About this house rental


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 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...

This holiday bach totally lived up to the advert. Stunning views of the sea and wonderful bird watching. It was so relaxing and hard to leave. Chris called and helped us settle in, which was nice. Everything was easy. We were grateful to find a place that welcomed dogs. Thanks to the hosts!

Wow. The view! Perfect for a weekend away. Close to everything. Well set up. Everything you need. But the view…..
10 / 10Outstanding·Jan 2026
We love this bach and have stayed there at least five times. The host is extremely helpful, providing lists of "to do" things both on Waiheke and how to operate various appliances etc. in the house. It is always spotlessly clean and has everything you could possible want in the kitchen. The view is delightful, framed by two HUGE pohutakawa trees and the local walks down to the water or along the cliffs to the end of the peninsula are very rewarding.
