Kereru Hill - Walk to Palm Beach with Sea Views | House in Waiheke Island
3 Bedroom House in Palm Beach, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Kereru Hill is a sunny, sea view bach set just above Palm Beach, well suited to relaxed family holidays and easy island living. Bright, practical, and comfortable, the home opens to a wide deck overlooking the valley, creating a simple base for beach days, shared meals, and unhurried time together.
The Space:
The bach is light and open, with a casual layout that encourages indoor outdoor living. The kitchen, dining, and lounge sit together in one easy space and open directly onto the deck, where morning sun reaches across the hillside and the water comes into view beyond.
The kitchen is set up for straightforward holiday cooking and includes a granite bench, cappuccino machine, milkshake maker, toasted sandwich press, and everyday essentials. The lounge is practical and comfortable, with a Smart TV, internet, Freeview, Topbox, and Chromecast for downtime after the beach.
The layout works well for families and small groups, offering two queen bedrooms and a third bedroom with three single beds. A fold out sofa in the lounge can be made available on request for one additional guest.
The deck becomes the heart of the stay, used throughout the day for meals, reading, and time outside between swims. Inside, the spaces remain calm and functional, making the home well suited to longer stays.

The Neighborhood:
Palm Beach is an easy walk from the bach, a calm swimming spot with soft sand and a playground right next to the water. For coffee or a relaxed breakfast, Arcadia is close by with a sunny deck and consistently good coffee, while the Palm Beach Store offers quick takeaway coffees and light bites across from the beach.
For lunch, Batch Winery is a popular daytime stop with panoramic views and relaxed shared plates, ideal for slow afternoons in the sun. Casita Miro is another favourite nearby, known for its Mediterranean shared plates, olive trees, and colourful courtyard atmosphere.
Dinner options are close and varied. Three Seven Two on Onetangi Beach serves seasonal New Zealand dishes in a stylish but relaxed beachfront setting, especially good at sunset. Ki Māha, also on Onetangi, offers a more refined take on modern New Zealand dining, set right on the water for a memorable evening with locally inspired dishes.
If you’re planning a vineyard visit, Mudbrick is one of the island’s signature spots, offering coastal views, refined bistro dining, and a classic Waiheke atmosphere. Cable Bay Vineyards is equally popular, combining ocean views with Mediterranean-influenced menus in a modern setting. And just up the road, The Heke brings together a lively grill, brewery, and open outdoor spaces, a reliable choice for casual meals and crafted drinks.
Getting Around:
The Palm Beach bus stop is a short walk from the house and links directly to Oneroa Village, the Matiatia ferry terminal, Onetangi Beach, and all major wineries (buses stop outside most of them).
Guests can also use local taxis, private drivers, or hire cars, scooters, and e-bikes from Oneroa. Parking at the property is straightforward, and most of the island, from the ferry to the beaches and vineyards is within a ten-minute drive.
Other Things to Note:
