Sunset Sanctuary by Stay Waiheke | House in Waiheke Island
5 Bedroom House in Omiha, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Set high above Rocky Bay with wide, uninterrupted sea views, Sunset Sanctuary is where peaceful mornings and golden sunsets spill across a huge wraparound deck. With room for families, groups, and couples travelling together, this newly renovated home offers space, comfort, and the kind of quiet you only get on the southern side of the island.
The Space:
Sunset Sanctuary is made for easy days at the beach and long evenings on the deck. The upper level holds the main open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, designed to keep the views front and centre. A large, modern kitchen makes shared meals simple, while bi-folds open straight onto the wide deck where you can sunbathe, gather, or relax in the hot tub as the sky turns orange.
Wake to the sound of birds and the stillness of Rocky Bay. Two beautiful beaches, native bush tracks, playgrounds, and coastal lookouts all sit within a short walk of the house. If you prefer exploring by car, you’re less than ten minutes from vineyards, restaurants, the golf course, Palm Beach, and Onetangi.
Downstairs offers a separate living zone ideal for families, multiple couples, or wedding groups wanting space and privacy.
Please note: there are no internal stairs between levels.
