20 Church Bay Road, Oneroa, Waiheke Island, Auckland

Turn one way out of the drive here and Oneroa village with its cafes, restaurants and shops is just up the road. Turn the other way and you can be at Cable Bay and Mudbrick vineyards in just a few minutes.

Or stay home, relax on the elevated decks that run the full length of the house, and you'll enjoy two lovely sea views. One to the north towards Oneroa Bay, the other across Huruhi Bay.

The house itself is on two levels, with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master opens onto that generous deck and has views. There's a modern kitchen and dining area with feature subway-style white tiling, a separate laundry, new laminate flooring, as well as two heat pumps.

There's plenty of room downstairs too - for storage, a home office, or accommodation for extra guests, you decide.

As well as all that, the large 1695m2 section gives you a bush-surrounded garden area at the back with plenty of room for kids to romp around, and good off-street parking on the driveway and in the carport at the front.

If you're looking for a family home on the island, a sizeable holiday bach or a rental to invest in that's not far from the ferry at Matiatia, this property is well worth looking at.
