Aumoana - Large Retreat With Sea Views | House in Waiheke Island
5 Bedroom House in Ostend, Waiheke Island
Summary:
Set above Onetangi with wide sea views, Aumoana is a luxury retreat built for groups. With a pool, spa, gym, and spacious living areas, it offers a relaxed, modern base for up to twelve guests.
The Space:
Aumoana is designed for easy group living, with open, connected spaces and views across the water. The main living, dining, and kitchen areas form the centre of the home. The kitchen is fully equipped with quality appliances and generous bench space, making it practical for shared cooking, relaxed breakfasts, and long lunches. Large doors open to the pool and spa, keeping the indoor and outdoor areas closely linked.
Two super-king suites face the sea and catch the morning light. Both include private ensuites and have a quiet, calm feel. The king and queen bedrooms sit away from the main living area and offer comfortable, softly lit spaces for early nights or slow mornings.
The children’s bunk room includes four king single beds, its own lounge, and a TV, a separate retreat for younger guests and a practical setup for families. Three additional bathrooms and a powder room support the layout, giving the home four full bathrooms plus an extra WC.
A private gym sits on the lower level, and the outdoor areas are set up for group time, mornings by the pool, afternoons in the spa, and evenings gathered around the outdoor dining area with views across the water.

The Neighborhood:
Aumoana sits above Onetangi Beach in a peaceful, elevated position with sea views and greenery all around. It’s around a ten-minute walk down to the beach, where you can grab breakfast or a coffee from Charlie Farley’s, a long-standing local favourite.
Onetangi’s long stretch of sand, often called Millionaire’s Mile, is ideal for swimming, wandering barefoot, or settling in for a relaxed morning by the water.
Nearby vineyards include some of the island’s best-known names:
Tantalus Estate — refined food, excellent wine, and polished vineyard dining.
Stonyridge — one of Waiheke’s most recognised estates, ideal for long vineyard lunches.
Obsidian — boutique vineyard known for quality and relaxed tastings.
Casita Miro — Mediterranean-style shared plates with views across the valley.
For dinner close to the beach, Three Seven Two offers modern New Zealand dishes in a relaxed setting. Ki Māha is another Onetangi favourite, known for its refined beachfront dining and seasonal menu.
On your way home from exploring, The Heke is a convenient stop for craft beer, whisky, and relaxed outdoor seating under the trees
Getting Around:
The local bus runs along Seaview Road, connecting Aumoana to Onetangi Beach, Oneroa, Palm Beach, and the Matiatia Ferry Terminal. Many of the island’s top vineyards — including Tantalus, Stonyridge, and Te Motu — sit on the same route.
If you’re driving, there is plenty of parking on site.
E-bikes and scooters are available for hire across the island.
