3 Bedroom House in Rakino Island

If you are after a simple and idyllic island holiday in the Hauraki Gulf without the mayhem of the now very busy Waiheke Island, this special house on the beautiful Rakino Island is just the place for you.
This Queenslander bungalow boasts spectacular panoramic views of the Hauraki Gulf to Waiheke and Rangitoto Island.
This house was the first ever to be brought across to the island on the barge in the 1970s, so its location on the island is one of the best.
There is a full kitchen with fridge (no freezer), a gas stove with a gas oven. The Queenslander design of the house also allows you to enjoy the view and outdoor living comfortably rain or shine.
The main house has 2 bedrooms inside and the 3rd bedroom is a large sleep out at the back of the house.
There is a regular ferry service to Rakino from downtown Auckland, as well as from the North Shore through the summer. This service can be downloaded from Belaire ferries website. Also, there are water taxis that have regular runs, or can be specifically hired. These run from Auckland and Waiheke. We can advise you further about the water taxis.
There are no shops on the island, so all provisions need to be brought with you onto Rakino.
There are 3 kilometres of road and the beaches are within a short walk.
Special conditions:
The house is an eco house, as Rakino is 'off - the - grid'. We do have a solar power system but we ask all guests to keep power usage to a minimum, and to make sure all power appliances are switched off when not in use. Solar power systems cannot cope with toasters, heaters, hair driers or straighteners so they cannot be used. The house runs on tank water, and although there are two large tanks, please be conscious of water usage.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave and please bring your own towels (bed linen is provided).

This 3 Bedrooms House provides accommodation with View, Ocean View, Balcony/Terrace, for your convenience. This House features many amenities for guests who want to stay for a few days, a weekend or probably a longer vacation with family, friends or group. The rental House has 3 Bedrooms and 1 Bathroom to make you feel right at home.

Check to see if this House has the amenities you need and a location that makes this a great choice to stay in Rakino Island. Enjoy your stay in Rakino Island at this House.

Summary: Breathtaking views and a wraparound porch to spend time enjoying each view. Blessed to stay in this home full of character with everything we needed for a relaxing stay rain or shine (and it did both). Short walks to each bay for swimming, picnics, and rockpooling. Perfect start to holiday season
