Oakura Bay Villa by Stay Waiheke

Summary:

Oakura Bay Villa is a rare, private beachfront estate on Waiheke Island, set on its own stretch of coastline with three small islands, sweeping sea views, and complete seclusion. This beautifully restored Kauri villa has been carefully preserved and modernised, offering a relaxed coastal experience ideal for families and friends wanting true privacy and direct access to the water.



The Space:

The villa brings together the character of an original Kauri homestead with the comfort of a spacious, coastal retreat. Wraparound covered decks frame the home, creating multiple outdoor spots to sit, read, or watch the tide move across the bay. A porch swing sits along the veranda, a favourite place for guests of all ages to unwind. Outdoor seating areas, a BBQ zone, and an outdoor shower make the property feel connected to the beach in every direction.



Inside, the home is warm and welcoming, with timber floors, comfortable furnishings, and wide windows framing the garden and sea beyond. The large 1970s kitchen is fully equipped and includes a classic wood-burning stove, with easy access to the dining and sunroom area, a bright space for long meals and slow mornings.



The main lounge faces directly toward the water and is set up for relaxed evenings with books, games, and a flat-screen TV for rainy days or slow nights in. The bedrooms are spread throughout the home, offering generous space for families, groups, or mixed sleeping arrangements, with a combination of superking, king, queen, bunk, and trundler setups ideal for larger groups.



Large lawns, mature trees, and coastal pathways connect the home to the beach, creating a calm and expansive environment that feels completely private.

This property can only be accessed with a 4WD vehicle. The driveway is very steep, unsealed, and has potholes, so guests must take extra care when driving up or down. Standard vehicles are not suitable for this property.



Guest Access:

Guests have private use of the full five-hectare property, including the villa, surrounding lawns, three private islands, and 1.7 kilometres of coastline. Safe swimming, kayaking, snorkelling, picnicking, and lawn games are all just steps from the front door. Parking is available on site. Early check-in or late check-out may be possible depending on other bookings.



The Neighborhood:

Oakura Bay Villa is uniquely located on its own private beach.



Oakura Bay Villa is centrally positioned for exploring some of the island’s most well-known wineries and natural spaces. Nearby vineyards include Man O’ War for long seaside lunches, Poderi Crisci for Italian-inspired dining in its sheltered valley, and Passage Rock, known for its Syrah and peaceful rural outlook. Whakanewha Regional Park is close by, offering forest walks, wetlands, and coastal tracks. The white sands of Onetangi Beach, along with beachside dining and cafés, are also within easy driving distance.



Essential services including the car ferry terminal, petrol station, and the island’s main supermarket are located ten to fifteen minutes from the property.



Getting Around:

A car is recommended due to the property’s rural setting and private coastline. Parking is provided on site. Taxi services are available island-wide, and bus routes operate through the central villages and key winery stops including Cable Bay, Mudbrick, Tantalus, Stonyridge, and Te Motu.



Other Things to Note:

This property can only be accessed with a 4WD vehicle. The driveway is very steep, unsealed, and has potholes, so guests must take extra care when driving up or down. Standard vehicles are not suitable for this property.



The home operates on rainwater tanks, so guests need to be mindful of water use, especially during summer.
