Skyview Onetangi - Elevated Onetangi Retreat

Summary:

Set above the treetops near Onetangi Beach, Skyview Onetangi is a warm, light filled home designed for relaxed island living. High ceilings, skylights, and wide opening doors bring in sun and fresh air, while generous outdoor spaces create an easy flow between quiet mornings, shared meals, and long evenings spent outside.



The Space:

Skyview Onetangi has been thoughtfully rebuilt with natural light and comfort at its core.

Large bi fold doors open to a wide, enclosed deck, making outdoor dining and lounging part of everyday living.



The kitchen is fully equipped for simple meals or longer dinners at home and works comfortably for family stays or small groups. The deck extends the living space further and offers a sheltered setting that can be enjoyed across seasons.



A Vitality sauna offers a quiet, restorative place to unwind on cooler evenings, adding year-round comfort to the stay.



An outdoor wood fireplace and sauna provide warm, quiet places to unwind on cooler evenings, adding flexibility beyond the summer months. Bedrooms are calm and welcoming, finished in soft tones and natural textures, with two modern bathrooms serving the home.

The Neighborhood:

Skyview Onetangi by Stay Waiheke sits a short drive from the white sands of Onetangi Beach, one of the island’s most loved swimming spots. The beachfront hosts a range of relaxed dining options including Three Seven Two and Charlie Farley’s, both ideal for long lunches or dinners by the water.

The surrounding valley is home to some of Waiheke’s best wineries, Tantalus, Stonyridge, Te Motu, Obsidian, The Heke, Wild Estate, and Casita Miro are all within easy reach for tastings and vineyard lunches. Coastal walks, reserves, and quiet tracks connect the wider area to the beach.



Getting Around:

The nearest bus stop is a short walk from the property, with regular services running from Onetangi toward Oneroa and the Matiatia passenger ferry. Buses stop near major wineries including The Heke, Tantalus, Stonyridge, Te Motu, and Wild Estate, before continuing into Oneroa Village and down to the ferry terminal.



Taxis, e-bikes, scooter hire, and car rentals are available across the island. Parking is provided on site for guests arriving with their own vehicle.
