5 Karu Street, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland

From the road, you see a striking stone and timber-clad house with sensational views over Oneroa Bay, stretching beyond Fisherman's Rock, as well as views over the lifestyle blocks, olive groves, and vineyards of Matiatia Estate.

The charms of Oneroa beach and some beautiful coastal walkways are right on your doorstep. You're also only 350 metres from the boat ramp. Which is very handy because there's plenty of room to park a boat or an amphibious Sealegs here.

No wonder this is such a highly sought-after location. Stroll just 500 metres, and you'll be in Oneroa village with all its shops, restaurants, and cafes.

Meanwhile, you have all the creature comforts you need in a home set in a well-designed, easy-to-maintain garden. It's almost apartment-style living here, courtesy of the elegant, light-filled open-plan lounge, dining and smart, well-equipped kitchen. That excellent living space opens out onto the extensive deck, where you can relax and enjoy the views.

With three bedrooms and two superb modern bathrooms (one ensuite) the whole family will enjoy living here.

There's even fully consented accommodation in the garden, with a separate entrance, full bathroom and kitchenette, for your friends and family to enjoy with added privacy.

And since the passenger ferry at Matiatia is only a few minutes drive away, you're ideally placed to receive any visitors.

The first visit though should be the one you arrange by calling Matthew. He'll be more than happy to give you an idea of what a great place this is to live.
