Stay Steps from the Sand at Onetangi Beachfront Apartments
If you're dreaming of a holiday where you can wake up to the sound of waves, step out of your apartment and onto golden sand, and relax into the rhythm of island life, Onetangi Beachfront Apartments is your perfect destination. Located right on the edge of Waiheke Island’s longest and most beloved beach, these fully self-contained apartments offer comfort, convenience, and unbeatable access to everything that makes Waiheke so special — especially in the quieter, more peaceful seasons.
A Prime Location on Waiheke Island
Onetangi Beach is often considered the jewel of Waiheke’s coastline. With its expansive stretch of soft sand, safe swimming conditions, and iconic west-facing sunset views, it’s no wonder that this part of the island is a favourite among both locals and visitors. The Onetangi Beachfront Apartments sit directly on this beautiful shoreline, offering uninterrupted views and immediate beach access. Whether you want to start your day with a barefoot beach walk, take a refreshing swim, or enjoy a wine at sunset, the location couldn’t be better.
In just a few steps, guests can reach beach cafés like Charlie Farley’s and Three Seven Two — ideal for a morning coffee, casual lunch, or relaxed evening meal with a view. For those interested in exploring more, Onetangi is a convenient base for reaching many of the island’s top wineries, walking tracks, and attractions, all without the crowds of the main township.
Accommodation to Suit Every Traveller
The apartments are designed to suit a wide range of travellers — from couples seeking a romantic retreat to families on holiday or friends travelling together. Options range from studios to one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments, many with private balconies and panoramic sea views. Each apartment is equipped with full kitchen facilities, comfortable beds and lounges, modern bathrooms, and laundry amenities — making them ideal for both short stays and longer holidays.
The décor is relaxed and welcoming, echoing the laid-back charm of island life, and everything you need is on hand: free Wi-Fi, flat screen TVs, heating and cooling options, and onsite parking. Some units also offer spa baths and direct access to grassy outdoor areas perfect for summer picnics or watching the sunset with a glass of local wine.
A Year-Round Destination
While Waiheke is known for its summer buzz, Onetangi Beachfront Apartments offer year-round appeal. In the cooler months, guests can enjoy long walks on nearly empty beaches, cosy meals at nearby restaurants, and visits to cellar doors without the crowds. The apartments’ heating and insulation ensure a warm and restful winter stay, and many guests say it’s one of the most peaceful times to experience the island.
Winter promotions — like the current 30% off when you book two nights or more — make a getaway even more appealing. Fewer visitors mean more opportunities to explore the island at your own pace, whether you’re hiking through native bush, joining a dark skies tour, or enjoying the quiet beauty of a rainy beach day from the comfort of your balcony.
Close to Wineries, Walks and Waiheke Attractions
One of the best things about staying at Onetangi Beachfront Apartments is how easily you can access the best of Waiheke. Within a short drive (or eBike ride) you’ll find award-winning wineries such as Tantalus Estate, Obsidian, Stonyridge, and Te Motu. Many of these offer tasting experiences, winery lunches, and cellar door sales that let you take a bit of Waiheke home with you.
For nature lovers, nearby walking tracks offer a chance to see more of the island’s beauty. The Onetangi Forest and Bird Reserve, with its lush bush, native birds and ancient trees, is just minutes away. Further afield, Whakanewha Regional Park is a must for anyone who loves coastal hikes, forest streams, and scenic picnic spots.
If you’re looking for a little adventure, book a ziplining experience with EcoZip Adventures, or take a scenic flight with Waiheke Wings. For those who prefer to explore at a slower pace, bike hire from eRide Waiheke makes it easy to discover hidden beaches, art galleries, and local markets.
Easy to Get To, Hard to Leave
Getting to Waiheke is easier than ever, with regular ferry services from downtown Auckland and Half Moon Bay. If you’re bringing a car, SeaLink offers vehicle and passenger ferries, while Island Direct provides an affordable and scenic return service for foot passengers. Onetangi Beachfront Apartments offer on-site parking, but if you’re travelling car-free, local transport options like buses, taxis and bike hire make it easy to get around.
Once you’re here, you might find that you never want to leave. The sound of the waves, the open horizon, and the relaxed energy of the island create an atmosphere that’s hard to replicate anywhere else.
