About this property

Putiki Bay Retreat WAIHEKE ISLAND *Private Listing*

Welcome to our little piece of paradise nestled amongst historic trees in a secluded part of Waiheke Island. This property is ideal for an extended family looking for a home-away-from-home holiday. There is ample of room for everyone to relax on bean bags on the sprawling lawns, by the pool or in one of two sitting rooms. Outdoor dining can be from the front or back of the house depending on the sun. There is even a baby grand piano to tinker on making it an entertainer's delight!

This property has been listed with an agency whilst the owners have been overseas but from 01/02/24 will be managed privately again so you will not be charged additional booking fees.

The house comes with all the toys to make your stay enjoyable, including two kayaks (already by the water), boogie boards, a surf board and there is also selection of children’s toys & DVDs for entertaining the kids (under 10 years).

The open kitchen is fully equipped including a Kitchen-Aid, bread-maker, slow-cooker, pasta-maker (you name it, we probably have it!) and Nespresso coffee machine and ample of supplies to make your holiday more enjoyable. You simply need to walk in... and relax!

Like a number of properties on the island, our driveway is steep but is sealed and there is plenty of room for turning and parking for 2 or 3 vehicles. The bus stop is conveniently located 50 metres away if required.

We want to reiterate that this is a much-loved family home ideally suited to families looking for a comfortable and relaxing island escape and is NOT a party house. We do have tenants who live in a self-contained 'wing' of the house (with its own entry and entertaining area) that we assure you, you won't see/hear as the property is large but we still ask that any prospective renters respect their privacy.

Pets are considered and by negotiation. A small fee of $50 per pet per stay will be charged.

Minimum stay:
• 3 nights all Public holiday weekends
• 2 nights at all other times

Linen (sheets, bath towels, tea-towels etc) provided. Please bring own beach towels.

Check-in strictly 4pm. Check-out strictly 10am. Please note that due to the number of back-to-back bookings we have over summer we request that these times are adhered to.

Extras: Cleaning (Required, $130.00 per stay); Linen (Required, $120 per stay); Security Bond which covers issues with water pump; spa & tanks (Required, NZ$500 per stay). VRBO will refund bond within 14 days.

Please note we have a standard VRBO cancellation policy in place; should you need to cancel your holiday due to Covid19 restrictions we are happy to oblige.

Amazing place to stay
We really enjoyed staying at Charlie's place. The house was comfortable, had everything we needed and communication was also great. The outdoor area is perfect for kids with a swimming pool, trampoline and tree wings. We would love to come back again.

Wonderful Waiheke Retreat
The house was perfect for our extended family to spend time together and celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was hard to drag ourselves away from the pool . Our granddaughter thought she was in heaven with the play ground, the trees, the pool and really appreciated being allowed to use the art studio. Ideally located to access all the beaches. No one wanted to leave.

About the host

Hosted by CharlieP15

Host profile image
We moved to Waiheke in Jan 2014 when our children were babies and have enjoyed immersing ourselves in this wonderful community. We consider ourselves to be very lucky to live in such a beautiful spot which can feel so remote but still we are only half an hour away from Auckland CBD. We have renting our property since 2017 as we try and take the family away to see other parts of NZ over the summer months, when the Island gets busy but love to kick back and enjoy the space with extended family and friends for the rest of the year. In 2020 we packed up everything to travel the world for a year but sadly Covid19 hit and we were forced to return home. We finally got to relive that dream in 2023, and have been on a 12 month sabbotical since. We will return to Waiheke in Jan 2024, and will continue to rent our place privately for the remainder of summer.

What makes this property unique

We believe our property is a treasure hidden away amongst the trees. We love the open space, the birdlife and the tranquility it offers. Not to mention the sea views across Te Whau Peninsula over to South/East Auckland. It's on a side of the Island that not many experience as they prefer the northern beaches but we simply love the aspect from our home.
