About this property

Stylish waterfront retreat - dramatic 180 degree views!

** NEW BEDROOM FAN **
** NEW WOOD-BURNER NOW INSTALLED **

Within 5 minutes drive from arrival on Waiheke, your ultimate Bach 52 chill-out experience awaits. This cleverly designed, stylish space is discretely located at the end of an elevated bush-clad peninsular running alongside Anzac Bay, with accommodation and decking laid out to maximise sun, privacy and the dramatic grandstand native bush and bay s-edge views below. A private bush track leading from the house takes you to a little-known, safe, all-tide swimming beach.

The tranquil waterfront location and outlook to the Te Whau headland across the bay feels remote, yet is so central to the island s very best beaches, vineyards and cafes, as well as car and foot passenger ferries. It s a surprisingly short stroll to the shops and cafes of Ostend village, where you ll find the famous weekend markets. From here you could explore the white sands of Palm Beach - just 2-3 minutes by car. A 5-6 minute drive will have you at Oneroa village and beach, or in the other direction at Onetangi for more great beachfront cafes. Ostend is the hub of the island s bus service and you ll find a stop to take you almost anywhere, just at the end of the street.

This striking one bedroom house has undergone meticulous renovation in recent years, including a custom-built Smeg kitchen and new bathroom and toilet. Large windows throughout frame magical views - you feel as though you re hanging over the water. Bi-folding and French doors seamlessly connect all living spaces with decks which enjoy all day sun. The bedroom, also with dramatic bush and sea views, is spacious and fresh and the enormous Pohutukawa picture window gives the feeling of a tree house - just stunning when in red Christmas bloom.

B52 is the ultimate place and couple s space, to escape, chill, dream, unwind, disconnect from the rat-race and reconnect with your own pace. So easy to find, so hard to leave - unforgettable nature, seascape and landscape...

Special conditions:
- The property is not suitable for small children and those less able, due to the multi-level layout, open internal staircase and bedroom balcony.
- Ten steps and a short sloping path laid in white chip, lead from the flat off-street parking, down to the house.
- The short driveway is of relatively easy gradient. We do however request those without 4wd to park on the street, as many guests are unfamiliar on loose metal.
- The house is at the end of a cul-de-sac with ample on-street parking immediately outside, which is also flat and in view of the house.
- The boat mooring is suitable for vessels up to 6 metres in length / 0.33m draft and may only be used by prior arrangement.
- Smoking is only permitted outside.
- Pets may only be permitted upon application.

The secret hide away.
We loved our stay at this Bach. Everything about it was very unique. Located high up on the side of a bay, offering gorgeous views and the feeling of staying in a treehouse. We enjoyed have breakfast on the deck watching the wood pigeons. As a bonus there is a trail out the back that leads to the bay or around the point that leads to other walking trails or shopping. Ostend is in the center of the island and offers the largest grocery store and access to a bakery, coffee shops and many restaurants, all can be walked to or a short drive. This Bach is very peaceful a great couples get-away.

Beautiful location and space that capitalises in the natural beauty around
Every window artfully frames beautiful trees and a fabulous water view. The home feels spacious and light. Amenities close by yet you feel far away from everything. Privacy from neighbours. Wonderful watching the tide coming and going and appreciate the view.
