Mawhiti by Stay Waiheke | House in Waiheke Island
4 Bedroom House in Oneroa, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Perched above a quiet private beach with uninterrupted Hauraki Gulf views, Mawhiti is a private architectural retreat made for slow, easy days. Designed by award-winning architects and finished with contemporary New Zealand artworks, it’s a rare home where space, landscape, and comfort come together naturally.
The Space:
Mawhiti is arranged as a series of warm, light-filled pavilions, all connected by covered walkways and oriented toward open water views. Natural materials, high vaulted ceilings, and minimal, beautifully considered interiors create a calm atmosphere from the moment you arrive.
The main living pavilion is the heart of the home. Large sliders pull back to the deck, giving you an open connection between indoors and outdoors. The lounge offers generous seating and a feature fireplace, and the kitchen is fitted with quality appliances plus a full scullery tucked behind for extra prep space and storage. It’s an easy place for long lunches, relaxed dinners, and simple mornings with the doors open to the sea air.
Each of the four super-king bedrooms sits in its own quiet wing, with an ensuite and private courtyard or deck. Every room opens directly outside so you can wake to soft morning light and settle in at night with the sound of the tide below. Throughout the home, New Zealand artworks and sculpture, including pieces by Anton Forde, sit naturally within the architecture.
The outdoor areas are designed for effortless island living: a wide entertainment deck for BBQs and sunset wine, sheltered corners for reading, and a private path leading down toward the quiet beach below.
