About this property

Beach plus Birds - Modern Holiday Home

Number60 is a private, peaceful holiday retreat, nestling in mature native bush, a short walk from Onetangi beach. It’s located in a sheltered and quiet area: adjacent to the Forest and Bird Reserve which offers beautiful bush walks and bird life. Surrounded by Nikau palms, Puriri and Kanuka trees, it’s a favourite spot for visiting Kereru and Tui. Kaka are also about as with Grey Warbler and Fantail.

The 3 bedroom single level house provides comfortable open plan living, great indoor/outdoor flow, large decking with a gas BBQ and drive on access. A 400 metre trip (5 min for the average person at normal walking pace) through the Pohutakawa Reserve leads you to the beach with 2 km of white sand, one of the most beautiful on the island. There are plenty of other activities available close by: world class vineyards, fishing charters, kayaking, paddle boarding, magnificent bush and vineyard walks and coastal tracks, horse riding and the ECOZIP for an extra thrill. There is also a 9 hole golf course close by. Three licensed cafes on the beach front offer a range of food and beverages throughout the day and in the evenings. Note that the Council maintained walkway through the Reserve, while with a great vista, is steep in parts and involves steps that could be difficult for those with mobility issues ( the road can be an alternative for some). Waiheke is an under developed and hilly island that is essentially part of its charm and accordingly accessibility can be an issue for those with disabilities.
Suitable for families or couples, this property provides a real taste of Waiheke living. Relax in front of the wood burner on chillier evenings (wood supplied) and enjoy the books and DVD's available. The deck is fully fenced with gate.

A Master ensuite provides for greater privacy and convenience for guests.

The property has off-street parking for many cars however the carport may not be available from May to November.

Please contact us for more details via the booking enquiry option.

Note: While we do provide Duvets, blankets and pillows the house does not come with linen (Sheets, pillow cases, towels etc).
You may bring your own but we can arrange hired linen for a fee of $25pp
Please let us know after booking is confirmed

Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$150.00 per stay); Hired Linen (Optional, NZ$25.00 per person);

Great family stay in a peaceful bush setting

We have stayed here many times before and would always come back. It's a good size, lovely bach in a very quiet location and easy to get to Onetangi beach. The bach is clean, spacious and very well equipped with a lovely deck on which to sit out and eat. Thanks for letting us stay and hopefully we can come back in the future!

Lovely location. Very clean and spacious. The only thing that let it down was the water quality. It wasn't pleasant to even get washed in.

Great property had everything you needed for a pleasant stay.

Great property had everything you needed for a pleasant stay. Only things we could comment on: there was no waste bin, could have done with fans in the bedrooms, and some indoor fly auto sprays. Otherwise we had a good stay. It rained the whole time so the extensive DVD collection was awesome!! Beds were comfy, plenty of blankets etc. would highly recommend

Our Waiheke weekend

Easy to find, plenty of space. Nicely set up. Tank water not so good, maybe could invest in a uv filter.

Property was clean and had lots of extras which was nice. Heaps of inside space, good furnishings

Walk through the Bush to the beach was easy but coming back not so much! Sore calf’s the next day 😂. Very relaxing listening to the birds when we were on the deck. We found the water had a funny smell, even when boiled so future guests need to make sure they bring bottled water to drink.

Location was excellent for visiting Onetangi beach and accessing Casito Mero, the Batch & Te Mot

Location was excellent for visiting Onetangi beach and accessing Casito Mero, the Batch & Te Motu vineyards. The Bush provided the contrasting landscape although uncertain of the best track down to the beach. Appreciated the recommendation to the nearest local takeaway. Great burgers and fish n chips!!

The house was really clean, comfortable and had everything we needed to have a really enjoyable stay for our family with two young children. Although there are no sea views from the property it is close to Onetangi beach which is gorgeous and it was lovely looking out onto the bush. We saw kerer?, tui and even K?k? every day which was a nice surprise. We would have no hesitation in staying here again.

Great location and nice house, very well provisioned with good heating. We loved the wood burner! Only drawback for us was the lack of sunshine the house gets being tucked down in the bush (the outdoor decks stayed wet all day) but it may be better in summer as we were there in June when the sun is low in the sky.
