Roses Bach - Onetangi Beach Views

Summary:

Roses Bach is a classic Waiheke holiday home set in a sunny, elevated position above Onetangi Beach. Light filled and relaxed, it offers easy access to the beach and the cafés and restaurants along the waterfront, making it a simple, well located base for guests who want sea air, open views, and an uncomplicated island stay.



The Space:

Roses Bach is an easy, open plan home designed for beach days and slow holiday living. The living, dining, and kitchen areas are connected and bright, opening through glass sliders to a north facing deck with elevated sea views. Sunlight moves through the home throughout the day, and the deck becomes a natural extension of the living space.



The galley kitchen is well set up for holiday cooking and works well for shared meals and casual entertaining. Most guests gravitate to the deck, which suits morning coffee in the sun, long lunches, and relaxed evenings looking out over the water. Inside, the furnishings are comfortable and family friendly, with space to unwind after time at the beach.



This is a true Waiheke bach. Uncomplicated, welcoming, and closely connected to the coastline.



Please note the television plays DVDs only, and a small selection is provided.

The Neighborhood:

Roses Bach is ideally located for enjoying the best of Onetangi. A short walk brings you to the beachfront restaurants, Three Seven Two, Ki Māha, and Charlie Farley’s, along with swimming, paddleboarding, and long evening beach walks. The Onetangi Valley vineyards are moments away, including Stonyridge, Te Motu, Wild Estate, and Tantalus, and Casita Miro is just over the hill for long Mediterranean-style lunches.



Ostend’s Saturday Market, Countdown supermarket, EcoZip Adventures, and The Heke Brewery & Distillery are also close by, offering everything from fresh produce and local crafts to family-friendly dining and tastings.



Getting Around:

The closest bus stop is on Onetangi Road, connecting you to the island’s main route between Matiatia Ferry Terminal, Oneroa Village, Ostend, The Heke Brewery, Palm Beach, and Onetangi Beach. Many of Waiheke’s top vineyards sit along this route, making it easy to get around without a car. Parking is available at the house. Taxis and shuttles operate across the island but can be limited and more expensive during busy periods, so pre-booking is recommended.
