Alhambra by Stay Waiheke | House in Oneroa
3 Bedroom House in Blackpool, Oneroa
Summary:
Set just across from Blackpool Bay, Alhambra is an easy, comfortable coastal base within walking distance of Oneroa Village. A relaxed home that suits families or small groups wanting space, simplicity, and sea views.
The Space:
The home has a warm, lived-in feel with morning light coming through the front windows and quiet evenings when the tide settles across the road.
The main level is centred around an open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. Floor-to-ceiling glass looks out to the bay, keeping the space bright and connected to the water. The kitchen is fully equipped, the dining table seats the group comfortably, and the lounge works well for shared meals, board games, or a quiet end to the day.
Also on this level are one double bedroom and a full bathroom, plus a second lounge with a double sofa bed for extra flexibility.
Upstairs are two additional double bedrooms reached by a narrow, fairly steep staircase typical of older Waiheke homes. These rooms sit under the roofline and catch afternoon sun, with enough separation from the main living area for anyone wanting a quieter corner.
Outside, the deck and garden give you a simple, private spot to eat breakfast in the sun or unwind after the beach. With the bay steps from the front door, most guests move easily between the house, shoreline, and village on foot.
