2 Bedroom House in Onetangi, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Set between Onetangi and Palm Beach, Artist’s Retreat offers bright, modern living with sweeping sea views, bush surroundings, and space for up to six guests makes it an easy, comfortable base for island days.
The Space:
Artist’s Retreat is arranged across two connected pavilions, creating a simple, open layout with plenty of natural light. The main pavilion holds the living, dining, and kitchen areas. Under the high gable roof, the space feels calm and airy, opening straight to a wide deck surrounded by native bush.
The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed cooking at home, whether you’re preparing breakfast before heading down to the beach or winding down with an easy dinner after exploring the island. The deck extends the living area outdoors and quickly becomes the central gathering spot, shaded, quiet, and ideal for meals or evening drinks.
The home includes two bedrooms.
The main bedroom is positioned for morning light and greenery, with a king bed and soft, simple furnishings.
The second bedroom offers flexible sleeping options: a queen bed, a single bed with a pull-out trundle beneath, and a sofa is ideal for families or groups sharing the space. The bathroom sits close to both bedrooms and is practical for everyday use.
With its open layout, bush outlook, and easy indoor–outdoor flow, the retreat suits couples, families, or small groups looking for comfort and space.
