The Geode House - Bush Retreat Near Whakanewha | House in Waiheke Island
3 Bedroom House in Omiha, Waiheke Island
Summary:
The Geode House is an architecturally designed retreat set quietly within native bush. Calm, private, and thoughtfully detailed, the home is designed for slowing down, reconnecting, and settling into the natural rhythm of Waiheke. Recognised nationally for its interior and architectural design, it offers a peaceful place to rest, reflect, and spend time together.
The Space:
The Geode House is a design led retreat shaped around light, landscape, and quiet moments. Surrounded by native bush, the home feels grounded and private, with soft natural light moving through the interiors and outdoor spaces throughout the day.
The house has been nationally recognised for its design, receiving a 2023 Living Space of the Year award for interiors and being named a finalist in the Home of the Year architectural category. These accolades reflect the care and intention behind the layout, materials, and overall sense of calm the home offers.
Inside, the living areas are warm and inviting. A full kitchen sits alongside the dining space and relaxed living room, with a wood burning fireplace providing comfort during cooler evenings. Large windows frame the surrounding bush, keeping the connection to nature present in every room without feeling exposed.
There are three distinct sleeping spaces. Two enclosed bedrooms each feature king beds and offer privacy and comfort. A third queen sleeping nook sits just off the dining area, separated by a screen divider, making it well suited for close family or friends sharing the space.
The main bathroom is centrally located, with a second toilet positioned off the laundry for added convenience.
Outside, a generous deck and cedar hot tub provide a quiet place to unwind. This area is ideal for long evenings, birdsong at dusk, and slow mornings surrounded by bush.
