Aqua Sands - Studio 2 - Opposite Little Oneroa

Summary:

Set directly across from Little Oneroa Beach, Aqua Sands, Studio 2 by Stay Waiheke offers a simple, comfortable base for couples or solo travellers wanting easy access to the water, fresh air, and the relaxed pace of beachside living close to Oneroa Village.



The Space:

Studio 2 sits on the first level beneath the owners’ holiday home, with its own entrance and a sheltered patio nestled into the greenery. The space has a calm, steady feel, with soft daylight coming through the sliding doors and the beach just across the road.
