Mudbrick Vineyard and Cable Bay Vineyards both offer estate wines and vineyard dining with views across the Hauraki Gulf. The Heke is also nearby, known for wood fired dishes, craft beer brewed onsite, and a relaxed garden bar that works well for casual afternoons or early evenings.
