Aqua Sands - Studio 1 - Opposite Little Oneroa

Summary:

Aqua Sands - Studio 1 by Stay Waiheke,is a bright, easy going studio set directly across from Little Oneroa Beach. With sea glimpses, a covered patio, and a relaxed layout, it suits couples or solo travellers wanting simple beach living within walking distance of Oneroa Village.



The Space:

The studio sits on the first level of a modern holiday home, with natural light throughout the day and a calm, beachside feel. One of two private studios side by side, it has its own entrance and patio, giving guests a quiet and self-contained base close to the shoreline.



Inside, the open-plan layout keeps everything functional and connected. A comfortable king bed sits opposite a small lounge area that opens to the covered patio, a sheltered spot for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. From here, greenery and glimpses of the bay remind you how close you are to the water.



The kitchenette is set up for simple meals with a fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, bowls, cutlery, and glasses, ideal for breakfast or light snacks before heading out. The bathroom is compact and practical for beach days, with everything you need and nothing overcomplicated.



With Little Oneroa Beach directly across the road, guests naturally fall into an easy rhythm of swimming, wandering to the local dairy, relaxing on the patio, and strolling into Oneroa Village for meals.
