Moana Retreat by Stay Waiheke | House in Waiheke Island
3 Bedroom House in Surfdale, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Moana Retreat is a contemporary, light-filled home with sweeping water views from almost every room. With three bedrooms, three bathrooms, and generous outdoor living, it offers a peaceful, luxurious base within walking distance of Kennedy Point Vineyard and Picnic Bay.
The Space:
Moana Retreat is arranged across two levels, each capturing uninterrupted sea views. The upper level holds the main living room, the master bedroom with its own ensuite, and a second bedroom positioned beside a separate bathroom. Large windows frame the coastline, and the living space opens directly to the deck, making it an easy place to unwind, read, or enjoy the evening light over the water.
Downstairs, the lower level is designed around a spacious kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has a large island, clean modern cabinetry, and wide sliders that open to the deck, bringing the outdoors into the centre of the home. This level also includes a third bedroom and another bathroom, giving guests their own quiet corner of the house.
The deck runs along the length of the home and is one of Moana Retreat’s strongest features. With wide timber flooring, multiple outdoor seating areas, and panoramic views of the bay, it provides plenty of space for long lunches, relaxed evenings, and simple moments spent watching boats drift across the water. Every area of the home feels connected to the outlook, creating a calm, open atmosphere throughout.
