Summary:
Villa Valmont is a comfortable, family-friendly home set in a central part of Waiheke, with a swimming pool, generous outdoor areas, and partial sea views from elevated decks. Well suited to families or mixed groups, it offers relaxed indoorâoutdoor living within easy reach of Palm Beach, Oneroa, and Ostend.
The Space:
Villa Valmont is arranged to suit group stays, with multiple living areas and outdoor spaces that allow guests to spend time together or spread out when needed. The home is practical and welcoming, making it a good option for relaxed island holidays.
The main living area is open plan and bright, with comfortable seating, a dining space for shared meals, and windows that bring in natural light along with glimpses of the sea. The kitchen is fully equipped for everyday holiday cooking, whether thatâs simple breakfasts or casual dinners at home.
Outdoor areas are a key part of how the home is used. One deck sits off the living area and offers a pleasant spot for morning coffee or evening drinks. A second deck is positioned beside the swimming pool and works well for supervising children, sunbathing, or spending time outdoors together. The pool area is private and functional rather than resort-style, and best enjoyed as part of a relaxed family stay.
There are four bedrooms across the home, providing flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups travelling together. In addition to the main living space, there are extra lounges and quiet corners that work well for reading, working, or winding down after a day out on the island.
