Stylish waterfront retreat - dramatic 180 degree views!

** NEW BEDROOM FAN **
** NEW WOOD-BURNER NOW INSTALLED **

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 the 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...

Fantastic house - peaceful spot in paradise
Wonderful little place over looking the water - Owner was available and helpful from the start. Location was a bit out of the way, but that was perfect as it was quiet and very peaceful. Would suggest having a vehicle. But can’t fault the joint. Excellent place to stay - 5 stars 🌟

Another great getaway
Great base for our 5 days of winery dinning including a session at the Irish Pub where they changed the channel to Supercars for us. The weather wasnt flash so couldnt take full advantage of the cottage deck cooking and eating and relaxing but heat pump kept us warm inside. The setting is quite surreal

The secret hide away.
We loved our stay at this Bach. Everything about it was very unique. Located high up on the side of a bay, offering gorgeous views and the feeling of staying in a treehouse. We enjoyed have breakfast on the deck watching the wood pigeons. As a bonus there is a trail out the back that leads to the bay or around the point that leads to other walking trails or shopping. Ostend is in the center of the island and offers the largest grocery store and access to a bakery, coffee shops and many restaurants, all can be walked to or a short drive. This Bach is very peaceful a great couples get-away.

Absolutely perfect
A beautiful light and spacious get away place for the two of us. Privacy but close to Ostend (Island Coffee for the best coffee and pastries) and the Saturday market. The kitchen/dining area opens up on two sides to the deck area which has dappled sun and shade through the native bush. It was so beautiful in the sunny weather but would be a lovely space too for bad weather - sitting inside and reading with high airy ceilings and views out to the water. The kitchen is well equipped. Chris was super easy to contact and adding a friend in on the sofa bed for one night was no problem. We loved this house and would come back in a flash.

Absolutely Beautiful
We absolutely loved our stay! The home is beautifully designed with a huge multi-layered deck and the glass walls open up to make you feel like your living in a tree house and overlooking the ocean. It is clean and has a well appointed kitchen with everything you could need to cook or BBQ. Highly recommend this place.
