Sunset Sanctuary - Elevated Rocky Bay Retreat | House in Waiheke Island
5 Bedroom House in Omiha, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Set high above Rocky Bay (Omiha), Sunset Sanctuary is a newly renovated home with wide, uninterrupted sea views and a generous wraparound deck that captures long afternoons of sun and soft evening light. Quiet, spacious, and well laid out, it suits families, groups, or couples travelling together who want room to spread out in one of the island’s most peaceful coastal pockets.
The Space:
Sunset Sanctuary is arranged across two separate levels, each accessed externally, making it well suited to groups wanting both shared space and privacy. The upper level centres around the main open plan living, dining, and kitchen area, all oriented toward the view. Large bi fold doors open directly onto the wraparound deck, keeping the outlook and outdoor living front and centre throughout the day.
The kitchen is modern and practical, set up for shared meals and easy entertaining. Outside, the deck provides multiple places to gather, relax, or simply take in the changing light across the bay. A hot tub is positioned to enjoy the outlook, making it a natural place to unwind as the sun sets.
The setting is quiet and settled, with birdsong and coastal stillness defining mornings and evenings. Several beaches, bush tracks, and lookouts sit within walking distance, while a short drive opens up vineyards, restaurants, golf, Palm Beach, and Onetangi.
The lower level offers a separate living zone, creating flexibility for families, multiple couples, or wedding groups wanting their own space. Please note there are no internal stairs between the upper and lower levels, and each floor is accessed externally.
