Step into this beautiful vintage villa and relax – your holiday has begun.
Enter the front courtyard garden with its four outdoor white chairs positioned for the afternoon sun. The front porch leads you into a spacious and airy lounge with large comfy couches and open plan kitchen and dining area. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need to create a culinary masterpiece or simply to heat the takeaway gourmet pizzas.
Open the French doors to the large deck complete with BBQ, an outdoor dining setting and bar stools, where you overlook the park-like grounds at the rear of the home. Enjoy your coffee in the morning and drinks at the bar in the afternoon from this inviting space.
Two generous air-conditioned bedrooms are on this upstairs level. The master, with stunning bay windows, is twice the size of a normal bedroom and has its own basin and heated towel rail in the room. There is also a dressing table, chaise lounge and a freestanding wardrobe. From this bedroom you have direct access in to the family bathroom with separate shower and villa style bath, a rare commodity on the island. The second double bedroom has its own ensuite and a separate reading area and overlooks the back garden. This room has a luxurious king sized bed that can also be split into two singles upon request.
Walk around the side of the house to access the additional two garden bedrooms downstairs – both with a queen bed. Please note, there is no bathroom downstairs. All bathrooms are located upstairs on the main floor.
Kick back and relax in the shade on the lower verandah which is a great place to read your book or have a snooze in the hammock. The big grassy area is perfect for pets, for kids to run around or for a little back yard cricket.
Island Villa also has on offer:
• Full onsite laundry facilities. Washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board
• Full suite of cooking and entertaining appliances and utensils
• Air Conditioning and Heat Pumps for the lower bedrooms to keep them comfortable any time of year
• Child’s porta cot and high chair
• Freeview and Wi-Fi
This is the perfect place to come home to after exploring the island and just a five-minute walk through the park to the shopping precinct for a long lunch, walk on Oneroa Beach or a leisurely dinner out. There is a Four Square supermarket, boutique bottle shops and the Island Grocer for your gourmet items. You are also minutes away from the community-run Waiheke Community Island Cinema and the Waiheke Community Art Gallery.
