Aqua Sands - Studio 1 | Stay Waiheke

Summary:

A bright studio set just across from Little Oneroa Beach, Aqua Sands – Studio 1 suits couples or solo travellers wanting sea air, easy access to the water, and a quiet base within walking distance of Oneroa Village



The Space:

The studio sits on the first level of a modern holiday home, with views toward the bay and natural light throughout the day. One of two private studios side by side, it has its own entrance, patio, and a quiet, easy atmosphere.



Inside, the open-plan layout keeps everything close and functional. A comfortable king bed sits opposite a small sitting area that opens to the covered patio, looking out to greenery and glimpses of the sea across the road. The kitchenette is set up for simple meals with a small fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, bowls, cutlery, and glasses, ideal for breakfast or light snacks before heading out.



The bathroom is compact and practical for beach days, and the patio works well as a relaxed outdoor spot for morning coffee or an evening drink in the fresh air. With the beach directly opposite, most guests move easily between the studio and the shoreline throughout the day.
