Relaxation and seclusion top the list

Relaxation and seclusion are top of the list at this stunning Onetangi bush getaway just minutes from Waiheke’s best beach.

Park in the off-street car space then follow the short path shrouded in nikau palms to the bright orange door of your retreat. Open the door to delight in the light-filled open plan lounge and modern kitchen stocked with everything you’ll need for your stay. The floor to ceiling sliding doors open to the entertainer deck complete with outdoor dining set and barbeque.

Wander into the spacious bedrooms and enjoy the feeling of complete immersion in the tree scape through the large windows.

Bellbird Paradise is the perfect holiday oasis for two couples, friends or a family group with your privacy and peace guaranteed.

For that summer morning swim, just head across the road and walk for a few minutes to access the bush track down to the southern end of Onetangi Beach. Or wander through Pohutukawa Reserve with its extraordinary views and take the scenic path to the beach. This is a great spot high on the hill for an evening glass of wine to watch the ever-changing skies at sunset.

Bellbird Paradise offers beautiful surrounds, comfort and proximity to the beach and with restaurants and wineries just minutes away.

For wine lovers, the toughest decision will be where to go first - Stonyridge, Tantalus, Te Motu, Wild on Waiheke or Casita Miro – all within a two kilometre radius.

Onetangi is a favourite destination for Waiheke visitors with its long, glorious sandy beach. Choose from your three local restaurants, all with stunning vistas out to Aotea Great Barrier and Coromandel Peninsula. Try locals’ favourite, Charlie Farleys, with its famous beer garden and Charlies Big Breakfast then sample Three Seven Two right next door with its inspiring produce-driven and seasonal menu. Making a splash down the road is relative newcomer Ki Māha with sustainably harvested seafood and ethically farmed meats.

You will surely think you have discovered paradise so book your island retreat now.

Retreat in lush native bush
Immersed in nikau palms and beautiful ferns , this clever modern house captures the essence of nature that is truly unique. When it rained the vegetation became magical, out on the covered deck and enjoyed through the huge windows.

Great place, no communication
The property was adequate. The location was good and the property was clean except for several bugs on the wall and curtains. However, we received no check-in instructions. As we were traveling internationally, we did not have readily available access to wifi and had to drive around the island for hours waiting for the host to respond with check in instructions. Check in was at 2:00pm, and we did not hear from the host until after 5:30pm. Traveling with a toddler was difficult without a place to put her down to nap. Again, nice place, but could use better communication from the host.

Lovely environment
Handy to everything, best with a car though. House is a bit tired and could do with a spruce up, given the price. House is smaller than you would expect. Quite damp, with the bush setting. Had a great time on the island !

Lovely place
The place was as described and property manager very helpful. Very well laid out house set in the bush. You really feel tucked away and very private. There are properties either side but plenty of bush between them for privacy (both were empty when we were there). The place is set up really well with everything you need, nice soft beds and lovely linen. The place don't get a ton of sun in the winter as it is all about the bush setting - would get more in the summer when the sun is higher. We would stay there again.

Like staying in a jungle!
The location was very secluded and off the beaten path. It felt like we were staying in a jungle. Every window had an amazing view of palm trees. Its important to note that the busses service that location only once a day, so if mobility is an issue, this might not be the best location. It’s a little more than a half mile into town with a pretty serious incline. The outdoor living space was stellar—covered porch made it possible to enjoy time outside even if it was raining the whole time. Overall, I really enjoyed our stay.
