About this property

Palm Grove – A Relaxed Onetangi Bush Retreat

The heart of this retreat features an open-plan living space where the kitchen, dining and lounge areas flow seamlessly together. French doors open onto a spacious, all-weather covered deck with an adjustable louvre roof, creating an inviting indoor-outdoor living space. Enjoy long lunches in the shade, soak up the sunshine or gather around the wood-fired pizza oven for an evening meal. During cooler evenings, the woodburner creates a cosy haven.

Palm Grove sleeps up to five guests across three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with well-behaved four-legged guests welcome too. Bedroom one features a king bed, while bedroom two has a king bed that can be configured as two singles. Bedroom three has a king bed. One bedroom and bathroom are located downstairs and are accessed externally via steps. Bedroom heaters, a heat pump and woodburner provide comfort throughout the year, making Palm Grove a welcoming retreat for both guests and their furry companions, with well-behaved dogs welcome to enjoy the Waiheke escape too.

The well-equipped kitchen combines style and functionality, with modern appliances and a Nespresso coffee machine. Outside, the generous deck provides plenty of space for outdoor dining and relaxing, whatever the weather.

Perfectly positioned in Onetangi, Palm Grove is around a 10–15 minute walk to Onetangi Beach, The Heke and the recently Michelin Star awarded Tantalus Estate, making it easy to enjoy swimming, dining and Waiheke’s renowned food and wine scene. The nearby bus route also makes exploring the island’s wineries, beaches and walking trails convenient.

Perfect hideaway

House was gorgeous. Suited our family perfectly. The location was great and we loved all the native birds and had a visit by the local family of Weka. Driveway wouldn’t be suitable for a two-wheel vehicle as very steep and we struggled getting out with an all-wheel. May be easier in summer.

Lisa, we’re so pleased the home was a great fit for your family and that you enjoyed the peaceful setting and visits from the local Weka. Thank you for your comment about the driveway. While there is a noticeable incline, it is pictured in the listing and generally manageable for two wheel drive vehicles, particularly in dry conditions. We will continue to keep an eye on feedback to ensure expectations are clear for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for another relaxing escape.
