Pat's Bach - Elevated Bay Views Over Little Oneroa

Summary:

Set above the bush with wide views across the bay, Pat’s Bach is a relaxed island retreat with space, privacy, and an easy indoor outdoor flow. With three bedrooms across the main house and a separate sleepout, generous decks, and water views visible throughout the property, this is a home well suited to families or small groups wanting room to spread out and settle into island time.



The Space:

Pat’s Bach by Stay Waiheke is positioned in an elevated setting, surrounded by established greenery with clear water views across the bay. The home has a warm, grounded feel, with timber detailing, generous windows, and natural light moving through the living spaces throughout the day.



The main house centres around an open living, dining, and kitchen area that connects directly to the deck. This is the heart of the home, where mornings begin with coffee and views across the water, and afternoons drift easily between inside and out. A wood burner sits within the main living space, adding warmth and comfort during cooler months. The kitchen is well set up for holiday living, with good bench space, full cooking facilities, and everything needed for shared meals at home. The living area includes a smart TV, allowing guests to log into their own streaming accounts during their stay.



Two bedrooms and a bathroom sit within the main house, offering a comfortable, private sleeping zone that works well for families or couples sharing. A separate sleepout sits nearby, providing a third bedroom and second bathroom, along with the laundry. This separation makes the layout especially practical for groups who want a little extra privacy or for parents and grandparents travelling together.



Outdoor living is a real highlight here. The decks are positioned to capture the views and sun, with space for outdoor dining, relaxed afternoons, and long evenings looking out across the bay. The grounds are open and easy, with plenty of room to park and move around comfortably.



It is a well cared for, character filled Waiheke bach with a practical layout, generous outdoor spaces, and views that make it easy to settle in and relax.



Please note that air conditioning is located in the separate sleepout only. The main house does not have air conditioning but is well ventilated, with opening windows, established greenery, and good airflow throughout the living spaces.
