Clifftop Sanctuary - Hekerua Bay Sea Views | House in Waiheke Island
4 Bedroom House in Oneroa, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Set high above Hekerua Bay, Clifftop Sanctuary is a premium four-bedroom home with wide sea views, expansive outdoor living and a refined, light-filled interior. Open-plan living flows directly to the large sea-facing deck with an outdoor fireplace, while an indoor fireplace and heat pump provide year-round comfort. With 2.5 bathrooms and easy access to Oneroa and Little Oneroa, it is well suited to families with older children or couples travelling together.
The Space:
Clifftop Sanctuary occupies an elevated position above Hekerua Bay, with wide coastal views forming the focus of the home. Cedar tones, generous glazing and bright interiors give the property a warm, considered feel, while the layout is designed around the outlook and easy indoor-outdoor living. With its elevated position, generous outdoor areas and strong connection to the surrounding coastline, Clifftop Sanctuary offers a more private and considered Waiheke stay while remaining within easy reach of Oneroa.
The main living level brings the kitchen, dining and lounge together in one spacious open-plan area. Wide windows frame the sea and glass doors open directly onto the expansive deck, allowing the living spaces to extend naturally outdoors.
The deck is one of the property's standout features, with generous space for dining, relaxing and enjoying the outlook across Hekerua Bay. An outdoor fireplace makes this area particularly inviting on cooler evenings, while the indoor fireplace creates a second gathering point inside.
The fully equipped kitchen sits at the centre of the main living space, making it easy to prepare meals while remaining connected with the dining area, lounge and deck.
There are four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, providing a comfortable layout for families with older children or couples sharing the home.
