Island Sanctuary - Waiheke Holiday Home
Nestled between Ostend and Palm Beach, featuring a spa pool and private deck, Island Sanctuary is ready to host your next island escape in style.
Close to local amenities and surrounded by trees and birdlife, this renovated 1970s holiday bach perfectly blends modern convenience and relaxation. The open-plan living space, decorated with vibrant décor, seamlessly extends to an outdoor living area with a BBQ and outdoor heater, perfect for alfresco dining on the sheltered deck.
Inside, maximize your comfort in the warm and welcoming indoors with Chromecast, TV, and Wi-Fi. Three bedrooms and one bathroom, including a sleepout that provides a private space for two, ensure ample accommodation for everyone. Heat pumps in the lounge and sleepout ensure comfort year-round.
For a day at the beach, head to nearby Palm Beach, just a 3-minute drive away. This spot is perfect for safe swimming and has a playground and BBQ area.
The bus stop is a one-minute walk away, so you can leave the car behind. It's a 15-minute walk to the supermarket, markets, and post office, and you can pick up a pizza nearby. A 20-minute walk or 3-minute drive takes you to the local dairy, while you can cozy up inside at Arcadia café for a romantic dinner, or gather on the covered deck and beer garden area. In 5 minutes, you can drive to the markets at Ostend and wineries at Stoneyridge and Te Motu. Oneroa Beach and village, with its selection of cafes and restaurants, are also just a short drive away.
Island Sanctuary is a relaxing and refreshing base for your Waiheke Island escape!

Liked: Cleanliness
Really enjoyed it
Overall was great. Nice bush.
A couple of issues:
- the hot tube was cold on the 2nd day, after some use. Perhaps the water from us poored out and is our fault. Would be good to know how to refile it
- didn't manage to get the dishwasher working.
Having said all this, loved the place and it was perfect. Very clean and with nice furntiure etc.
