This is a place to slow down, breathe deeply, and take in the beauty of Waiheke from your own hilltop perch. The Space: Perched on a ridgeline with sweeping views in every direction, Overview by Stay Waiheke is a stand-alone retreat designed for quiet escapes and simple living. Large windows and sliding doors frame the outlook from the living area, bedroom, and deck, making the landscape feel like part of the home itself. Inside, the space is warm and welcoming, with a cosy lounge, comfortable furnishings, and a log-burning fire that makes winter stays just as inviting as long summer evenings. The home runs on solar power, giving it a gentle footprint while still providing the modern comforts you need. The kitchen is fully equipped for relaxed cooking, and the outdoor deck is the perfect spot for slow breakfasts, sunset wine, or simply watching the weather shift across the water. This is a place where you wake up to birdsong, linger over views that stretch for miles, and feel wonderfully removed from the everyday. Bed configuration: Bedroom 1 – king bed Please note: 4wd or all wheel drive is required to access this property. Minimum Stays: 7 nights from mid December to mid January, 3 nights all holiday weekends, 2 nights at all other times. Pets considered upon application. Guest Access: You’ll have the entire property to yourself. The home sits on a private hilltop section with no neighbours and expansive grounds to explore. Please note: 4WD or all-wheel drive is required to access the property. The Neighborhood: Overview sits above some of Waiheke’s most spectacular landscapes, surrounded by native bush, farmland, and wide-open skies. While the home feels remote, you’re only a short drive from the island’s celebrated vineyards, coastal tracks, and golden-sand beaches. Spend the day exploring local favourites such as Onetangi, Palm Beach, or Oneroa, or head to vineyards like Mudbrick, Stonyridge, Cable Bay, and Tantalus for long, lazy lunches. The Whakanewha Regional Park is also close by, offering beautiful walking trails through wetlands, bush, and shoreline. When you return home, you’ll feel as though you’ve stepped back into your own private world.

Loved our stay even though the driveway is somewhat terrifying. Property management staff outstanding. ##### Derek R. Stayed 5 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew J. Apr 15, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great little house; amazing views The property is gorgeous—extremely secluded, with stunning views (even by Waiheke standards!) of multiple bays and vineyards. The house is small but well-equipped, modern, and clean. No surprises. If you want somewhere to just hang out and chill it would be hard to beat. The flip-side of the seclusion is you will probably have to drive (or be driven) anywhere you want to go. (Casita Miro is a half-hour walk; Ostend is probably about a 25 minute walk.) This was fine for us as we had previously been staying elsewhere on the island and so just wanted somewhere quiet. I wouldn’t call it a negative—just something to be aware of. Booking, check-in and check-out were all easy. ##### Andrew J. Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nathaniel Jul 27, 2024 ##### Nathaniel Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024
