Church House - Onetangi Sea Views and Spa

Summary:

Church House is a well-appointed, freshly renovated 3-bedroom home plus separate sleepout, set just above Onetangi Beach. With warm wooden floors, open-plan living, and generous outdoor spaces including a spa pool, it offers an easy, relaxed base for families or groups enjoying Waiheke’s coast and nearby vineyards.



The Space:

The main house is arranged across one level, making it simple and comfortable to live in. Open-plan living and dining areas centre around a wood-burning fire and flow easily out to the north-facing deck through bi-fold doors.



Outdoor living is a real highlight. The deck and garden are set up for long days outside, with a large outdoor dining table, gas BBQ, spa pool, and multiple seating areas for relaxing. From here, there are breathtaking sea views across the bay, with the garden providing a private, sheltered setting.



A separate sleepout located at the front of the property provides additional sleeping space and is best suited to children. It has external access and includes two sets of bunk beds, offering a sense of independence while remaining close to the main house.



Whether you are spending the day at the beach, visiting nearby vineyards, or enjoying quiet evenings soaking in the spa, the layout works easily for shared holiday living.

The Neighborhood:

Church House sits above Onetangi Beach in an elevated, peaceful position with the coastline stretching out below. Onetangi is one of Waiheke’s longest beaches and works well for swimming, morning walks along the sand, and relaxed afternoons by the water.



At the far end of the beach, Three Seven Two offers modern coastal dining in a relaxed setting, while Charlie Farley’s sits directly across from the sand and is a popular spot for casual meals, good coffee, and easy afternoons that drift into evening.



Just inland is Vineyard Valley, home to Stonyridge, Tantalus Estate, Te Motu, and Wild on Waiheke, all known for tastings and long lunches among the vines. The Heke is also nearby, combining craft beer, spirits, and hearty food with a lively outdoor garden setting.



Groceries and everyday essentials are close by in Ostend, and Oneroa Village is a short drive away for boutiques, galleries, and dining by the water.



Getting Around:

Getting around from Church House is straightforward. The Matiatia passenger ferry terminal is around a fifteen minute drive. Local bus services run regularly from Onetangi Beach, stopping near wineries before continuing through Oneroa Village and on to the ferry terminal.



Taxis, hire cars, and e bikes are available across the island, and off street parking is available at the property.
