Moa Studios - Design-Led Loft Studio Near Oneroa

Summary:

Moa Studios is a design-led, New York style loft studio with exposed brick, black steel detailing, and warm timber floors, set within easy walking distance of Oneroa Village. Ideal for a solo traveller or couple, it offers a calm, contemporary base close to cafés, beaches, and island dining.



The Space:

Moa Studios is a fully self-contained studio arranged as one open-plan space that brings the kitchen, living area, and sleeping area together in a layout that feels intentional and easy to live in. The exposed brick wall and black steel framing add texture and character, while timber flooring and soft furnishings keep the space warm and comfortable rather than industrial.



The living area is set up for relaxed downtime, with seating positioned to catch natural light and the green outlook outside. The kitchen is integrated neatly into the space and includes clean cabinetry, good storage, and everything needed for simple meal preparation. It connects naturally to the dining area, keeping the studio open without feeling cluttered.



The sleeping area sits quietly within the studio, visually separated by the steel framing and brickwork. The queen bed is positioned to receive soft light through the windows and maintains an easy flow through to the bathroom. The bathroom is fully tiled and finished in a clean, modern style, with a walk-in shower, vanity, and contemporary fittings.



Outside, a private backyard patio provides a sheltered place to sit, dine, or unwind. The covered roof and surrounding greenery create a comfortable outdoor space, with a BBQ and room to enjoy time outside without leaving the property.



Secure parking is available directly at the entrance, making arrivals and departures straightforward.

The Neighborhood:

Moa Studios is within walking distance of Oneroa Village, placing cafés, shops, and dining options close at hand while keeping the studio itself quiet and private.



For breakfast or coffee, Akito offers modern, plant-focused dishes, while Wai Kitchen is a popular choice for brunch with views over the bay. Solar Eating House is well known for relaxed lunches in a sunny garden setting, and The Local provides simple daytime meals near the beach.



In the evening, The Oyster Inn offers classic coastal dishes, while Fenice is a reliable option for Italian food in the heart of the village. For vineyard dining, Mudbrick Vineyard & Restaurant and Cable Bay are both a short drive away. For something more casual, The Heke offers relaxed food, craft beer, and an open garden atmosphere.



Getting Around:

The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the studio and provides regular services across the island, connecting Oneroa with Palm Beach, Onetangi, and the Matiatia passenger ferry. Buses stop near most major vineyards, including The Heke, making it easy to explore without driving.



Taxis, e-bikes, scooters, and rental cars are available on Waiheke. Walking to Oneroa Village is straightforward from the studio.



Other Things to Note:

The studio runs on rainwater tanks, as is standard on Waiheke Island, so guests are asked to use water thoughtfully during their stay.



Beach towels are provided at properties with an available pool or spa. Guests staying at properties without a pool or spa will need to bring their own beach towels.
